Asus Z87-Deluxe/Quad Motherboard Review

We used the Bioshock Infinite‘s 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.

We used a 1920 x 1080 resolution and Metro 2033‘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.

Gaming performance from the Asus Z87-Deluxe/Quad is solid. The motherboard managed to muster up a few extra frames over some of its Z87 counterparts. Asus's board also managed to vastly outperform the similarly professional user-orientated ASRock Z87 Extreme11/ac motherboard in gaming tasks.

  1. They make great motherboards, but I never liked this gold colour scheme, its difficult to match up with other components in a windowed case. I prefer their traditional red ROG schemes.

  2. I was going to buy this board as I have a few lightning drives which I also use on my macbook pro. its not a bad price considering the feature set.

  5. In your Excellent review, you typed, “…A pair of Gigabit Ethernet ports is provided by a combination of Intel’s I217V chipset, as well as the RTL8111G from Realtek. Asus should make it easier for users to understand which Ethernet connection is fed by each controller..” I found a Great answer!
    I just received my ASUS Z87-Deluxe/Quad motherboard, and it has an “Intel” sticker that covers the top of the ethernet output port (the one closest to the BIOS feedback button), that states in three lines ” Intel Ethernet, Great Capability, GBit LAN”. Then by default, the Ethernet port next to the Analog port is the Realtek port !
