ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional Motherboard Review

Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City is a standalone compilation of the DLC episodes for Grand Theft Auto IV, containing both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony on one disc. It was released alongside the DLC release of The Ballad of Gay Tony on 29 October 2009 for the Xbox 360 and released on 13 April 2010 for Microsoft Windows and Playstation 3. It does not require a copy of Grand Theft Auto IV to play, nor is an Xbox Live or PSN account necessary (except for multiplayer).

The engine is still extremely demanding for this game – even months later for the newest hardware. The latest version changes some of the rendering calls and is used partially within the latest Max Payne engine.  We tested the game using near medium settings as displayed below.

In this test our test system struggled a little but we were still able to stay within our playable framerate limits with stock settings.

  1. hard to believe that they used to be seen as a ‘budget’ model maker. Great product.

  2. Maybe this has been asked before but some people on a forum I visit say they are actually ASUS, is this right?

  3. Looking forward to bulldozer, but some figures leaked dont look that impress. if they are right.

  4. ill wait until I see some bulldozer reviews before b uying, but this is on my shortlist.

  5. Hi Francis, they used to be Asus’ “sister” company, but made the break some years ago now.

  6. I have a 1090t and ordered this today. if bulldozer is worth the upgrade ill move over !

  7. Excellent again. t hey seem to be on a roll lately with some great products released every week. Im an intel guy, but this is great

  8. The only thing that puts me off this product is having to look at his face in the bios! can that be switched off?

  9. How often do they tend to make bios updates? I had a bad time with my last gigabyte board and thats why I moved ot asus as they are more regular.

  10. Seems to me that ASROCK are really stepping up their game. I currently have two ASROCK boards at home. One of them is about middle of the road and the other is a very budget board running a HTPC. I was very impressed with both boards and they have been running for about 6 months each 24/7 with no problems. Seems to me that both of mine come with pretty cheap looking graphics and UIs but for the feature set vs price you really can’t beat it at all.

  11. You could set a really sh#t clock by AMD CPU releases, intel must be pissing themselves.

  12. I am waiting on parts and will be building a system with the Buldozer and this motherboard. I would be happy to post any info on the results of the build if either Henry Butt or his readers are interested. I chose this Asrock board based on features, reviews and price. So far the board seems to be impressive in all catogories.
