Arranging our charts by performance first, then alphabetically, always does a little injustice to MSI when there’s a tie. The Maximus III Formula merely matches the Big Bang Trinergy in iTunes audio conversion.


The Maximus III Formula edges out MSI in Lame, while MSI edges out the remaining models of today’s comparison.

The Trinergy takes another win in TMPGEnc, cutting DivX encoding by a single second compared to its closest competitor.

MainConcept shows both Asus products leading MSI, then EVGA.

Whyle this is why the EVGA and MSI are expensive.
I wouldn't be surprised if the MSI P55-GD80 performs better with 1 VGA card then its expensive brother.
