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.

  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.
