Benchmarks
Sandra Dhrystone
In this test, we achieved a result of 732.25 GFLOPS using GIGABYTE’s automatic settings for the CPU. Using Intel’s default values we saw a significant loss in performance resulting in 705.1GFLOPS.
Sandra Whetstone
In this test, we see another large gap in performance with the GIGABYTE Z690 GAMING X DDR4 coming in at 385.61 GFLOPS using its own defaults. Using Intel defaults the performance drops to 300.86GFLOPS.
POV-Ray v3.7
In this test, we see virtually no difference between our test configurations. Each of them completed their task in 28 seconds and some change. That being said, the GIGABYTE Z690 GAMING X DDR4 using GIGABYTE default CPU power values did achieve the best completion time in this test.
V-Ray
In the V-Ray 5 benchmark, we saw scores of 18,952 and 18,889 from the Intel and GIGABYTE default values respectively. These results were both slightly higher than those of our two DDR5-based ASUS boards, the Z690 APEX and the Z690 EXTREME.
Cinebench R23 – Single Thread
In this test, the GIGABYTE Z690 GAMING X DDR4 achieved a result of 1995 points using its own defaults and 1990 points using Intel’s default power limits.
Cinebench R23 Multithread
In this test, we saw a score of 28553 points using Intel’s default power limits and 28483 points using GIGABYTE’s default power limits. Interestingly, this is the opposite of the single-thread test where the GIGABYTE values produced the better result.
