MSI Z87 MPOWER MAX Review (w/ 4770k / HD7990 / 2,933mhz DDR3)


Far Cry 3 is a first-person shooter, which also features role-playing game elements including experience points, skill trees, and a crafting system. The player has the ability to take cover behind objects to break enemies' lines of sight and also to peek around and over cover and blindfire. The player also has the ability to perform silent “takedowns” by performing melee attacks from above, below, or close behind. The game's narrative director, Jason Vandenberghe, said that the story mode map is around ten times larger than in the game's previous installments. Players are given the ability to survey and plan out their attacks with stealth takedown combinations and also tag enemies with the camera in order to track their movement once they break the player's line of sight.

We used a combination of ultra high settings at 2560×1600 resolution. Alpha To Coverage was set to ‘enhanced'. MSAA Anti Aliasing was set to x2. SSAO Method was set to HDAO. Field of view was set to 73.15

Excellent results, often holding a 50+ frame rate. The most intensive action sections drop to around 33-40 frames per second. Smooth gameplay throughout.

  1. Street Fighter

    my favourite of the bunch so far. awesome work MSI

  2. nice system build. In my dreams.

    Seriously though im thinking about this board for my next build – once I get my money back from DABS for a faulty product.

  3. I think the gigabyte boards look the best, but its not that big a deal when they all seem this good. ASUS Is my least favourite.

    Good job from MSI with this one – i have had good succcess in the past with MSI products.

  4. I think that this has to be one of the nicest looking 1150 boards that you’ve looked at in the past few days, well done MSI!

  5. bought, own it, love it.
