MSI MAG B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR4 Motherboard Review

3DMark Timespy Extreme

Time Spy Extreme is a new 4K DirectX 12 benchmark test, available in 3DMark Advanced and Professional Editions. You don’t need a 4K monitor to run it, but you will need a GPU with at least 4 GB of dedicated memory. With its 4K Ultra HD rendering resolution, Time Spy Extreme is an ideal benchmark test for the latest high-end graphics cards. The CPU test has been redesigned to let processors with 8 or more cores perform to their full potential

3DMark is available on Steam here.

It’s not all that surprising to see this down at the bottom, as it is one of the most affordable motherboards we’ve tested. Keep in mind, it’s not bad performance, it’s just that we’ve really only tested a lot of very high-end Z790 motherboards recently. Plus, it’s on par with the other DDR4 motherboards, which are the bottom five on this chart.

PCMark 10 Express

PCMark 10 features a comprehensive set of tests that cover the wide variety of tasks performed in the modern workplace. With a range of performance tests, custom run options, Battery Life Profile, and new Storage benchmarks, PCMark 10 is the complete PC benchmark for the modern office.

Available now on Steam.

As for overall system performance, the Tomohawk actually scores quite strong, giving us our fourth-highest score, but really it’s about on par with the bulk of the competition.

Super PI 2.1 WP

Super PI is a single-threaded benchmark that calculates pi to a specific number of digits. It uses the Gauss-Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of a program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 232 digits

Available now on Super PI.

The DDR4 motherboards tend to be a bit slower for Super Pi and that’s still true here. However, at 4.56 seconds, it’s a competitive time that holds its own against the other DDR4 motherboards we’ve tested.

Cinebench R23

Cinebench is a real-world cross-platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s hardware capabilities. Improvements to Cinebench Release 23 reflect the overall advancements to CPU and rendering technology in recent years, providing a more accurate measurement of Cinema 4D’s ability to take advantage of multiple CPU cores and modern processor features available to the average user. Best of all: It’s free.

Available now on Maxon.

At 35740 points, the Cinebench score is pretty strong, obviously, there’s room for more from the CPU we’ve used, but given the more trimmed-down VRM configuration, it’s certainly impressive.

AIDA64

AIDA64 is a system information, diagnostics, and auditing application developed by FinalWire Ltd that runs on Windows, Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Tizen, Chrome OS and Sailfish OS operating systems. It displays detailed information on the components of a computer.

Available now on AIDA64.

Memory performance is really good, and while noticeably behind that of the DDR5 motherboards, obviously, it’s some of the better DDR4 performance we’ve had from these more affordable motherboards.
