Motherboards/Intel S1151 by leeghoofd @ 2017-05-19

The AORUS brand name is a premium gaming brand stemmed from inside the Gigabyte company; look at it in the same way ASUS had started off with the Republic of Gamers brand. Made by Gamers for Gamers would be the easiest way of explaining things. The AORUS brand covers a full spectrum of gaming products ranging from GeForce GTX series gaming VR ready laptops, gaming motherboards and graphics cards, mechanical gaming keyboards to gaming mice, all to offer you the gamer the best gaming experience ever. Today we have a look at one of their high end motherboards, the AORUS GA-Z270X-Gaming 7 motherboard.

3D Benchmarks

Time to verify if the Gaming 7 graphics performance is up on the same level as the competitor's boards, Testing 3D synthetic or in a few game benchmarks.

In Futuremark's Firestrike Extreme we spot the same behaviour as in the 2D test suite. The Z270 boards are ahead of the lower specced boards in the PhysX test, this due to the higher used memory divider, Nevertheless the Radeon R290X is becoming a bottleneck for the overall's system performance as the total score hardly differs from setup to setup. Anyway a gamer will crank up the detail level to the maximum, either by auto configuration of the game or by manual detail tuning. Meaning the graphics card will mostly will be the bottleneck when running power hungry games, this even on a modern game PC.

Take note that all games listed are tested by using the integrated benchmark, no substantial difference. Only GTA V is 2 FPS faster on the Z270 platform than on the lower range models.
