3DMark
3DMark is a repeatable synthetic benchmark which can show a representation of expected gaming level performance for your system and you can compare with others using similar hardware to see how well your rig stacks up.
3DMark is a UL Benchmark and if you would like to try it out on your rig, you can pick it up here! 3DMark Download
3DMark Firestrike shows more of the same with each board trading blows and the MSI falling a bit behind in 4K physics score.
Time Spy being a DirectX 12 benchmark shows a different synthetic gaming scenario. Gigabyte and ASUS trade blows here as ASUS seems to own the CPU score category while the Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Pro WiFi takes home the graphics score in the standard Time spy and ASUS captures the extreme 4K version.

SiC634 is for VCORE
Awesome catch, thank you for that… when I imaged it I got my notes mixed vs the 632A for the GT Core power. Updated.
I’ve already ordered this board, but was wondering about two things.
For one, it was really hard to get my hands on a piece, most shops have discontinued it, even on Amazon DE it was not available. Would you have any idea about the reason?
The second is about the WiFi card: On the lower end GAMING 3 WiFi it is an Intel 9560, but could not find any information on it’s, even the schematics positioned the “card” or a built in chip(?) under the shield. So do you know what model is it?
I wont be buying that POS. Who do they think they are not following the Intel spec and creating more heat and power consumption, a backwards step imo.
Well, to be fair.. Both MSI and GBT showed higher turbo duration than ASUS in this case. It is technically “breaking intel guidelines” but that is not a hard set rule, more where they suggest it be. It does net higher performance in some scenarios but also as you said potentially higher power draw and thermals.
