Gigabyte GA-X58-USB3 Motherboard Review

Cinebench R10
The MAXON CINEBENCH R10 uses a wide range of algorithms and instructions which ensure that the tests performed deliver a very good overview of a system’s overall performance capabilities, also with regard to other CPU and graphics card-intensive tasks. MAXON CINEBENCH R10 supports up to 16 CPUs or CPU cores and runs under Windows (2000, XP, Vista in 32-bit or 64-bit) or Mac OS X (with PowerPC and Intel processors).

It’s a real-world test suite that assesses your computer’s performace capabilities. MAXON CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such and Spiderman, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more.

An overclock generally sees the Cinebench R10 render time drop by around 6 or 7 seconds, whereas this board gave us a huge 13 seconds decrease in render time at 4GHz compared to stock and showed great capability behind rendering on the X58 platform.
