CPU & GPU Performance
Cinebench
In Cinebench R15, the motherboard outputs great scores isn’t too far behind the top-tier results. Once overclocked, the performance remains competitive and the motherboard defeats other products from rival vendors.
WPrime
Here we can see the motherboard fares really well during the WPrime calculation tasks and just edges the ASUS MAXIMUS IX HERO while using the CPU’s stock configuration. The overclocked result was pretty impressive despite the motherboard falling ever so slightly behind an ASUS premium model.
SiSoft Sandra
The motherboard begins to falter slightly and finishes behind the rest of the Z270 field. However, it’s important to put the results into perspective and the deficit to the top remains extremely slim.
3DMark
On a more positive note, the motherboard performs admirably during the 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark and attains really good scores.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Rather impressively, the Gigabyte Z270X-Ultra Gaming reigns supreme and demonstrates its gaming credentials when running Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on the Ultra preset.
Rise of the Tomb Raider
The motherboard’s performance is superb during the Rise of the Tomb Raider benchmark at 4.5GHz and 5.0GHz.
