Asus Maximus VI Extreme (Z87) Motherboard Review

Luke Hill August 2, 2013 Featured Tech Reviews, 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 game's demanding ‘Ultra' setting and a 1920 x 1080 resolution to push today's gaming hardware.

Battlefield 3 has the M6E motherboard's performance down, in comparison to some of its competitors. The difference is a small 1 FPS which could be related to measurement or systematic errors.

    Thats a hell of a board, but its way out of my price range and I dont need a lot of the extras – still I like to see all the engineering that goes into these high end boards from ASUS, gigabyte and MSI

    Well finally, a review of this board from the perspective of a person who would want a high end board rather than the viewpoint of a reviewer who thinks ‘everyone should just buy a £150 board cause this one is too expensive’.

    If I want a GTX titan and not a GTX770 or a GTX780 ill have one thanks very much. I dont give a rats ass about value for money because im loaded. Same with this board, already have it and its much better than a mid range board. Why? because I need all the SATA ports, know the capacitors will last 3 years min at my 4.8ghz 4770k OC and it will handle my 3 way SLI setup without crapping out in a few months.

    Great review there luke, glad you didnt spend 1 hour droning on about a £20 saving on one of MSI or Gigabytes mid range boards because ‘I dont need this product as haswell won’t oc much anyway’. As if this is the only reason to get a high end board.

    Give me the facts, and ill make my own mind up – so thanks.
