ASRock Z87 Extreme9/ac Motherboard Review

Sleeping Dogs started development as an original title, but was announced in 2009 as True Crime: Hong Kong, the third instalment and a reboot of the True Crime series.As a result of the game’s high development budget and delays, it was cancelled by Activision Blizzard in 2011. Six months later, it was announced that Square Enix had picked up the publishing rights to the game, but the game was renamed Sleeping Dogs in 2012 since Square Enix did not purchase the True Crime name rights.

ASRock's Extreme9/ac also shows a slight performance deficit against MSI's Z87 XPower in Sleeping Dogs. The 1 FPS difference is unlikely to cause any issues, and could be related to the additional CPU overhead required by ASRock's motherboard software, if there is any.

  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.
