ASRock X99 Extreme 11 Review: The Most Extreme X99 Motherboard?
Low-Res Gaming: Crysis and ETQW
For our next set of tests, we moved on to some in-game benchmarking with Crysis (DirectX) and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (OpenGL). When testing processors with Crysis or ET:QW, we drop the resolution to 1024x768, and reduce all of the in-game graphical options to their minimum values to isolate CPU and memory performance as much as possible. However, the in-game effects, which control the level of detail for the games' physics engines and particle systems, are left at their maximum values, since these actually place some load on the CPU rather than GPU.

"If you can't beat em, join em," This is ASRock's answer to the ASUS competitor. The X99-Deluxe snags the stock clock wins in both tests. However the OC test shows the Extreme 11 finishing dead-even with the rival.
