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.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Despite its age, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided remains a demanding title even for modern hardware. We use the game’s built-in benchmark with quality set to Ultra, MSAA 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.

Similarities in boost clock behaviour means that performance in game-related benchmarks is similar for all options. ASUS’ ROG STRIX TRX40-E Gaming does pull out a small victory over its Gigabyte competitor in 3DMark Time Spy. However, the ASUS board is a few FPS slower on average in our Shadow of the Tomb Raider testing.

Either way, you’ll get strong gaming performance from all solutions on offer.
