Performance: Part 1
All tests were performed using the i9-7900X processor and Ballistix Elite 4x16GB DDR4-3000 memory kit. For 3D tests has been used EVGA GTX1080Ti graphics card. Storage tests were performed on Patriot Hellfire 240GB NVMe SSD, Kingston HyperX Savage 240GB SATA SSD and Lexar DD512 Professional 512GB USB 3.0 drive.
First will be CPU and memory tests.
7-Zip shows us performance in compressing and decompressing. Test results are about the same as on the Extreme4 motherboard. All seems fine after multiple passes so we can move to another test.
PCMark 10 is performing various tests based on popular applications. We can say it’s showing results close to the real-life performance.
The Killer has really good results in first tests so app start-up, video conference, and web browsing. All other results are as high as on other motherboards. The overall score is a bit higher than that on the X299 Extreme4 motherboard.
Memory and cache performance is about as high as on other ASRock motherboards and it’s actually really good performance.
The same results in rendering are high, as high as expected.
AIDA64 Ray-Trace tests which are using the AVX-512 instructions were recently introduced so there are not many results to compare but we could check these tests in our last review. Results on the X299 Killer are about the same as on the X299 Extreme4. That we were also expecting but nothing is sure till we actually test it.
The last test on this page is AIDA64 AES benchmark. This one works better on AMD but our results are also good and comparable to similar specification on other motherboards.
On the next page, we will take a closer look at the storage and 3D tests.
