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.

F1 2020

We run the game with quality set to Ultra High with TAA, VSync disabled, and DX12 mode.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

We use the DirectX 12 mode, anti-aliasing disabled, and the Highest quality preset.

Performance between all of the boards is very close in 3DMark Time Spy, so we have no initial reason for any concerns with gaming. The Z590-E Gaming WiFi did consistently score a minor victory in F1 2020 but this is realistically irrelevant especially at 200+ FPS. And the extra couple of FPS from the Z590-E in Shadow of the Tomb Raider is measurable but realistically irrelevant once again.
