MSI Z87-G43 Gaming Motherboard Review

We used the ‘CPU’ test built into Cinebench R11.5 64-bit.

WinRAR’s built in benchmark and hardware test can help us outline the performance differentials between each motherboard.

A solid and consistent set of CPU-heavy results prove that MSI's low-cost Z87-G43 Gaming has no problem competing with the performance outputs of higher-priced alternatives.

WinRAR performance for the Z87-G43 Gaming was only 1.5% behind the speed output of ASRock's flagship Z87 motherboard – the Z87 Extreme11/ac. The six second deficit, compared to ASRock's chart-topping Z87 Killer, in our Handbrake conversion test represents a percentage difference of less than 1%.
