Test Setup & Benchmark Methodology
For our tests, we used a test rig which includes the GIGABYTE X570 AORUS Pro Wi-Fi motherboard, along with an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X at default clock speed of 3.6GHz (turbo boost 4.4GHz), as well as 32GB (2 x 16GB) of G.Skill Trident Z Royal RGB DDR4-3000 ram in dual channel mode. The NVIDIA drivers that were used were version 436.02. The latest BIOS available at the time of testing for the motherboard was also used (F9c). We will be testing the 3D performance using the latest benchmarking suites widely available to everyone.
