The latest MSI Eclipse SLI BIOS increases the SLI performance slightly to just below the Asus P6T Deluxe's now, but there's still a frame per second difference between them in favour of the Asus.

In Far Cry 2, the MSI Eclipse SLI has a solid lead of several fps on average and for the minimum fps over the Asus P6T. The new 123 BIOS increases the average score ever so slightly but the minimum stays the same.

Retesting both the Asus and MSI in Left 4 Dead, both boards perform almost identically and the 0.1 fps difference is within experimental error.
