MSI Z87I Gaming AC Mini-ITX Motherboard Review

We used the Bioshock Infinite‘s demanding ‘Ultra’ setting and a 1920 x 1080 resolution to push today’s gaming hardware. Our data was recorded using a section of the game, not the built-in benchmark.

We used a 1920 x 1080 resolution and Metro 2033‘s built-in benchmark set to ‘Very High’ quality to offer an intense challenge for the gaming hardware while also making playable frame rates a possibility.

We used a 1920 x 1080 resolution and the Metro: Last Light‘s built-in benchmark set to ‘High’ quality to offer an intense challenge for the gaming hardware while also making playable frame rates a possibility.

Gaming performance on the Z87I Gaming AC is as good as many of the larger motherboards that we have compared it with.

With the correct graphics card and supporting hardware, there is no reason why the Z87I Gaming AC cannot serve as the foundation for a powerful gaming system.
