Bioshock Infinite
We used the Bioshock Infinite demanding ‘Ultra’ setting and a 1920×1080 resolution to push today’s gaming hardware. Our data was recorded using a section of the game, not the built-in benchmark.
Metro: Last Light
We used a 1920×1080 resolution and the Metro: Last Light built-in benchmark set to ‘High’ quality to offer an intense challenge for the gaming hardware while also making playable frame rates a possibility.
Tomb Raider
We used a 1920×1080 resolution and the Tomb Raider built-in benchmark set to ‘Ultimate’ quality.
MSI's X99S Gaming 7 offers solid gaming performance. The biggest frame rate difference between itself and the Asus X99 Deluxe is a minor 0.2 of a frame in Bioshock Infinite.
Graphics configurations and processor performance have greater effect on gaming frame rates than motherboards.
I think the best combination to satisfy all my needs specially getting out the juices of M.2 there is two option.
Option 1 (40 lanes) with Intel Core i7-5930K or Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Edition:
2 way SLI (E1_3.0x16+E3_3.0x16) + 1 M.2 (3.0×4) and 1 SSD on SATA Express (2.0×2)
or
Option 2 (28 Lanes) with Intel Core i7-5820K:
3 way SLI (E1_3.0x8+E3_3.0x8+E5_3.0x8) + 1 M.2 (3.0×4) and 1 SSD on SATA Express (2.0×2)
^_^ Great review Luke.
Hi there. I saw you review to late.
I have the same issue, can’t make the RAM to run on 3000MHZ with a 5820k.
Have you found any solution? Already contacted manufacturers(Kingston/MSI/Intel)…still no luck, so maybe you can help.
Thanks, and nice review btw.
