Memory Performance
For our memory tests we use the built in memory benchmarks in AIDA64 Engineer and SiSoft Sandra. For more details on each of the benchmarks please see here and here respectively.
AIDA64 Engineer
Memory performance is where Gigabyte trail the competition a little. ASUS always exceed here but thankfully the synthetic memory results have minimal impact in real world applications.
SiSoft Sandra
Sisoft’s memory test reveals some fairly mediocre results for the Z97X Gaming 5, although the margin of difference between the best and worst board is insignificant.
Combined Latency Test
Latency is an area where Gigabyte Z97 boards seem to fare a little better than the competition, the Z97X Gaming 5 does well because of this.
