ASRock 890GX Extreme4 Motherboard Review

Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7.  This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.

We saw a reasonable increase in performance with the 30% overclock which is quite impressive considering how simple it is to achieve this overclock.  The Zotac GeForce GTX 470 GPU made a large contribution to the overall score.

  2. Doesnt seem to have any major flaws. PCB design looks good.

  3. solid buy, not an asus or MSI product, but they are getting there 🙂

  4. ASrock deliver these at good price points.

  5. no point reviewing these things, you cant buy them anywhere, only in america. waste of time.

  6. Very nice board, seems very good buy

  7. id never buy an asrock board. they are cheap make.

  8. This seems to be a good all round product with support for everything like USB 3 and sata 6gbps. only issue I have with asrock is availabiltiy which means ive never been able to try one.

  9. My friend had an asrock board and it was pretty good, he bought it cause of local pricing here. its very good.
