- Gigabyte accuses Asus of cheating!

I just discovered this interesting article from the informative lads over at the Inquirer. It seems Gigabyte's taken a swipe at ASUS for supposedly 'cheating' with their 925X/915X line of motherboards. 3D benchmarking scores are said to be substantially higher on the ASUS platforms due to a specific BIOS 'feature' named "Peg Link Mode" which in a hidden fashion overclocks the core and mem frequencies on ATI based PCI-E graphics cards. This obviously resulting in the superior benchmarking results that ASUS portray to be an advancement in motherboard design over their competitors. Sneaky buggers!

MAJOR MOBO MAKER Gigabyte has hit out at its competitor Asus accusing of it cheating on 925X/915X scores. The allegation is that Asus 925X/915P series moteherboards score much higher in some 3D graphics performance tests. In a media release, Gigabyte said "we have found that Asus has been doing some cheating".

Gigabyte claims that "out of curiosity" it tested the Asus PSAD2 Premium board and discovered a setting called Peg Link Mode. "This setting clandestinely oveclocks the frequency of memory and core engines of ATI based PCI Express Graphics," Gigabyte alleged.
