Firestrike’s CPU-based physics just slightly favors the Crosshair VIII Extreme with a score of 29,563. This is physics score only and not graphics or overall.
3DMark – Time Spy
“3Dmark Time Spy is a new DirectX 12 benchmark test for Windows 10 gaming PCs. Time Spay is one of the first DirectX 12 apps to be built “the right way” from the ground up to fully realize the performance gains that the new API offers. With DirectX 12 engine, which supports new API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is the ideal test for benchmarking the latest graphics cards.
The Crosshair does just as well in Timespy.
