Gigabyte Z87-D3HP Motherboard Review

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 performs best on Gigabyte's basic Z87 motherboard. This result gives further implication that the lack of a latency-increasing PLX PCI-E switch is helping to give Gigabyte's Z87-D3HP motherboard small graphics-related performance victories over the MSI and ASRock products.

  1. Great price. and it seems all the more expensive boards with 12 power phase etc are a bit of a waste of cash as the cpus are very limited in regards to ocing

  2. Seems like a winner, not very sexy looking, but at least the heatsinks arent gold!

  3. It proves that unless you need a lot of the modded stuff these cheap boards are much better than they used to be. I like gigabytes new boards, better than the competition

  4. maybe Gigabyte is OK.

  5. I ordered one, Seems to be coming soon, Looks very nice 🙂 Not sure what’ll be when it turns up, But i’, gonna pimp out the 32gb And Intel 4770k 😀 Not straight away but eventually, will post results 😀
