Benchmark Results: Clear Sky And World In Conflict
MSI edges above EVGA at our lowest Clear Sky setting, while both Asus boards hold a top position by around 2%.
Increasing the detail levels allows EVGA to edge out MSI at our medium resolution, while Asus continues its small lead with both motherboards. Up to this point, it appears that the power-user-friendly P7P55D-E Premium provides better gaming performance than the “gamer’s choice” Maximum III Formula.
The P55 Classified 200 edges past the Maximus III Formula at our lower World in Conflict settings, while the P7P55D-E Premium keeps its lead across through the majority of tests.

The only thing for me is: why did you not test 2 VGA cards? Two of the boards use a NF200 chip, now you won't see the results from this...
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.
I'm still going 1366 simply because for what I do I prefer 12GB RAM over 8GB - that's honestly the only reason now.
You should have tested this against a 150$ board and a 50$ board. That would have been interesting.
When are you gonna do the three card crossfire / SLI review comparing the msi and evga P55 boards with X58? There's seems little relevance to reviewing these cards at all without including a 3 card metric, as that is their primary function. You wouldn't spend double the amount on either of these two boards otherwise.
