CDex Audio Conversion Wav to MP3

In our DVD encoding and PiFast tests, the A8N-SLI proves to be a little quicker than the K8N Neo2, but still lags behind the K8T890 powered Soltek. In our MP3 encode, the A8N-SLI brings up the rear as both of the other boards have the edge here.

Doom 3 Timedemo Demo1

If all you're interested is Doom 3, the A8N-SLI is the fastest of the three boards in this benchmark. Just to note, we managed to get 107fps using a 6800GT and one extra frame at 108fps with a SLI setup. While I doubt there is a conspiracy against ATI hardware in NVIDIA boards, but at least for Doom 3, an all NVIDIA setup is ideal.

The boards flipped flopped positions throughout the DirectX 9 tests, with no clear winner between them.
