Using regular round cables

Using Ioss RD3XP Gladiator Cables

As you can see I did achieve better performance using the Gladiator cables. I ran those tests many times with each cable and those were very close to the averages. From reading around the net others have achieved scores 1500-7000 points higher so that makes one believe results will vary from system to system.

Obviously the main reason to get something like this is to achieve better performance and that was attained. Most people into computers always want the very best and as far as cables go, these are the best. My results may not tell the whole store here because they were not as large as a performance difference I was expecting, though scores were still better. The 20" cables were out of stock so I was sent the 28" ones, that "might" be why my difference wasn't as much as I had expected. In fact that was probably why. Bottom line is, are you willing to spend $20 on these when you can get regular round cables about half that price. For better performance, most will easily spend the extra 10 bux or so. These are very well made too, they don't have that "cheap feeling" that many of those round cables have.

Thanks goes out to the great guys over at holoMaXx for making this review possible. Direct link to IOSS products on holoMaXx. Check out more IOSS products and look around the very interesting holoMaXx site for more cool products! If you get these cables I strongly suggest to get the 20" ones.
