Performance
For performance testing, I ran the Z270-F through all of our normal motherboard testing. Most of the tests are just to confirm that there aren’t any weird quirks or performance issues. With this being our first Z370 board there aren’t any comparison numbers as well. That said I was happy with the overall performance of the Z370-F when paired with the i7-8700K and the GTX 1080Ti. It put up solid numbers in 3DMark, in game, and in the overall tests like Passmarks Performance Test and PCMark 10.
While testing I did also put the NIC to the test as well. This is one of the few areas of a board that can sometimes vary depending on the network card they went with. In this case, Asus stuck with the Intel I219V that is included in the chipset and as you can see the performance was really good.
