Gigabyte Designaire X399 Motherboard Review

Gaming Performance


Now we move onto one of my favourite sections which is the gaming performance. X399 isn’t seen as a gaming chipset and Threadripper isn’t seen as a gaming processor. However, for those who are doing content creation, game streaming, and other similar tasks, having the large CPU overhead of all those extra cores are beneficial to streaming software, overlays, and video rendering on the fly while gaming.

That being said, the Designaire motherboard gave some respectable scores, hitting an average of 90 frames a second in Deus Ex, 166 frames per second in Rise of the Tomb Raider, 101 in Far Cry primal and 180 frames per second in Ghost Recon Wildlands. These aren’t the highest scores ever seen, but they are easily on par with the other x399 motherboards we’ve tested over the last few months; it’s competitive and I’ve no concerns about its gaming performance.

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!
