MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming Motherboard Review

Henry Butt April 17, 2013 Featured Announcement, Motherboard

According to EA, Battlefield 3 garnered 3 million pre-orders by the day of its release. It is unknown at present whether these figures are worldwide or just for the US. The pre-order total makes it “the biggest first-person shooter launch in EA history”, according to the publisher. The engine is beautiful on the PC and very demanding of the partnering hardware.

We used the settings illustrated in the screenshot above for testing.

Here we can see a very tiny improvement in performance with the system overclocked.

    Well that is a beautiful design, I love the dragon engraved into the heatsink. excellent power delivery potential. Price point is quite competitive, considering the big foot networking adds a lot of the cost.

    MSI bioses are solid, I always buy them. I am waiting on haswell and their high end board for the 4770k.

    Good product though, just at the end of a life cycle which might stop sales a little. Haswell is due in a few months.
