The SiSoft2007 hard drive performance is much the same on all three motherboards, as was the USB 2.0 performance. The 3Dmark2003 audio results showed both the Gigabyte and ASUS nForce 590 SLI boards dropping roughly 18% of their initial average frame rate once audio is enabled.
The Gigabyte M59SLI-S5 was significantly faster than the older K8NXP-SLI which is also a Gigabyte motherboard, though this older board offers the 939-pin socket.
