Gigabyte Z77-D3H (Z77) Motherboard Review

PCMark 7

PCMark 7 provides a set of 7 suites for measuring different aspects of PC performance with a high degree of accuracy. Overall system performance is measured by the PCMark Suite. The Lightweight Suite measures the capabilities of entry level systems and mobility platforms unable to run the full PCMark suite. Common use performance is measured by the Entertainment, Creativity and Productivity scenario suites. Component performance is measured by the Computation and Storage hardware suites. The Storage suite is ideal for testing SSDs and external hard drives in addition to the system drive.

Taking a look at the overall system performance, we can see that once again, the Z77-D3H is battling with the extreme boards, and is able to clench on in second place, straight out of the box with stock speeds. When overclocked, we see a nice boost in performance, allowing the score to peak just above 6000 points.
