ECS PN1 SLI2 Extreme nForce 590SLI Motherboard Review - PCSTATS
The motherboard is based on the nVIDIA nForce 590 SLI Intel Edition chipsets (nForce 590 SLI SPP and nForce 590 SLI MCP), so it supports a whole host of multi-videocard gaming arrangements.

Business Winstone 2004 runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to complete these activities to produce its performance scores.

Content Creation Winstone 2004 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running top, Windows-based, 32-bit, content creation applications in Windows XP.

We see the same trend here in the Office Productivity tests, the ECS PN1 SLI2 Extreme performs on par with the Intel chipset based motherboards. The bonus is that we have the SLI option here, and that makes a decent system workstation into a potential gaming platform.

Processor results for the ECS PN1 SLI2 Extreme are quite nice, although we're a bit surprised that memory bandwidth is a little under the water. Let's see how this affects the other benchmarks.
