The Intel X79-based Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5 motherboard test system scores a record high 17560 in PCMark Vantage. What's interesting here is that PCMark really prefers the 32-bit environments over 64-bit, as you can see by several sub-tests. On the whole the Intel X79 platform is quicker than the P67/H67/Z68 platforms, specifically in; Memory, Gaming, Music, Communications. Productivity doesn't see any benefit - pun intended?

Let's skip ahead to the 3DMark11 and see how badly the results take a turn, next.
