I would like to thank ASRock for providing the review sample. This is a snippet from what ASRock has to say about themselves on their website:

ASRock Inc. is established in 2002, specialized in the field of motherboards. ASRock strives to build up its own brand. With the 3C design concept, “Creativity, Consideration, Cost-effectiveness”, the company explores the limit of motherboards manufacturing while paying attention on the eco issue at the same time, developing products with the consideration of eco-friendly concept.

 

 

ASRock has been growing fast and become world third largest motherboard brand with headquarter in Taipei, Taiwan and branches in Europe and the USA. The young and vibrant company targets from mainstream to enthusiast MB segments for different kinds of users, owning reputation around the world market with its reliability and proficiency.

 

Killer DoubleShot Pro

ASRock informed us that they’ve included a new special feature by Killer called ‘Double Shot Pro’. It combines the speed of both the onboard Killer 2.5G LAN connection (2.5 Gbps) as well as the Killer Wifi 6E (2.4 Gbps), giving you a theoretical maximum output speed of 4.9 Gbps. You can check out the full how-to article here.

 

Killer DoubleShot Pro allows the use of both the Killer Wireless and Killer Ethernet interfaces work at the same time which will give the end user max throughput as high as 4.9 Gbps, it automatically utilizes the fastest network connection for high priority traffic, this ensures the highest priority traffic will always be put on the fastest and most reliable link.

 

We’ll be testing the ASRock Z590 PG Velocita Motherboard along with an Intel Core i9-11900K, 16GB DDR4-4400 ram, Gigabyte Aorus PCIE Gen4 SSD, and a GeForce RTX 2080. It’ll be interesting to see how well this system will perform, against other Z590 motherboards we’ve tested in the past. I’m expecting some decent scores in all of our benchmarks.

OK, let’s not waste anymore time, and start by checking out the specifications and features of the ASRock Z590 PG Velocita Motherboard on our next page.
