The P5N-E SLI performed very well in all the memory bandwidth tests, matching both the ASUS 680i SLI boards. As you can see the P5N-E SLI was also noticeably faster than the Gigabyte 965P-DS3P in all three tests. Although the gains achieved by the P5N-E SLI are small, this optimized memory performance might help the P5N-E SLI in real-world tests.
