Everest Memory Benchmark
While not truly indicative of real world performance, Everest's memory performance tool is widely recognized as a bona-fide benchmark for gauging the effects of memory and chipset performance tuning. We lined up a number of boards under similar timing ranges to see how they compare with one another at the stock 9.5x333FSB versus tuned for best stable performance at 500FSB.
Here's the first big surprise, the EVGA 790i FTW trails ASUS' rendition of the same chipset. Considering NVIDIA knows more about the 790i than anyone else, the performance at 500FSB being so far adrift of what this chipset can really do is unexpected. We did try enabling both P1 and P2 performance registers but found that the board would only boot with P2 enabled or with both P1 and P2 disabled.
As you can see below, with the exception of write bandwidth that is still below par, the rest of the figures suggest that something is amiss...

EDIT:"No FSB holes, no data corruption at STOCK SPEEDS, no unexplainable SLI anomalies like graphic corruption or freeze-ups in games or while watching videos."
Because I don't have to deal with the underdeveloped SLI crap anymore!!
"EVGA is brave. They'll probably have to install new servers and hire another 100 techs to answer the 1000 pages of threads with the title "FREEZEING UP AT STOCK SPEEDS, HELPXOR M3!!!" or "WILL WE EVER GET AN ANSWER FROM YOU EVGA?""
That is, if they can get their techs out of the break room!

Why aren't the graphs the same color? Why is the EVGA green in one bar graph and orange in another? How hard is it to keep the bar graph colors consistent?McFlu - Thursday, January 1, 2009 - link
they do stay the same color, theyre just in different orders along the side. you should read a bit better.Rajinder Gill - Wednesday, November 5, 2008 - link
