In this game, the Core i9-10900K based MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Carbon WiFi is the fastest option in each test.

When overclocked, the 10900K is a monster in this game. Its minimums are almost as high as the 3900X’s average. At stock speeds, the 10900K isn’t all that far behind the maximum FPS of the 3900X.

Hitman 2

In this game, the 10900K and the MSI motherboard achieve the best results once again.

At 4K, we can start to see GPU limitations coming into play more than we do at 1080P. Again, the MSI board does well here.
