Overall System Performance and Gaming

Here is where we dig out the FutureMark tests.

For overall system performance we use PCMark Vantage. This is run in both x86 and x64 mode to give the best indication of performance.

The T3eH9 gives a very good showing here; this could be due to the excellent SATA controller on the board as many of the tests in the PCMark Suite rely on fast HDD speeds.

3DMark Vantage

For synthetic gaming tests we used the industry standard and overlockers bragging tool 3DMark Vantage. This is a test that strives to mimic the impact modern games have on a system. FutureMark went a long way to change from the early days of graphics driven tests to a broader approach including physics, AI, and more advanced graphics simulations.

3DMark Vantage uses the DX10 API in addition to having support for PhysX. Due to the PhysX support and our use of an NVIDIA GPU we run with PhysX enabled and disabled to give you the best indication of real system performance. For testing we use the Performance test run.

Under our synthetic gaming tests the DFI T3eH9 does well, but does not manage to outperform the ASRock P55 we put it up against.

CINEBENCH is a synthetic rendering tool developed by Maxon. Maxon is the same company that developed Cinema4D another industry leading 3D Animation application. Cinebench R10 tests your systems ability to render across a single and multiple CPU cores. It also tests your systems ability to process OpenGL information.

CINEBENCH R10 gives us results similar to HyperPi; we see the T3eH9 underperform at stock speeds, but manage to jump into the lead once we push the CPU.
