Asus X99-A Motherboard Review

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' X99-A shows positive performance in the system-related 3DMark and Sandra benchmarks. A 3DMark physics score of 14,490 puts the X99-A firmly at the top of our performance chart. The same chart-leading performance is carried through to Sandra's processor arithmetic test.

Memory bandwidth of the X99-A is marginally lower than the numbers displayed by MSI's similarly-priced X99S MPower.
