Test Setup
For our tests, we used a test rig which includes the BIOSTAR Racing Z270GT6 motherboard, along with an Intel Core i5-7600K (Kaby Lake) at default clock speed of 3.8GHz (turbo boost 4.2GHz), as well as 8GB of G.Skill Trident-Z DDR4-3200 ram in dual channel mode.
All tests were conducted at turbo clock speeds of 4.2GHz at a resolution of 1920×1080. High or Ultra settings enabled.

| Ram | 2 x 4GB G.Skill Trident-Z DDR4-3200 |
| XMP 2.0 profiles | Memory timings : 15-15-15-35 @1.2v |
| SSD/HDD | BIOSTAR G300 240GB SSD |

Note: For some reason, I was not able to run the G.Skill Trident-Z DDR4-3200 ram using XMP profiles. I had to manually set the memory settings in the BIOS to default, which meant the ram would run at DDR4-2133.
