Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 7 Motherboard Review

Cinebench

We used the ‘CPU’ test built into Cinebench R15 .

7-Zip

We manually archive a 1.23GB MP4 game recording to test the performance in 7-Zip.

Handbrake Conversion

We measured the average frame rate achieved for a task of converting a 1.23GB 1080P game recording using the High Profile setting and MP4 container.

Performance in CPU-intensive operations is without concern. Gigabyte's board offers roughly the same level of performance as other functional Z170 boards when testing errors are discounted.
