Synthetic Benchmarks
3DMark Firestrike
The MSI M Gaming Pro Carbon AC is no slouch, and scored a respectable 22122 at stock, putting it a little ahead of the full-size X399 model. Of course, overclocking to 4.6 GHz saw that score push a little higher to 22536 in 3DMark.

Unigine Superposition 1080p Extreme
Unigine is very much bound to the GPU, so there’s little deviation from motherboard to motherboard. Of course, that’s a good thing, as it means this motherboard isn’t throttling the PCIe throughput. The M scored 5529 at stock, at 5506 while overclocked.

PCMark 10 Express
Testing a little bit of everything the system has to offer, PCMark 10 scored well too, hitting 5855 at stock, and and a much more impressive 6242 once overclocked. Clearly, overclocking is the way to go with this motherboard.

WPrime 32M and 1024M
It’s in heavy number crunching workloads that X299 excels the most. This motherboard and CPU combination set on of our fastest WPrime scores to date, hitting 1024M in just over 71 seconds. If that wasn’t impressive enough, the time came down to just over 66 seconds once overclocked.

Handbrake MP4 to MKV Conversion 4K
Those 4K video rendering times get cut way down again here, with the motherboard setting our fastest ever time of 73.5 FPS, meaning it encodes at better than real time. 77.9 FPS while overclocked is going to be a huge time saver for any content creator.
