Do the motherboard really affects Game performence??? If yes, how?

[Codex]

i wanna know the answear to this que as well.Hardware pros?

[M4XPyN3™]

motherboard affect kore,abar koreo na,like ddr1 ram and 2,pci slot or agp.amar motherboard sli kora.

[ЯV●shafiee007]

well..DDR1 or DDR2 hole to sheita ram effect kore, mobo-r kisu korar nai.... same goes to AGP and PCI

but yes...ekhon jodi 4X slot-e 8X AGP use kora hoe, tahole 4X er performance dibe.....and PCI slot-e PCI 2.0 GPU boshaile sheita 16X ei run korbe.....ei khetre bola jae yeah, it effects....and everybody knows that i guess..

[GiDDY_SOUL]

The answer is NO! And even if it does.. it give a boost of about 2-3%

[abir]

thats why i say dont buy high end mobos instead invest the money into gpu and cpu..

Motherboard does affects performance of ur pc... But u will not notice it normally without testing ur mbo...

Jodi high-end & low-end mbo te kono defiance nah thakto taile kao ar high-end mbo kinto nah....

There no difference between PCI-E 1.0 and PCI-E 2.0. The factor is the connecting speed. PCI-E 1.0 has a connecting speed of 2.0 GB/s and PCI-E 2.0 has a connecting speed of upto 4.00GB/s. If you do not use such a gfx card like 9800GX2 OCed (which has 2.9 GB/s connecting speed) you will not get any performence difference due to PCI-E 1.0 or 2.0. But yes if use GTX 260/GTX 280/GTX 295, you'ld better buy a 2.0 PCI-E supporting mobo.

PCI-Express Bandwidth:



* PCI-Express 2.0 has the double B/W of PCI-Express 1.0

It depends on many factors, and also what processors we are talking about

For AMD Athlon 64/ Phenom and Intel Core i7, since their memory controller is in the CPU, the motherboard has very little work. So what would differ is the PWM section, a better board layout, DDR2 or DDR3, and what northbridge and southbridge is being used. Overall a difference of 2-3% for the northbridge used, and 2-3% for using DDR2 or DDR3, and they might differ in CPU overclocking (the better ones might clock, say, 200-300mhz more) and their HTT/QPI (AMD/Intel) migh clock an additional 20% which doesnt really affect performance. Better PWN also leads to the RAM being able to run at lower latencies and overclocking more. so overall, a difference of 5% at stock, but that can extend to 10% when overclocking is taken into account

However for Intel Core2(All variants) the memory controller is on the motherboard (northbridge)...now here the performance may vary, again, due to a better PWM section, better layout, DDR2/DDR3 configurations, and the northbridge used (P35, P45, G33 etc)...now the northbridge itself would account for, at most, 5% performance difference (from the weakest to the strongest, namely G31 to X48), and DDR2 to DDR3 would account for 2-4% difference. However when overclocking, there is a very important factor which may affect up to a theoretical 6% performance, and thats the latency between the memory controler and the northbridge, also known as the tRD latency(this is usually overlooked even though its one of the most important factors of Core2 overclocking).

Now due to a stronger northbridge, and better PWM section coupled with better layout, the stronger motherboards often can set the tRD much lower than the weaker motherboards. So along with a tighter tRD, faster fsb, and higher CPU overclock(200-400mhz isnt uncommon) going from a weak to a very strong motherboard can yield more than a 12% performance difference if overclocking is taken into account, but at stock it cant exceed 4-8%

Taar mane OC na korle G31 ar X48 er modhhe tamon kono difference nai?

There you go

[йЦммєя³¹]

since mobos doesn't have significant effect on gaming
which mobo(s) can be recommended for gaming?

[Codex]

At what price range?I can recommend a rampage extreme but no one wants that much high end stuff in BD.You have to mention your price range

[йЦммєя³¹]

my price range would be below 11000
not that rich, could be hard for u to recommend

[minitt]

Most high end mobos are precisely built for OC. Greater tolerance and stability. In most cases they are equipped with extra

mosfets to spilt the load (phase count) and low ripple caps for smooth linear voltage.

So for avg ppl who are not into OCing should choose somthing that has required features and slot like ram slots,pci

slot .etc

And its safe enuff to say that motherboard alone wont caz any performance difference in gaming. that means u can ignore

the so called 2-3% difference.
