3DMark Timespy Extreme
Time Spy Extreme is a new 4K DirectX 12 benchmark test, available in 3DMark Advanced and Professional Editions. You don’t need a 4K monitor to run it, but you will need a GPU with at least 4 GB of dedicated memory. With its 4K Ultra HD rendering resolution, Time Spy Extreme is an ideal benchmark test for the latest high-end graphics cards. The CPU test has been redesigned to let processors with 8 or more cores perform to their full potential
3DMark is available on Steam here.
Small it may be, but mighty it certainly is as it leads the pack for Timespy with a staggering 21541 points! Less is clearly more, not that this board is truly lacking.
PCMark 10 Express
PCMark 10 features a comprehensive set of tests that cover the wide variety of tasks performed in the modern workplace. With a range of performance tests, custom run options, Battery Life Profile, and new Storage benchmarks, PCMark 10 is the complete PC benchmark for the modern office.
Available now on Steam.
Even in Express, it still delivered a strong result, with 7211 putting it just behind the much larger Prime Z790-A, and even beating the Z790 EXTREME!
Super PI 2.1 WP
Super PI is a single-threaded benchmark that calculates pi to a specific number of digits. It uses the Gauss-Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of a program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 232 digits
Available now on Super PI.
The SuperPi test is a great benchmark for CPU and memory performance, and again, the completion time was exactly the same as the mighty ROG MAXIMUS Z790 EXTREME.
Cinebench R23
Cinebench is a real-world cross-platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s hardware capabilities. Improvements to Cinebench Release 23 reflect the overall advancements to CPU and rendering technology in recent years, providing a more accurate measurement of Cinema 4D’s ability to take advantage of multiple CPU cores and modern processor features available to the average user. Best of all: It’s free.
Available now on Maxon.
Both the multi-core and single-core performance are holding remarkably consistent throughout these benchmarks, with a competitive score of 2272 on the single core, which is again faster than the Z790 EXTREME, but then again, even its multi-core score outpaced the ASUS flagship, so yeah, this thing is fast!
AIDA64
AIDA64 is a system information, diagnostics, and auditing application developed by FinalWire Ltd that runs on Windows, Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Tizen, Chrome OS and Sailfish OS operating systems. It displays detailed information on the components of a computer.
Available now on AIDA64.
Even in our memory benchmarks, where I really just want to see it in the ballpark of what is expected of our memory kit, it’s actually still pushing a bit of a lead and scored our second highest, so to say I’m impressed is an understatement.
The latency is a little on the high side, but as you can see, that’s largely the norm for these newer DDR5 motherboards. Oh and it’s still faster than the Extreme again, ha, go figure.
