3DMark Time Spy

3DMark Performance Overview

3DMark Time Spy is indicative of high-end 1440p PC Gaming and we were surprised to see the ASRock couldn't quite keep up with our GigabyteX570 Aorus Elite. The difference is in the order of two percent and is fairly negligible but we expected the two systems would be locked in a dead heat.

Blender Performance Overview

In a pure CPU test the ASRock matches our Gigabyte X570 in exactly the way we expect to see. On Auto settings our Ryzen 9 3900X ran at a steady 4.05GHz and that is all we can ask of any motherboard.

Cinebench R15

Cinebench R15 Performance

That's right Cinebench R15 rather than R20 as Maxon recently released Cinebench R23 and we haven't yet had the chance to accumulate test results. For the record, in Auto mode the ASRock scored 18,559 marks in Cinebench R23 Multi Core and 1,363 in Cinebench R23 Single Core but we have no idea whether that is good, bad or indifferent. Returning to Cinebench R15 with which we are familiar the ASRock B550 Extreme4 did a fine job and powered the Ryzen 9 3900X nicely.
