ASRock X99 OC Formula Motherboard Review

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.

Gaming performance is very similar between each of the motherboards, irrelevant of the CPU and memory frequencies. ASRock's X99 OC Formula is one-tenth of a frame off top spot in the Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite tests. The board does, however, drop by a third of a frame in the Metro: Last Light benchmark.
