Performance – part 1
All tests were performed on the ASRock X299 Creator motherboard, i9 7900X processor, EVGA GTX1080Ti graphics card, 32GB Ballistix Elite DDR4-4000 CL18 memory kit and Samsung 970 EVO SSD on which is installed Windows 10 Pro x64 OS with the latest updates.
Everything else will be mentioned during the tests.
Memory performance
The motherboard has no problem handling memory up to DDR4-4100 where we found a limit for our processor’s IMC. In the specification, we can see that the X299 Creator supports even higher memory frequency. In the end, Ballistix Elite DDR4-4000 memory kit is able to run at XMP settings but the best performance for work is at DDR4-3600 CL16.
The motherboard was also tested with Samsung 8GB and Micron 16GB modules. There were no issues during tests and every memory kit could run at XMP settings.
Processor performance and mixed load tests
The performance of our processor is similar to what we could see on previous ASRock X299 motherboards. The platform is mature enough to run stable and without any issues. Below are some of our results on the ASRock X299 Creator.
No problems with compression and decompression tests under high load and used nearly full memory capacity.
Also, no problems with rendering.
As we can see in the Cinebench (above) and the PCMark benchmark series (below), the performance of our test platform is pretty good. In these tests performance is +/- 1% compared to the ASRock X299 motherboards reviewed some time ago.
PCMark 8 and PCMark 10
Let’s take a look at additional PCMark 8 results. All of them are high and show no issues with performance.
