3DMark
3DMark is a multi-platform hardware benchmark designed to test varying resolutions and detail levels of 3D gaming performance. We run the Time Spy benchmark, which is indicative of high-end 1440p PC Gaming with the DX12 API.
Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation
Metro: Last Light Redux
Despite its age, Metro: Last Light Redux remains a punishing title for modern computer hardware. We use the game's built-in benchmark with quality set to Very High, SSAA enabled, AF 16X, and High tessellation.
You should not notice any gaming performance drops using Gigabyte's AB350-Gaming 3.
Thank You for the review very well done and lots of useful information here. I have to build systems for my customer a lot and reviews like this are really helpful for me. If I was to choose between these three boards I would not have a problem using any of them in a build I put my store name on. But if it came right down to it I probably would choose the Gigabyte board just because with those extra features it puts more boxes to check off on the spec sheet.
Luke, I love that your reviews go into details on fabrication. It’s info I’ve not found anywhere else. The AB350-Gaming 3 features everything I’m after. I don’t need multiple graphics cards or support for more storage, but I’d be willing to pay a little more for a slight step up which doesn’t compromise on power and thermal considerations. Without Kitguru reviews of all the boards, I’m not sure where to look. Does the AX370-Gaming K3 fit the bill? What about the MSI B350 Gaming Pro Carbon? Any guidance would be much appreciated.
How is the on board DVI and HDMI Display enabled on the AB350 MoBo? I’ve installed a older ASUS GTX 650 Graphics card and I can only pull up displays that are connected to it.. I tried removing the GTX… and used the onboard DVI and HDMI… nothing!!
these don’t have onboard graphics so those port on the mboard are useless you need a separate graphics card.
I have heard they was put their because these boards will be supported upto 2020 so newer cpu could offer that function not sure if this is true we will see
Yea! Thanks Mon Berg!! After a lot of wasted time I realize that! Deceptive advertising.. You have to look at the fine print (*) I now need to buy another graphics card to run 3 displays… 3 contiguous displays.. Does this sound like a proposition?
