3DMark is Futuremark's latest benchmark. It can be used to benchmark and compare everything from mobile devices, such as smart phones, tablets and laptops, to high-end gaming systems. The benchmark is available for Windows, Windows RT Android and iOS.
With 3 separate tests, each of which is intended to be used alongside a specific classification of hardware, 3DMark is a very versatile benchmark. Ice Storm is intended to be used with mobile devices, Cloud Gate is good for use with laptops and home PCs, and Fire Strike can be used to push the performance of gaming PCs.
We used the ‘Fire Strike' benchmark which is designed to be used on gaming PCs. We opted for the Normal setting, NOT the Extreme mode.
The ASRock Z87 Extreme9/ac motherboard is able to match the performance of MSI's Z87 XPower in the 3DMark benchmark.
excellent review Luke. ive been looking at a few of their boards recently and they seem to be improving their bioses in the last year. good looking board too.

I ‘ve got one of these bad boys and the first impression that falls into my mind is this:
BADASS…!!! It worths every Euro i paid…
Excellent review as always…
Greetings from Greece…!!!
Nice review but you miss one important point about the exclusive DP-In (the gamer alternative to Virtu MVP).
With all these trends in modern technology and robotics,
it is starting to be a probability that many of us might soon become enslaved by it most especially if you recognize that there’s nothing
we all do at this time that does not involve modern technology
Hi Luke Hill. Need to see the main.jpg picture of the Z87 Extreme9/ac motherboard’s UEFI BIOS main page. I’m wondering which bios version is that. I’ve tried all versions found in the net and none can get me to set PCI’s other than PCI2 to gen1. Thanks.
