ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer Motherboard Review

Luke Hill May 20, 2014 Featured Announcement, Motherboard

3DMark

We used 3DMark‘s ‘Fire Strike’ benchmark which is designed to be used on gaming PCs. We opted for the Normal setting, NOT the Extreme mode.

Sandra Processor Arithmetic

Sandra Memory Bandwidth

Performance of ASRock's Z97X Killer varies from test to test. The CPU arithmetic score is high, while 3DMark and memory bandwidth scores sit ASRock's board at the bottom of the pile.

We looked into the reasoning and noticed that ASRock's board applies slacker secondary timings for our Corsair memory kit's XMP profile than many of the competing boards do. The increased latency could be affecting the performance of ASRock's board in memory-intensive benchmarks.

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition announced for all systems (including Switch 2)

Just under 10 years ago, Fallout 4 officially released to the world. While the game is far from perfect, it resonated with millions thanks to its sandbox-like design and focus on exploration among other ancillary additions (such as the settlement mechanic and base building). As they have done with many of their previous games, Bethesda has now officially announced Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition – bundling the base game alongside its DLC and hundreds of user-created mods.
