MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming Motherboard Review

Black Ops 2 is the latest episode in the Call of Duty franchise and is one of the most popular games of the moment.  It uses an updated version of the IW engine, used in previous Call of Duty games, which isn't particularly demanding.  This makes it ideal for testing mid-range gaming systems like this.

We used the settings illustrated in the screenshot above for testing.

We see a significant boost in gaming performance with the system overclocked in this test.

  1. Awesome, great photos too Henry, really enjoyed that read. ordering one today as I am not moving to haswell this generation.

  2. Well that is a beautiful design, I love the dragon engraved into the heatsink. excellent power delivery potential. Price point is quite competitive, considering the big foot networking adds a lot of the cost.

  3. MSI bioses are solid, I always buy them. I am waiting on haswell and their high end board for the 4770k.

    Good product though, just at the end of a life cycle which might stop sales a little. Haswell is due in a few months.
