MSI MPG B760I EDGE WIFI DDR5 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.

This is a smaller motherboard than most we’ve tested, and it’s the B-series, not the Z-series, so it was unlikely to come out on top, but honestly, the score it did get is really impressive. It has a very competitive CPU score of 18428 and the overall system score is the best we’ve seen from a B-series board yet.

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, it was absolutely killing it, a score of 7339 was wholly not what I expected, but certainly not something I’m going to complain about either.

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.

This is where the B-Series motherboards run out of steam, the SuperPi test is extremely demanding and these smaller motherboards generally throttle their VRM if you torture them like this. Still, 5.03 seconds is actually not that bad, and only about half a second off the pace of the larger boards. Still, it’s unlikely you would be buying this motherboard to calculate Pi all day.

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.

It faired a lot better in Cinebench though, which is a good test for memory performance too, scoring a 2267 on single-core and a competitive 33834 in multi-core testing.

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.

The memory performance is right on the money here, and that is impressive given the smaller board design. However, it delivered very constant and very fast read, write and copy speeds throughout, with latency that was right on what we expected to see, so top marks all round here.
