Review-Z68 Chipset (ASUS P8Z68-V Pro): The Best Match for Your Sandy Bridge!

Conclusions

From the benchmarks, it’s clear that Z68 stands out among the rest of the Cougar Point chipsets. Its overclocking potential should prove to be appealing to users of the P67 and H67 alike, as Z68 is the only chipset to offer full support for Sandy Bridge’s entire features, including unlocked multiplier and on-CPU graphics core utilization. Z68 combines the most important elements of H67 and P67! You no longer have to choose between overclockability and availability of integrated graphics.
Virtu software helps enhance the appeal by providing access to both the integrated graphics core and dedicated graphics card, enabling the remarkable video encoding acceleration of the former while reserving the extra horsepower of the latter for more demanding scenarios such as gaming. Additionally, Z68 comes with the new SSD Caching feature that allows users to enhance their system’s performance without having to resort to SSD for the main storage. This is, without doubt, the best platform for your Sandy Bridge system!
