Performance: Part 1
Performance has been tested on the Intel Skylake-X i9-7900X processor, 64GB ( 8x8GB ) Ballistix Tactical Tracer RGB DDR4-2666 memory kit, EVGA GTX1080Ti FE graphics card and a couple of SATA and M.2 PCI-E drives.
There were no issues with stability or compatibility during all tests.
7-Zip compression and decompression results are about as high as these on other ASRock X299 motherboards. Simply all keep the same high performance.
Cinebench R11.5 and R15 results are also not much different from what we could see in previous reviews of ASRock X299 motherboards.
PCMark10 is showing some improvements. Not much but results are a bit higher than expected.
In AIDA64 Cache & Memory benchmark, at DDR4-2666 and higher clocks, we can see high memory bandwidth what was expected. I mean, I would be really surprised to see worse results considering that other motherboards on the X299 chipset were performing as good or a bit worse.
Here is also result at DDR4-3200. Typical memory speed but most users, even these more demanding, don’t need much more.
On the next page of this review are more performance tests. Let’s go there …
