Cinebench R11.5 &Â X264HD
Cinebench R11.5
CINEBENCH is a real-world cross-platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Iron Man 3, Oblivion, Life of Pi or Prometheus and many more.
The Asus TUF Sabertooth X99 has been scoring mid to low on the charts so far but the TUF Sabertooth X99 is designed more for durability under extreme circumstances than sheer speed. We find ourselves a little amazed it’s performed this well considering it’s design concept.
X264HD
Simply put, x264 HD Benchmark is a reproducible measure of fast your machine can encode a short HDÂ quality video clip into a high quality x264 video file. It’s nice because everyone running it will use the same video clip and software.
The TUF Sabertooth X99 comes in 4th spot in X264HD 7 seconds ahead of the MSI X99S and about 4.5 seconds behind the top runner.
OK, you win if you live in the Sonoran desert you need dust covers. But if not, it is a gimmick. I have filters on my case for that purpose.
The Sabertooth is a board designed for extreme conditions not your average every day user. It’d dust covers and prevention measures will be of some help but limited help. It just happens to be about the only option for extreme conditions. I’ve worked on machines that came back out of the Gulf War(s) laptop and desktop and you work on them sitting on a tarp because sand and debris will be pouring out, you take them outside and hit them with filtered compressor air. There’s a place for the Sabertooth it might not be your house but it’s one of the favorites of harsh condition motherboards and does in fact outlast other unprotected boards. If your not in that environment then buy an alternative by all means, if you have dust, spider web or other conditions like not planning on blowing the dust out every 6 months then maybe the Sabertooth is for you.
