The test configuration:
As we said in the introduction, we’ve updated all our graphics using the latest drivers from NVIDIA, AMD and, of course, INTEL. We also took the opportunity to slightly modify our test configuration and add new games to our protocol. So here we go again, with a new series of tests and graphics on this slightly modified configuration:
- Motherboard: ROG Maximus Z790 APEX Encore
- Processor : Intel Alder Lake i9-14900K delid
- Cooling system: EK-Nucleus AIO CR360 Direct Die D-RGB – 1700
- Memory: 48 GB Corsair Dominator Titanium 8000 MT/s CL38
- Graphics card: XFX Swift RX 9060 XT, PALIT RTX 5060 Ti Infinity 3 16 GB, NVIDIA RTX 5070 FE, MSI RTX 5070 Ti Ventus 3X OC, NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super FE, NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti FE, NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super FE, NVIDIA RTX 4070 FE, AMD RX 7900 GRE and AMD RX 7800 XT
- SSD: Western Digital Black SN750 2 TB + EKWB heat sink
- Power supply: Corsair AX1600i
- Operating system: Windows 11 64-bit 24H2 (26100.2894)
For this test, we used a fairly high-end configuration based on an i9-14900K delid processor and DDR5 memory. For our tests, we’re using either an MSI Oculux NXG253R or a ROG Strix XG27UCS on loan from ASUS France, depending on the definition tested.
Our test protocol :
All boards are tested at stock frequencies and without any optimization. For the various benchmarks, whether synthetic or gaming, we’ll opt for 1080p, 1440p and 2160p resolutions, depending on the card’s performance
Here, with this XFX Swift RX 9060 XT 16 GB model, there’s no doubt about the definition: it’ll be 1080p and 1440p in rasterization. We’ll be using FSR in Performance mode, with Frame Generation or Multi Frame Generation, as well as ray tracing where available. As you can see, we’re now running Windows 11, and we’ve activated the ” ReSize BAR ” in the BIOS, visible in GPU-Z. Now that you know everything about our test configuration, it’s time to get started!
