Gigabyte Z77X-UP4 TH Motherboard Review

Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7. This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.

In this test we see similar results to 3DMark 11 as there is a sizable boost in performance when the system was overclocked.

ARC Raiders is overhauling its live-service strategy moving forward

While Embark Studios have continuously updated ARC Raiders with new content and updates, general sentiment surrounding the popular extraction shooter has waned somewhat over the past months. As a result, the team have now announced that they are shifting their live-service plans, replacing smaller more consistent updates with “major updates twice a year.”

  1. great motherboard, looks a lot better than many of the other GB boards ive seen in recent years.

  2. awesome board, next on my list to buy

  3. I think its £15 overpriced.

  4. Its not overpriced, for what you get its pretty good value. id like to see a few more sata 3 ports however at the price.

    Are there compatibility issues with D14>/?

  6. Hi Optical Illusion,

    I tested the motherboard with a Phanteks PHTC-14PE which is actually slightly larger than a D14. The only compatibility issue would be with memory featuring large heatspreaders but this is going to be an issue with the D14 on pretty much every motherboard on the market.
