3DMark and PCMark
As a whole the Assassin 2 performed well in our synthetic benchmarks, specificly in the 3DMark benchmarks. PCMark on the other hand showed slowdowns in hard drive performance, something that is odd because we use the same two Kingston Hyper X SSD’s in raid on all of our X79 tests. Raid performance was a little lacking but all of the other benchmarks came out respectable putting the Assassin 2 in just below the Rampage 4 in most benchmarks.
