Benchmarks (Part 2)
Speed Way
3DMark Speed Way is a graphics card benchmark for testing DirectX 12 Ultimate performance. To run this test, you must have a graphics card that supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and has 6GB or more of video memory.
Port Royal (Ray Tracing)
Port Royal is a graphics card benchmark for testing real-time ray tracing performance. To run this test, you must have a graphics card and drivers that support Microsoft DirectX Raytracing.
Time Spy
3DMark Time Spy is a new DirectX 12 benchmark test for Windows 10 gaming PCs. Time Spy is one of the first DirectX 12 apps to be built “the right way” from the ground up to fully realize the performance gains that the new API offers. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, which supports new API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is the ideal test for benchmarking the latest graphics cards.
Firestrike
Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark designed for today’s high-performance gaming PCs. It is our most ambitious and technical benchmark ever, featuring real-time graphics rendered with detail and complexity far beyond what is found in other benchmarks and games today.

I am building my next PC for video editing. It comprises:
– Mobo = Gigabyte Z790 AORUS PRO X (rev 1.0)
– CPU = Intel i9-14900K
– RAM = GSKILL TRIDENT Z5 DDR5-6400 32GBx2 CL32-39-39-102 1.60V
– SSD = 2 x WD SN850X 2TB NVME SSD (no heatsink) to be set up in RAID1 config. This is PCIE4.0 SSD.
– GPU = Gigabyte GV-N1650C-4DDV2 rev2 GDDR6. It is PCIE4.0 (Am reusing GPU from previous PC).
The GPU is to be installed in the PCIEX16 slot.
Given as the M2C_CPU connector, & PCIEX16 slot share bandwidth, to maximise speed, for RAID1 config, is it possible & better to install the 2 x WD SN850X SSD in:
a) M2C_CPU & M2A_CPU, or
b) M2Q_SB, & M2P_SB, or
c) M2A_CPU, & M2Q_SB?
Thanks
