Performance

For performance testing, I’ve mentioned it a lot in the past but it’s always good to post up a reminder. The performance between different motherboards really isn’t big unless you have one company overclocking or underclocking the CPU. So most of the testing below is just to keep everyone on the up and up and make sure there aren’t any issues. First though, here are our CPUz readouts so that everyone can see our exact configuration and BIOS revision.

Sadly I had driver issues prior to the Intel launch that caused some issues with my testing time frame. I actually had two more Z370 boards I wanted to get done. I finished their testing but didn’t get published. Anyhow the reason for that push is because the Z370 boards tested below were all prior to the creator update and the Intel Spectre patches. So as you can see there are a few differences in performance between these results that aren’t board related. I can confirm though that the B360 Gaming Plus did perform on par with the Z370 boards that I just finished tested on the same patches. The main differences can be found in the three CPU dependent tests 3DMarkss physics score, PCMark, and Passmark Performance Test 9. Funny enough Ghost Recon: Wildlands performance is way up as was Deus Ex. As for network performance, the Intel I219 did well on our new network, I don’t think you are going to have any trouble moving files around the network on this board.
