Cinebench R11.5 is the newest revision of the popular benchmark from Maxon. The test scenario uses all of your system’s processing power to render a photorealistic 3D scene (from the viral “No Keyframes” animation by AixSponza). This scene makes use of various different algorithms to stress all available processor cores.
In fact, CINEBENCH can measure systems with up to 64 processor threads. The test scene contains approximately 2,000 objects containing more than 300,000 total polygons and uses sharp and blurred reflections, area lights and shadows, procedural shaders, antialiasing, and much more. The result is given in points (pts). The higher the number, the faster your processor.
In this test we can see the benefits of enabling Hyper Threading on the i7-3770K as we recorded greater than four times scaling when allowing the application to utilise multiple threads. The more expensive ASRock Extreme motherboard has the slight performance edge in Cinebench R11.5.
that gigabyte board is hard to beat on price. they can’t be making more than £10 from each sale.
Great looking board for the price, but I still cant believe the gigabyte price point.
Not bad, but id like two 16x slots for futureproofing.
I have bought two of these boards this week, as part of bundles from my local component shop in Coventry, and I have to say they are very solid. yeah I get what your saying about the lack of 2 x 16 Crossfire, but as I will never use it, the board is solid. Currently running mine with a 3570k and an NH-D14 at 4.5Ghz. Easy to set up as long as the 1st thing you do is update the Bios.
