Gigabyte X299X Aorus Xtreme Waterforce Review i9 10980XE

HEVC

HEVC does a similar thing to the x.265 benchmark but instead of running with the x265 encoder it utilises the popular H.265 format which is rapidly becoming the standard for video encoding.

The Waterforce just edges the Encore, by well under a half a frame per second. Despite not being the latest model the Rampage VI Extreme does welll at stock, albeit not quite matching the Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme.
