Test Setup

We are using an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D for testing. We are using the motherboard’s current default BIOS settings on the latest release BIOS. We have enabled PCI-Express Resizable BAR in the motherboard BIOS. We have enabled EXPO I in the BIOS for the memory. We are using a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro with the latest Windows Updates, including the 25H2 update. We have the latest drivers installed, including the latest chipset drivers. We are using the “Balanced” power profile in Windows Settings, Core Isolation/Memory Integrity (VBS) is enabled.
We are using the latest NVIDIA driver available at the time of testing, which is GeForce 581.80. All data was tested and collected in November of 2025 freshly.
