3DMark
We used 3DMark‘s ‘Fire Strike Ultra’ benchmark which is designed to be used on high-resolution gaming PCs.
Grand Theft Auto V
We apply very near maximum settings in Grand Theft Auto V and a 1920×1080 resolution to push today’s hardware. Our data was recorded using the built-in benchmark.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
We used a 1920×1080 resolution and the Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor built-in benchmark set to ‘Ultra’ quality.
Solid gaming performance is shown by MSI's offering. There is little to distinguish between the X99-Deluxe and X99A SLI Plus in terms of gaming performance.
Wow, what a board! I’ve been eyeing this MSI motherboard for ages. It looks stunning and so cheap too. I think I’ll have to buy this come Black Friday!
I have S version of that board, the only difference is that this one has additional USB 3.1 controller. This board gave me a lot of problems to boot with G.Skill 8GB RAM sticks. It booted only with one stick and what was more frustrating it could boot only from the second BIOS. After I did BIOS update all started booting fine with all slots occupied.
