Asus P8Z77-V (Z77) Motherboard Review

Cinebench R11.5

CINEBENCH is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more. CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.

Starting of with Cinebench, the mainstream board may not be as high up the rankings as the other options on hand, but over clocking swiftly closes the performance gap down.

Super PI

Super PI is a computer program that calculates pi to a specified number of digits after the decimal point—up to a maximum of 32 million. It uses Gauss–Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of the program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 232 digits.

When calculating PI, it’s safe to say that there is not a great deal of variance in time and this time round the P8Z77-V is found nestled in the middle of the Z77 pack with a time of 9 minutes 22 seconds.
