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.
The Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1 does not limit gaming performance of a system. Asus' reliability-driven board manages to offer the same frame rates as MSI's gaming-orientated Z97 competitor.
Luke, brilliant review and so much detail, took me 30 minutes reading it this morning. I love Kitguru’s motherboard (and GPU) reviews! This is top of my shortlist when the new K series come out.
What is going on? Why is everyone copying the ASUS red and black board designs? Nice to see ASUS (who started it all) using different colours.
Sabretooth are my favourite boards. always have been. ill be getting this one soon
I think thermal armor is a gimmick in regards to temperatures, but I like the dust protection and protection over the capacitors. I can be rough on the boards when installing them. Nice looking board – interested in SATA express too, as I have a lot of large files I move around often
based on your reviews I included the sabertooth mark 1 in my new build, also your reviews let me decide my gpu, gigabyte GTX770OC, psu seasonic X-Series 650W KM3 gold and now my ram, G.Skill ARES 16 g kit. Cheers for taking the stress out of my build
May I turn-off the small fans? Or just remove them? It is
going to have some significant impact in the performance or will the MB get
overheated?
Thanks!
