ASUS TUF Sabertooth 990FX R3.0 Motherboard Review

ATTO Disk Benchmark

The ATTO disk benchmark is a Windows-based utility for testing storage performance of any storage drive or controller. We use the default benchmark setup.

M.2 PCIe Performance

For M.2 testing we use a Toshiba OCZ RD400 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD.

M.2 PCIe SSD performance is limited to a top speed of around 1.6GBps due to the use of four PCIe 2.0 lanes. This will be sufficient for older M.2 SSDs but it will pose a significant bottleneck for newer drives such as the Samsung Polaris-based models.

USB 3.1 Performance

We test USB 3.1 performance using a pair of Corsair Force LE 120GB SSDs in RAID 0 connected to an Icy Box RD2253-U31 2-bay USB 3.1 enclosure powered by an ASMedia ASM1352R controller.

USB 3.1 Gen 2 performance is decent but it's a long way off the pace set by Intel-based competitors. The use of ASMedia's ASM1143 chipset is a limitation but it's a fair trade-off given the PCIe 2.0 lanes available through AMD's platform. ASUS' software-based boost functionality delivered an impressive performance increase.

SATA 6Gbps Performance

For SATA 6Gbps testing we use a SK Hynix SE3010 960GB SSD.

SATA 6Gbps performance is without issues.

Audio

Rightmark Audio Analyser is a freeware benchmarking utility designed to objectively test the performance characteristics of audio solutions. We setup a line-in line-out loop and execute the record/playback test before generating the results report you see below. A sampling mode of 24-bit, 192 kHz was tested.

ASUS' audio solution deployed on the Sabertooth 990FX R3.0 is rated as ‘Very Good' by RMAA.

  1. Didn’t the unique selling point for the Sabretooth used to be that full body armour? I passed on my Z97 Sabretooth and [email protected] since launch and its still going strong. Definitely TUF.
