Cinebench R11.5
CINEBENCH is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more.
CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.
Straight away we can see some great performance from the Rampage, especially when we overclock to 4.6GHz. This give a nice boost in rendering and shows the overall CPU score is the highest result we’ve ever seen on this benchmark.
Super PI
Super PI is a computer program that calculates pi to a specified number of digits after the decimal point—up to a maximum of 32 million. It uses Gauss–Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of the program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 232 digits.
When we look at the performance in Super PI, we can see some really great results on the Rampage. The overclock gives a huge boost but socket 1155 Sandy Bridge still holds a key position when looking at how things compare.
