Asus Maximus VII Ranger & Hero Motherboard Review

Bioshock Infinite

We used the Bioshock Infinite demanding ‘Ultra’ setting and a 1920 x 1080 resolution to push today’s gaming hardware. Our data was recorded using a section of the game, not the built-in benchmark.

Metro: Last Light

We used a 1920 x 1080 resolution and the Metro: Last Light built-in benchmark set to ‘High’ quality to offer an intense challenge for the gaming hardware while also making playable frame rates a possibility.

Tomb Raider

We used a 1920 x 1080 resolution and the Tomb Raider built-in benchmark set to ‘Ultimate’ quality.

Both the Hero and Ranger offer stellar gaming performance. Asus' Ranger is able to muster up a few extra tenths of a frame in Metro: Last Light, although it then drops by a tenth in Bioshock Infinite.

Tomb Raider performance is slightly slower on both Asus boards than the Gigabyte and ASRock competitors.

  1. Asus VII Hero owner here with a 4690K running at 4.7Ghz with 1.25vlts or 4.8Ghz stable with 1.3vlts, maybe I could have got the same with a £30 cheaper Ranger board..maybe not but more than happy with my purchase and those LED lights do look cool..:)

  2. Strong overclocking capacity for those who can make use of it, Well said and this is coming from a guy that lives for machine’s, guest I can thank you for those settings. I just order the ASUS Maximus VII Hero last night along with Corsair Vengeance Pro, Air Flow Pro, the Core i7 4790K and a few other gadgets for testing.

    I would also like to point out that I found this website all because of HardOCP and started digging around the site and became a liker, although the layout can get a bit confusing at first, it got bookmark with the other 1000+ that’s in there.

    Nevertheless nice, good and simple review keep up the good work Luke Hill.
