The Gigabyte P35-DS3R Motherboard Review

F.E.A.R.

Sierra; F.E.A.R w/ v1.0.8 patch:

F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault and Recon) is a first-person close-quarters combat game for the PC. The story begins when a paramilitary force infiltrates a multi-billion dollar aerospace compound, and the government responds by sending in Special Forces. The group loses contact with the government when an eerie signal interrupts radio communications–and when that interference subsides moments later, the team has been destroyed. That’s where you come in. As part of a classified strike team created to deal with threats no one else can handle, your mission is simple: eliminate the intruders at any cost, determine the origin of the signal, and contain the potential crisis before it gets out of control.

This was another one of those tests that we just could not figure out why the scoring was so off. While all of the recent boards that we have tested have scored well over 100 in our F.E.A.R. testing, the P35 comes in dead last at a score of 99. I doubt that there is any significant real-world diferences that you would see while playing games, but, simply put, the scores are what they are.
