Synthetic Benchmarks
As pointed out before, these new motherboards are very similar to their X470 big brothers, it’s mostly changing the I/O and some add-on features. With that in mind, there are no surprises with the performance, which closely matches that of the more expensive motherboards. The X470’s do perform better in the more demanding CPU benchmarks, but that could again be due to their more robust power delivery and VRM cooling.
In 3DMark the ASUS RoG STRIX F GAming scored a solid 20707, and an equally impressive 5571 in Unigine. Clearly, GPU bound tasks are of no concern here and everything is going smoothly. The good numbers continue too, with a competitive 5234 in PCMark 10 Express. In WPrime and Cinebench, we great scores again with scores that really rubbed shoulders with X470; 98.4 seconds and 18002 multi-core performance. Even Handbrake was right on the money for this CPU, scoring 59.4 FPS.
