PassMark PerformanceTest 7.0 takes on quite a different approach towards PC benchmarking, which is the reason why this test has made its way onto the "must use" list for motherboards. At this stage in the game, it almost feels like a battle between two Gigabyte motherboards and two ASUS motherboards. From our results above, we can see that the two Gigabyte motherboards seem to have better scores when it comes to the CPU benchmark. However, these results, like every other previous benchmark results, are still considered to be a statistical tie, which is to be expected.
