Gaming Performance
Whatever drives the IT industry is mostly games, games and more games. There are synthetic gaming benchmarks like Aquamark3 and 3DMark2001SE and there are benchmarks taken from real games such as Comanche4, Final Fantasy XI or Unreal Tournament 2003.

Aquamark3 CPU
Aquamark3 FPS
Comanche4
Final Fantasy XI
In all benchmarks, the ASUS K8V Deluxe wins by a hare's ass, however, keep in mind that these benchmarks were run with the highly capricious 1002 BIOS revision - the 1003 version scores marginally lower. What it comes down to is that the deciding factors here are primarily the BIOS revisions and the latency settings. In terms of hardware, there are no differences that would be relevant or even hold up over different operating conditions.
