No BAD
How about some tests,3D Mark Vantage or 3D Mark 11 points?
I'm just curious about the performance

Fox excellent point.. I will run some benchmarks.. .2 disadvantages still to be taken care of... I have an old 8800 GTX GFX and no SSD or REVO. The REVO comming this weekend.. the GFX within couple weeks... probably and 6970... which is more then fast enough for me.. you can even go 3 x SLI on this board... The board is made for overcloaking..something I haven't done for 10 years... Back then it was simple... raise clock multiplier, FSB and in case if needed.. a bit of Vcore... Now when I look into this bios.. I have to learn much. The board came with an extra northbridge cooler (with fan), so you can replace it with the standard passive cooler. So many things that are there for finetuning. There is also ROG.. for remote overclocking etc... dual bios not for redundancy but for different profiles (performance profile or normal e.g.)....
I will run the benchmark with default settings, meaning.. installed memory, cpu and installed Win7. No tuning at all.

If you want to save some money,take 2 GB 6950 and read this:

Why not get a sandy bridge chip?

Probably because of the CPU has a LGA1366 socket.
Sandy Bridge has a 1155 / 1156 Socket if i'm correct...
