iGame Z370 Vulkan Motherboard Review

Synthetic Benchmarks

3DMark Firestrike

The Vulkan is off to a great start here, setting an impressive score of 22661, putting it in the mid-range for the Z370 platform, which is about where we expected it to perform. Of course, overclocking helped that score too, with the board putting out 23767, easily putting in on par with some of our highest scores to date.

Unigine Superposition 1080p Extreme

At stock, the Vulcan scored a solid 5523, and that score stayey the same while overclocked. Unigine is a GPU bound task, so it’s clearly having no issues with GPU throughput on the PCIe lanes here.

PCMark 10 Express

Scoring 6106 at stock is very impressive, and one of our highest scores to date. However, 6586 while overclocked is much more impressive, scoring third highest for our PCMark 10 benchmark.

Overclocked

WPrime 32M and 1024M

Again, another competitive time, hitting 117.678 at stock and 104.676 while overclocked. They’re not our fastest times for Z370, not our slowest, but they’re in the ballpark for the mid-range motherboards either way.

Overclocked

Cinebench R15

Again, we see the same pattern for Cinebench, not our fastest scores, but in the right area for a motherboard of this price range on Z370. It hit a decent score of 1557 at stock, and 1645 while overclocked.

Handbrake MP4 to MKV Conversion 4K

There’s pretty much no difference between another motherboard in this test, with the CPU being able to do its thing regardless. However, 59FPS stock and 61 overclocked is not too shabby for converting a 4K video file.
