3DMark

3DMark is a multi-platform hardware benchmark designed to test varying resolutions and detail levels of 3D gaming performance. We run the Windows platform test and in particular the Time Spy benchmark, which is indicative of high-end 1440p PC Gaming.

F1 2020

We run the game with quality set to Ultra High with TAA, VSync disabled, and DX12 mode.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

We use the DirectX 12 mode, anti-aliasing disabled, and the Highest quality preset.

Gaming performance shows a small win and a small loss for the ASUS Mini-ITX B550 offering. F1 2020 runs slightly faster on the ASUS board in our testing, while Shadow of the Tomb Raider showed minor preference for the Gigabyte X570 comparison.

Either way, the gaming performance on ASUS’ B550-I Gaming is solid and shows no cause for concern.
