Gigabyte Z87-D3HP Motherboard Review

Luke Hill July 26, 2013 Highlights-new, Motherboard

Metro 2033 is a first-person shooter video game with survival horror elements, based on the novel Metro 2033 by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. The game is played from the perspective of Artyom, the player-character. The story takes place in post-apocalyptic Moscow, mostly inside the metro system, but occasionally missions bring the player above-ground.

We used the game'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.

Metro 2033 seems to favour the low-cost Gigabyte motherboard. As we mentioned earlier in the review, this may be due to the fact that it doesn't feature the latency-increasing PLX controllers that the MSI and ASRock boards do.

    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

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

    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
