How much does the motherboard have to do with the FPS?

[tfcmasta97]

Are there any websites that benchmark this statistic? would a high end video card in a low end mobo slow down performance?

A high end motherboard makes practically no difference directly, although it can contribute to better CPU overclocks.

The chipset can be important. That aside, it makes next to no difference.

Not sure exactly what you mean. If you take 2 motherboards that have the exact same specifications, chipsets, and hardware, there should not be any different. Maybe a frame or two (as some benchmarks suggest), but that's hardly anything and probably has nothing to do with the motherboard.

Very little difference

without it, you will get 0 FPS! get one!

While it generally makes no difference a better tuned and refined BIOS can net you a few more FPS (~4 or so). Generally no though.

i generally spend a lot on my motherboards, because things just seam to work so much better. Ive bought very cheap boards (40 bucks) and had usb not work, and constant freezes, etc.
