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.

3DMark Time Spy shows a small lead for the MSI MEG X570 ACE in the CPU score. An extra few points here and there may be worthwhile when chasing records… or trying to one-up your friends.

The X570 ACE also shows strong performance in Deux Ex, managing to beat out the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master by 1 FPS on average and 2 FPS on the minimum. Shadow of the Tomb Raider registers another victory for the MSI board, this time with a 4 FPS advantage on average and 3 FPS on the minimum.

While these gaming performance victories are undeniably small, they were consistent and repeatable for the MSI MEG X570 ACE in our testing.
