ASRock Z87 OC Formula Motherboard Review

Metro 2033 is a first-person shooter video game with survival horror elements, based on the novel Metro 2033 by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. The game is played from the perspective of Artyom, the player-character. The story takes place in post-apocalyptic Moscow, mostly inside the metro system, but occasionally missions bring the player above-ground.

We used the game's built-in benchmark set to ‘Very High' quality to offer an intense challenge for the gaming hardware while also making playable frame rates a possibility.

Metro 2033 concludes what has been a well-completed set of gaming benchmarks from ASRock's Z87 OC Formula motherboard. If you're the type of user who wants to squeeze every last frame from your system, the ASRock Z87 OC Formula motherboard is a great choice for doing so.

  1. wow that is awesome, looks stunning too!

  2. This board looks great – good price point too, which I always like with ASROCK. plenty of detail luke, thanks for review

  3. I just ordered one, hard to find here though, they need to work on their distribution

    They are always well priced, they dont seem any worse than MSI, GB or ASUS either in my own tests, but it all depends on what board you get I guess.

  5. Not the Formula I am looking forward to but I might go with this after trying out Asrock’s Fatal1ty Z77 and loving it. Not to mention that 9.5 rating.

    That fan though >.<

    It's forcing me to wait for the other Formula (VI) before I can decide.

    Thanks for the review ^^

  6. Got the ac version of this from Overclockers abour four weeks ago. Just waiting on my custom cable extensions to arrive from Pexon to get my build started. If it is half as good as my X79Extreme11 in my main rig it will be epic

  7. Hi Luke,… was wondering. Is the PLX8605 embedded on the Z87 OC Formula AC driven from the CPU? or is it driven from the extra PCIe lanes provided by the Z87 Chipset? (I’m guessing from the lane configurations that it is the Z87? which would mean you could operate 2-way SLI without any latency?……) Thanks for any help you can provide.
