ASUS Republic Of Gamers Maximus VI Hero Intel Z87 Motherboard Review

SiSoftware Sandra 2013 SP1a

The Sisoftware Sandra 2012 SP3 benchmark utility just came out a few weeks ago and we have started to include it in our benchmarking. Sandra 2012 comes with support for Virtualisation (Virtual PC/Server, Hyper-V, VMware) and GPGPU (OpenCL, DirectX 11 DirectCompute), but today we will be using the program to look at memory and CPU performance!

Benchmark Results: The ASUS ROG Maximus VI Hero was able to out perform the GIGABYTE Z87X-UD3H by .35GB/s, not a world of difference and not something that will be seen in day to day usage.
