The Battle of the P67 Boards - ASUS vs. Gigabyte at $190

Dirt 2
Dirt 2 came to the PC in December 2009, developed by Codemasters with the EGO Engine. Resulting in favourable reviews, we use Dirt 2’s inbuilt benchmark under DirectX 11 to test the hardware. We test two different resolutions at two different quality settings, in single and dual GPU setups.
Metro 2033
Metro 2033 is the Crysis of the DirectX 11 world (or at least until Crysis 2 is released), challenging every system that tries to run it at any high-end settings. Developed by 4A Games and released in March 2010, we use the inbuilt DirectX 11 benchmark to test the hardware.
Conclusions
You cannot really budge any of the boards in their 3D performance. The Gigabyte board technically performs worse than either of the other P67 boards benchmarked, but the differences between them could easily be masked by statistical variance.

I have a serious question about these mobos.Both Asus and Gigabyte P67 motherboards don't have "VT-D enable" option in their BIOS, whereas P55 does. Asrock P67 have it.
So up to now, VT-D are non usable on Asus and Gb.
What the hell is this ?? You got a CPU with VT-D and you cannot use it ??
Have you some info about this ??
That is a huge problem for many people.

You need a non-K CPU (ii5-2400, i5-2500, i7-2600), so this wont be used for any OC-PC builder.Cashano

It's sure you need a non-K CPU.I'm talking about motherboards.
In Asus and Gb mobos there's NO VT-D option at all. In asrock P67 there is, and even the old asus P55 have that option.
I'am asking if someone knows if VT-D support in Asus and Gb will be in some BIOS update, or watherver else.

I'm not sure about P67 Vt-d from Gigabyte or Asus, yet. But P55 offers the Vt-d support.Next, if you are looking for P67 with Vt-d, then get Intel's Extreme Series board, DP67BG (but wait till April, till Intel replaces its stock):

That MOBO fares very well, check out some reviews. But if you are OC freak, especially compare everything with Gigabyte/Asus then forget it.
As of today, I've suspended procuring P67 MOBOs because of SATA bug plus Vt-d wasn't clear enough. I've to wait till April or so.

I remember when I used to buy my Abit IP35 PRO "Off limits" it cost me $150 . It had nearly EVERYTHING, and it was a great motherboard. It's still going rocksolid with a modest overclock for over 3 years?I have build a lot of PCs, which housed a GIGABYTE DS3L motherboard, damn great motherboard, great features. And the price? $110. Overclockability? Just simply awesome. Running some older core 2 duo's with a modest overclock of 400/500mhz.
BSOD's? NONE all in 2-3 years so far.
It was THE bang for the budget motherboard for normal users. Offcourse we are all enthousiasts, but that doesn't mean we have enthousiast wallets...
And for $190, it SHOULD come with just about everything AND have high quality parts.
It's just that simple. I'lll be waiting for the sub $150 in depth reviews. That's where the majority is at. And so should you (anandtech) too.

Too bad LAN performance wasn't compared, this is often ignored because nearly all boards use Realtek cr*p.However, the Asus board uses an Intel solution, it would be interesting to see how badly the Intel chip beats the RTL8111 in terms of CPU load, throughput, etc.

So if I can get a p8p67 pro + 2500k for the same price (exact same) of aASRock P67 Extreme4 + 2500k.
The p8p67 pro would be better?
