We will outline the performance increases that can be obtained from using the Asus Sabertooth X99 motherboard to overclock our system. Our overclocked processor frequency was 4.4GHz and memory speed was 2666MHz.
As a performance comparison, we have included the overclocked results from five other X99 motherboards. The maximum overclocked configuration achieved with each board was a 4.4GHz processor frequency and 2666MHz memory speed.
The Sabertooth X99 shows excellent performance through all of the benchmarks when overclocked. Bioshock Infinite's odd FPS-decreasing ‘bug' does not hit the board, either.
