ASRock X79 Extreme9 Motherboard Review

Batman: Arkham City
Batman: Arkham City is a 2011 action-adventure video game developed by Rocksteady Studios. It is the sequel to the 2009 video game Batman: Arkham Asylum, based on the DC Comics superhero Batman. The game was released by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. The PC and Onlive version was released on November 22, 2011.
Batman: Arkham City uses the Unreal Engine 3 game engine with PhysX. For benchmark testing of Batman: Arkham City we disabled PhysX to keep it fair and ran the game in DirectX 11 mode with 8x MSAA enabled and all the image quality features cranked up. You can see all of the exact settings in the screen captures above.
Benchmark Results: Batman: Arkham City played very consistent across all of our boards today. The ASRock X79 Extreme9 averaged 63.7 frames per second at 1280×1020. This is right in the realm of what we have seen from our other Intel X79 motherboards. The performance at 1920×1080 was slightly higher than what we have previously seen. With an average of 44 frames per second, the ASRock X79 Extreme9 is .7 frames per second faster than the ECS X79R-AX which was our previous best contender at that resolution.
