ASUS P8-Z77V Pro Sandy Bridge Review
CineBench and POV-Ray

CineBench
It's becoming pretty clear that, at least if you're planning to stick with your current LGA1155 processor, the Z77 doesn't give you any particular reason to upgrade so far. CineBench R11.5 replicates the results we've seen so far from AIDA and Sandra.
POV Ray
Finally we see an improvement and it's POV-Ray that provides it. The P8 Z77V Pro with the i5-2500K at stock manages to outperform our result with a P67 motherboard. One thing of note is how well each individual core performs (the Per CPU result) when compared to the threaded processors that make up the rest of the graph. Over double the performance you're getting from each core of an i7-3960X. Indeed your extra 8 threads don't even double the i5-2500K result.

Great review, enjoyed it. So those with a P67 board could benefit with this as an upgrade? Are we getting an X79 review soon also?

QuoteNice looking board, i'm looking forward to the GD65 review (if there is one) because i'll be grabbing one so I can finally get rid of this H61 board i'm using and get back to doing some overclocking 
Also looking forward to seeing if these boards give any benefit over SB with an IB CPU, from what I have read Z77 boards are better for overclocking IB at lower voltages than P67 and Z68.Quote
