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.

Dirt II - 1680x1050; High Quality; No AA

Dirt II - 1920x1080, Ultra, 8xAA

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.

Metro 2033 - 1680x1050; High Quality; 4xAF

Metro 2033 - 1920x1080; Very High Quality; 4xAA; 16xAF

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.
