Testing – Overall System Testing
We are going to start our overall system testing with Futuremark’s latest release, PCMark 8. This includes many different tests, but we will be running the Home, Work and Creative benchmarks. There were all run with the “Accelerated” option.
We also went ahead and run both the older PCMark 7 and PCMark Vantage benchmarks as well.
Would you prefer this board to the Gigabyte Sniper M5? I’ve bought two of the gigabyte boards in the last week. First DOA board I’ve ever had and I got two in a row so I think I’ll try this Asus board next instead.
Maybe I’m just old, but maybe not…is it not better to have 1 really good GPU, compared to having 2 (or more) mediocre GPU’s?
I know that ROG is a great standard of components; but does a typical gamer really need to run more than 1 GPU (if it’s of a high-end variety)…unless he/ she is running 4K graphics?
You are correct, if you are gaming in 1080p 1 GPU is all you are going to need. You will not see a huge difference in performance even if you add another GPU, this is only seen in 4K and multi-display gaming.
