Aliens vs. Predator Benchmark
Aliens vs. Predator is a DirectX 11 science fiction first-person shooter video game, developed by Rebellion Developments. Available as a standalone benchmark, on default settings the benchmark uses 1920x1080 with high AF settings. Results are reported as the average frame rate across 4 runs.
The X79 Extreme9 performs well in AVP, coming either top or near top for the benchmark.
Dirt 3
Dirt 3 is a rallying video game and the third in the Dirt series of the Colin McRae Rally series, developed and published by Codemasters. Using the in game benchmark, Dirt 3 is run at 1920x1080 with full graphical settings. Results are reported as the average frame rate across 4 runs.
While a good showing for Dirt3 on AMD, the X79 Extreme9 seems to fall when using NVIDIA compared to other boards.
Metro2033
Metro 2033 is a challenging DX11 benchmark that challenges 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 Frontline benchmark to test the hardware at 1920x1080 with full graphical settings. Results are given as the average frame rate from 10 runs.
The X79 Extreme9 is never far off the top in Metro2033 compared to other X79 - using one 5850 and the board is only 0.6 FPS below the best board.

Is actually pretty amazing. How far have we come, compared to the days where heck, even the panel didn't have a standard. Tons of funcionality in so little space.That card looks awesome, almost worth the price premium :).

Request for a review of EVGA Classified SR2Wexy101 - Wednesday, July 11, 2012 - link
HelloI'm looking at this mother board for a future upgrade. I think its a very good one as it doesnt have all the fancy overclocking additions like a ROG IV but has the performance.
In relation to the fan speed, during the testing, do you know how slow you can make the fans? IE the amount of voltage that can be sent to it. ON my current MB i had to use FanSpeed to get the speed right down as the bios was unable to got that low.

I have it as in the role of the 24/7 server running more than a year. It's becoming more and more stable as they make new bioses. looks like memory compatibility issue (with Kingston Blue 32 GB ram it used to freeze once in 2 days, now have 64GB Kingston crashes freezes a month). Same hardware ran on the previous server based on DFI mobo for year without single crash (only disk replacements when dead).
