ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero Motherboard Review

Cyberpunk 2077

The relationships you forge and the choices you make will shape the story and the world around you. Legends are made here. What will yours be?

Available now on Steam.

Right, this is a ROG board, which means it should be good for gaming and well… it was! It scored the highest average and 1% lows in Cyberpunk by quite a significant margin!

Horizon Zero Dawn

Experience Aloy’s entire legendary quest to unravel the mysteries of a world ruled by deadly Machines. An outcast from her tribe, the young hunter fights to uncover her past, discover her destiny… and stop a catastrophic threat to the future.

Unleash devastating, tactical attacks against unique Machines and rival tribes as you explore an open world teeming with wildlife and danger. Horizon Zero Dawn is a multi-award-winning action role-playing game – and this Complete Edition for PC includes the huge expansion The Frozen Wilds, featuring new lands, skills, weapons and Machines.

Available now on Steam.

Not the fastest in Horizon, but still certainly pushing good numbers and on the higher end of the Z790 average.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered

Developed by Insomniac Games in collaboration with Marvel, and optimized for PC by Nixxes Software, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on PC introduces an experienced Peter Parker who’s fighting big crime and iconic villains in Marvel’s New York. At the same time, he’s struggling to balance his chaotic personal life and career while the fate of Marvel’s New York rests upon his shoulders.

Available now on Steam.

Fantastic 1% lows here of 127, and very close to the top for the average performance; a very fast motherboard indeed.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

The Microsoft Flight Simulator Game of the Year (GOTY) Edition celebrates all the positive feedback, reviews and awards garnered, but it is also a “Thank You” to our fans – new and old – that have made Microsoft Flight Simulator such a phenomenon. Best of all, the Microsoft Flight Simulator Game of the Year Edition will be available as a free update for existing players on PC.

Available now on Steam.

It completely fell flat on its face here though, absolutely have no idea why either, as we retested and got the same again. Very odd, but I can only think it would be a hiccup somewhere in the storage speeds.
