Results - Gaming Performances

For our gaming benchmarks, the ASUS B85-Pro Gamer trailed closely behind the ASRock Z97 Anniversary; however, for the PC game title Thief, the ASUS board somehow turned in its worst performance. We've included the results from a Core i7-4790K processor running on the ASRock board to give you an idea of the performance differences you would expect to see from an enthusiast CPU option.
