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
Asus' Sabertooth X99 shows solid performance in the opening set of benchmarks. 3DMark has the board's Physics score second out of the 3.5GHz-clocked systems, while the Sandra Memory Bandwidth results make for positive reading.
Processor arithmetic values put the Sabertooth X99 towards the bottom of our list. That said, the percentage difference between first and last place is negligible in the real world.
