ASRock Z87 Extreme9/ac Motherboard Review

According to EA, Battlefield 3 garnered 3 million pre-orders by the day of its release. It is unknown at present whether these figures are worldwide or just for the US. The pre-order total makes it “the biggest first-person shooter launch in EA history”, according to the publisher. The engine is beautiful on the PC and very demanding of the partnering hardware.

We used the game's demanding ‘Ultra' setting and a 1920 x 1080 resolution to push today's gaming hardware.

Battlefield 3 shows slight frame rate variances between the ASRock and MSI motherboards, but the numbers are close enough to write this off as a systematic or measurement error from our FRAPS testing.

  6. Nice review but you miss one important point about the exclusive DP-In (the gamer alternative to Virtu MVP).

  7. With all these trends in modern technology and robotics,
    it is starting to be a probability that many of us might soon become enslaved by it most especially if you recognize that there’s nothing
    we all do at this time that does not involve modern technology

  8. Hi Luke Hill. Need to see the main.jpg picture of the Z87 Extreme9/ac motherboard’s UEFI BIOS main page. I’m wondering which bios version is that. I’ve tried all versions found in the net and none can get me to set PCI’s other than PCI2 to gen1. Thanks.
