I’m not expecting this motherboard to lead the market with gaming performance, but it still has to be reasonably competitive. At 116 FPS and 83% lows, it’s holding its own and outpaces the STRIX and Gaming X DDR4 motherboards by a small margin.
Horizon Zero Dawn

Available now on Steam.
Not a great result here, but again, on par, and the 1% lows are reasonable too. However, it’s amazing to see just how much VRM and RAM effect this game.
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
Developed by Insomniac Games in collaboration with Marvel, and optimized for PC by Nixxes Software, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on PC introduces an experienced Peter Parker who’s fighting big crime and iconic villains in Marvel’s New York. At the same time, he’s struggling to balance his chaotic personal life and career while the fate of Marvel’s New York rests upon his shoulders.
Available now on Steam.
Spider-Man seems to be impacted by memory more than most, with the DDR4 motherboards, stuck right at the bottom of the chart, and this motherboard is lower than most. A shame, but while I doubt anyone will complain about 152 FPS while gaming, it’s clear there’s still performance to be had.
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.
Again another memory-bound game, but overall, at 64FPS 1% lows, the performance is pretty stable. Again though, the most affordable motherboard is the lowest, that’s not a bad thing, it’s really on par with our expectations.
