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.

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.
