Sapphire Pure Platinum A75 Motherboard Review

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 game is a little juddery with just onboard graphics, but after adding the discrete solution the frame rates increase significantly delivering a perfectly smooth gaming experience.

  1. Nice product. Good to see them getting outside gfx. they still make PSU.s right?

  2. I think mini ITX makes more sense tbh. better for media center…….

  3. Can anyone buy these cpus in the UK?

  4. good enough product, but id prefer it if it was mini itx as I think the target audience will be wanting this. Asus mobo is better I think.

  5. I have to say that I agree with the others. An ITX would have been a lot more suitable if, indeed this were being placed in an HTPC application.
