3DMark Fire Strike
3DMark is a computer benchmarking tool created and developed by Futuremark Corporation (formerly MadOnion.com and initially Futuremark) to determine the performance of a computer’s 3D graphic rendering and CPU workload processing capabilities. Running 3DMark produces a 3DMark score, with higher numbers indicating better performance. The 3DMark measurement unit is intended to give a normalized mean for comparing different PC hardware configurations (mostly graphics processing units and central processing units), which proponents such as gamers and overclocking enthusiasts assert is indicative of end-user performance capabilities.
What do you mean it has no M2 port? Really? Ic can be seen from an airplane.
Of course it has one, just not in the place where you would traditionally see it on other boards. This is clearly stated on the first page of the review above the image which shows it alongside the SATA connections…
“So, what we have is a total of six SATA 6 Gbps ports (grey) and four ports which come from the two SATA Express ports. The other connectivity option is of course one of Z170’s big selling points – the M.2 PCI-E port.”
