Gigabyte B760M Aorus Elite AX Motherboard Review

3DMark Timespy Extreme

Time Spy Extreme is a new 4K DirectX 12 benchmark test, available in 3DMark Advanced and Professional Editions. You don’t need a 4K monitor to run it, but you will need a GPU with at least 4 GB of dedicated memory. With its 4K Ultra HD rendering resolution, Time Spy Extreme is an ideal benchmark test for the latest high-end graphics cards. The CPU test has been redesigned to let processors with 8 or more cores perform to their full potential

3DMark is available on Steam here.

This is one of the more affordable boards, so expecting it to be high up would be silly, but still, it’s doing well here, beating the performance of a few Z790 motherboards, but overall, within the expected ballpark for performance.

PCMark 10 Express

PCMark 10 features a comprehensive set of tests that cover the wide variety of tasks performed in the modern workplace. With a range of performance tests, custom run options, Battery Life Profile, and new Storage benchmarks, PCMark 10 is the complete PC benchmark for the modern office.

Available now on Steam.

Again, fairly similar results here, and not far off the Z790 Extreme, if you can believe it.

Super PI 2.1 WP

Super PI is a single-threaded benchmark that calculates pi to a specific number of digits. It uses the Gauss-Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of a program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 232 digits

Available now on Super PI.

This is where the affordability shows, with Super Pi having a time that’s showing signs of throttling on extended or extreme CPU loads.

Cinebench R23

Cinebench is a real-world cross-platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s hardware capabilities. Improvements to Cinebench Release 23 reflect the overall advancements to CPU and rendering technology in recent years, providing a more accurate measurement of Cinema 4D’s ability to take advantage of multiple CPU cores and modern processor features available to the average user. Best of all: It’s free.

Available now on Maxon.

Broadly the same here too with the score being a little below the average. However, these are still decent results overall given this motherboard isn’t really build to be put in a rendering workstation.

AIDA64

AIDA64 is a system information, diagnostics, and auditing application developed by FinalWire Ltd that runs on Windows, Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Tizen, Chrome OS and Sailfish OS operating systems. It displays detailed information on the components of a computer.

Available now on AIDA64.

Memory performance is strange on this one, as we usually have performance that matches the faster boards, or the slower ones, but this motherboard sits right in the middle of the two classes, which is interesting as being mATX it’s the middle size board too. Latency was pretty poor, not sure what’s going on there, but that’s a clear indication of what the SuperPi time sucked, and likely something that can be improved with BIOS updates.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
