3DMark

3DMark is a multi-platform hardware benchmark designed to test varying resolutions and detail levels of 3D gaming performance. We run the Windows platform test and in particular the Time Spy benchmark, which is indicative of high-end 1440p PC Gaming.

The Division 2

We use the game’s built-in benchmark with quality set to Ultra, VSync disabled, and DX12 mode.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

We run the built-in benchmark using the DirectX 12 mode, anti-aliasing disabled, and the Highest quality preset.

There’s little to distinguish between the TRX40 Creator and its competitors in terms of gaming performance. You may see a couple of FPS difference on average when using Gigabyte’s TRX40 Aorus Master, but in reality, these results are all within a small performance grouping.

We would have no concern in using this ‘Creator’ orientated motherboard for gaming based on the performance numbers we observed.
