ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F Gaming Motherboard Review

Gaming Performance

Ryzen has proven to be a big hit with gamers thanks to the many-core setup that it offers. It may not hit the higher FPS of Z370 and Intel chipsets, but it’s clearly competitive. What does surprise me is how close the results are to X470 yet again, if I didn’t know better, I would say this was an X470 motherboard… which is kind of is, but more on that shortly. It hit a neat 184.5 FPS in Rise of the Tomb Raider, and 108.1 in Deus Ex, literally identical to that of the Aorus Gaming 7 WiFi X470! If that wasn’t crazy enough, 129.8 in Ghost Recon puts it just 1 FPS behind X470 and it was literally identical to the Taichi X470 in Far Cry at 120 FPS. Think you need X470 just for gaming? Clearly not, B450 can keep up just fine.
