Performance

Here come the obtained benchmark results:

As you can see, Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI works just fine in the nominal mode. However, we cannot say the same about overclocked mode. The Command Rate setting issue does have its negative effect on the results, as you may see.

Note that we decided not to run any additional tests aimed at figuring out the top combination of memory frequency and timings when Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI loses its stability with 1T Command Rate setting. It is evident, that this mainboard yields to its competitors anyway.
