Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC Motherboard Review (w/ Intel i7 4770k)

Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Ōnin War. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan.The standard edition of the game will feature a total of eight factions (plus a ninth faction for the tutorial), each with a unique starting position and different political and military strengths.720perror1080p error
The built in benchmarks in STEAM would not run, returning the errors above. We therefore loaded the game and configured the image quality settings ourselves.

We selected a 1080p resolution and used the default ‘low' quality settings as shown in the image above.

The game ran well on low image quality settings, averaging just over 60 frames per second. There is certainly a little overhead to increase some of the image quality settings available.

  1. Gigabyte have this round sown up, that new bios also looks amazing.

  2. Terrible Terrance

    Lovely looking motherboard – I am not moving however, waiting on the next generation.

  3. about time they ditched the blue PCB boards- what a step forward ! love it !

  4. this is the board to get, the price looks spot on and its not losing any features.

    Only thing is the 6 SATA ports, id like 8 like the asus board, as I have a lot of hard drives.

    THE GIGABYTE BOARDS are killer looking. best boards they have ever products.

  6. 4770k is a flop. Intel are clearly focused on the mobile platform now and power reduction rather than moving forward in the high end and giving people a huge step up. anyone with a 3770k wont need to move,unless for some reason they need onboard graphics !

    disappointing CPU launch, but great motherboards from the guys. I like how they have ditched the old SATA standard now instead of 3 or 4 useless ports for SSD.

  7. 4770k isn’t that bad, but I agree, its not a huge step forward. it may help those peoplee who buy a lower end processor and cant afford a graphics card, but who the F*CK will want a 4770k for onboard graphics performance? its irrelevant really.

    Ive seen a lot of reviews today and there seems to be a huge variance on the overclocks, which would suggest the new manufacturing process isn’t quite at the level it should be. ill stay with my 3570k for a while longer as its working well with the 7950 I have.

  8. Noob question:

    I see you used the 1.65volt corsairs, but the board specifications are for 1.5.volt. Wouldn’t
    that impact the lifespan of the board in the long run?

  9. Does the Z87X-OC natively supports the i7-4770k? Or do i need to update the Bios to a newer version? Actually i have a problem since i have just built my new pc but when i try to turn it on the fens start to work but everything shuts down after 1-2 seconds.. I’d like to know if there is an hardware problem or if it’s just because of the bios.
    I have no real experience with Bios and stuff like that ç__ç
