A slightly more 'wilder' game to benchmark, Rome Total War results tend to fluctuare more than other benchmarks in our test suite.  The Gigabyte P965-DQ6 seems to be the faster board by a small margin, but that can come from the higher variations between runs with this game.


We were quite surprised to see this old game scale this good with a second core. Again we're seeing slightly lower results from the ASUS P5B Deluxe, though nothing significant. These are averages of three runs, with little variations between runs so we're confident the different is more than just normal variations between runs. And again, the three other boards using Realtek's codec stays pretty close together.


The periodical hiccup from fetching data from the hard drive can be seen from the low minimum frame rates across all boards.  However small, the Gigabyte P965-DQ6 appears to be in the lead by a miniscule margin. Nothing to write home about and certainly nothing you'll likely notice during gameplay.
