Rendered at QHD or UHD resolutions and making use of DX12 technologies such as asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter and multi-threading, Time Spy is a modern 3DMark benchmark that hints at GPU potential in today's latest games.

The two systems start off on a fairly equal footing, then something strange happens to the Core i9-10900K. It's seven percent slower than the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X at the Extreme test. Looking into it further, the AMD system scores 10,165 for the GPU and 8,487 for the CPU, whereas the Intel scores 9,859 for GPU and a lowly 6,631 for CPU. It's the latter that drags the composite score down by a healthy degree.

Though we're comparing two systems in different chassis and brand of liquid cooling, the Asus card is equally happy in both, returning a pass in the stringent stress test.
