Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Pro WiFi: Is Midrange AORUS Right For Your Next Build?

For Gaming benchmarks, We chose to consolidate to key newer titles and consolidate them on to targeted pages for easier navigation and less work for you to find what you need. Below are all gaming showing how these parts stack up. Please keep in mind that all systems are running a stock Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider just launched and I must say, the game is beautiful. It should be a worthy stress test and a validation point for newer GPUs. It is also worth mentioning if you didn’t catch it on the list, but it will be employing some of the new RTX card features soon which means it will look even better!

Here with Shadow of the Tomb Raider we see that 4K is even as there’s all load on GPU and CPU is not the bottleneck in any way. Once you drop to 1440P and 1080p we see a shape form. MSI takes the lead with the Maximus in 2nd and the Gigabyte picking up the rear.

 

Far Cry has been a great series of games and the newest takes on a cult-like group in the rural USA. This entry into the Far Cry franchise has some great visuals and can definitely put your GPU to work being a much newer game.

Far Cry 5 we see more of the same with MSI leading the pack by a very thin but sustainable margin.

 

Ashes of the singularity

 

Ashes of the singularity technically should be in the synthetic benchmark page at this point as I think it has become the running joke in the reviewer circles as being basically the only game that nobody ever plays but is always benchmarked.

Here we see that the CPU benchmark shows ASUS ahead in every resolution by a slim lead.  Move to the GPU benchmark and things change a bit with MSI steadily carrying the lead for 1080p and 1440P with only 4K ASUS surpassing them.

Middle Earth: Shadow of War

Shadow of War is more of the same with all platforms standing on each other’s toes so it comes down to a features race.

 

Civilization VI AI Benchmark

Civilization VI is a great game turn based and it can be very long and methodical. This may raise the question of how this is a proper benchmark, but as it has an AI benchmark which measures your systems speed at processing turns in the game it suddenly becomes clear why we chose it.

here we see the Gigabyte board barely edging into the 13-second range by a hundredth of a second. it is a tight race as expected and the Pro WiFi falls in the middle of the pack on the AI test.

Forza Motorsports 7

 

 

Forza is our racing game entry and a great one at that as it has been worked on to make some great DX12 performance along with a visually stunning and fun to play game. The Forza series has generated an almost cult-like following and for good reason.

With Forza, we see that average FPS are very good on all 3 boards tested. This means that you will have a great gameplay experience should you mirror our setup. But there is no real clear advantage on these boards.

  1. SiC634 is for VCORE

  2. 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?

  3. 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.
