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.
As with the previous Futuremark benchmarks, 3DMark proves that the cheaper Asus P8Z77-V LK can easily match the performance of the company's higher-priced P8Z77-V.
Excellent price, asus are rock solid too
I have this board and it has been great for me, i have my 3770k sitting at 4.7ghz with a D14 cooler. brilliant for the prce.
It is quite an ugly looking motherboard with a lack of heatsinks, but it is very good. I have read a few reviews on it now and it seems to get good reviews everywhere.
Needs more sata ports, but apart from that, id have one myself.
Great review. I plan to get this specific unit for an upcoming build. Great value.
