Dead Space 2 is a survival horror third-person shooter. The player controls Isaac Clarke from a third-person point of view, looking over the character’s right shoulder. The game features no HUD elements, relying on holograms projected from the player character and his weapons to show information such as messages and ammunition count, respectively. Player health and stasis is shown by a visual indicators located on Isaac’s back. Isaac must fight an alien organism that infects and takes control of human corpses, turning them into “Necromorphs”, mutating their bodies.
Necromorphs must be dismembered as the alien organism controls host bodies via tentacles extending into their limbs. Other, larger types of Necromorphs that cannot be dismembered will often have yellow, glowing pustules, indicating weak spots. Occasionally, when an enemy gets close enough to Isaac, they will grab a hold of him, and the player must repeatedly press a key to fend off the enemy, with failure to do so leading to death of the player character.
The system had no trouble playing Dead Space 2 even when it wasn't overclocked, showing fantastic framerates across the board.
Great looking board that, as usual from Asus. We need the new processors however the current range is looking seriously dated.
quality products. love this company. Only thing I will say is that their pricing is normally a fair bit more compared to some others. more so recently I think
Will be the center of my next system, with a bulldozer CPU. not sure how long this will be, probably a few months off from the rumors online
This is going to sound like such a minor point, but I regret not buying ASUS for my last system. The reason being that I love their support website. Many of the other east makes download files at 5k. it drives me nuts for updates.
Asus just have the whole package right from the start
As much as this looks ‘great’, im all about the bios and overclocking and their products are very hard to match overall. UEFI bioses are so easy to use too.
cant go wrong with red and black 😉 ROG FTW
Read a few reviews of this now and it seems an all round good board. no faults of note.
I dont think ill be moving to AMD tho. waiting on the new intel platform end of year.
What they didn’t test or even mention in the review is that SLI or Crossfire do not work at all yet no drivers have been released to work with the new chipset so you may have two cards but they won’t work together till they release the software to use them with the new board. I was all set to buy this board a few weeks ago when it first came out till I found this out. If this if fixed I will pick one of these up asap.
what? the crossfire is not working properly? F ** k! I already buy one of these with 2 XFX RADEON HD 6870.
crossfire is ok no prob with me with 2x xfx 6770
the driver currently available working fine
