This is a big, fancy and expensive motherboard, so it’s not surprising to see it smash out some high FPS here, and 102FPS 1% lows are really fantastic.

Again, absolutely killer performance 149% 1 % lows and a staggering 204 FPS average, that’s over 30 FPS ahead of the “slowest” Z790 boards.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered

A little further down the list here, but again, the 1% and averages are pretty tight here and in line with the competition.

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.

The average was actually quite a bit lower than expected here, but the 1% lows are strong. Overall though, the gaming performance is pretty fantastic on this board.
