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.

The strong boost clocks help ASUS register a chart-topping score in 3DMark Time Spy. 11919 points puts the X570-E Gaming 3% ahead of ASRock’s competing X570 Taichi.

Real world gaming performance in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is solid enough. ASRock and MSI are marginally faster while Gigabyte is fractionally slower. The differences are minor and therefore ASUS does well enough in this game.

The performance hierarchy for Shadow of the Tomb Raider is identical to that of Deus Ex. ASUS sits a frame or two behind ASRock and MSI, while the X570-E Gaming’s average performance is fractionally ahead of Gigabyte’s X570 Aorus Master.

Stepping back from the minor differences, there is no bad gaming solution out of these four motherboards.
