Despite equalling other P45 boards with its balanced twin x8 PCI-Express 2.0 lanes, the DFI JR lags behind the rest if the pack by a frame per second or two, only achieving a better performance than the hobbled PCI-Express x16/x4 Gigabyte P35 board.

In ET:QW again the DFI JR performance just drops off and it's now several FPS behind the rest of the boards we've tested, although still considerably faster than the older P35s.

Finally, in World in Conflict the DFI JR is still the slowest performing P45 we've tested in CrossFire, but this time only by a small margin in average and minimum frame rate.
