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.
Gaming performance for the Z97X-Gaming 7 is as good as we would expect from a Z97-based motherboard. Gamers will be happy to see that Gigabyte's board is capable of running their system at full frame rates.
Gigabyte used to be a leader, and I still love their products, but what is with this red and black on every product? These are traditionally ASUS ROG colours, which even MSI are copying now. I want oranges/greens etc like Z87. Its a huge loss for me and im very disappointed to see this.
Great product and well priced. I want it in green too. Sounds like such a minor point, but im a Gigabyte purist and I dont want another red and black board. What is going on!
ASUS must be loving this. MSI copied their ROG colours and now Gigabyte. I suppose you could say the colours don’t matter, but every company has a certain colour scheme which their fans end up liking over the years.
Z97 has not impressed me so far, no new processors , apart from locked nonsense and all the companies have decided to make their products look identical.
Im waiting until later this year as I want to build a new system in my green Nvidia branded case. I dont want fu&king red and black to clash with all the rest of my components and my liquid in the water cooler.
Wow every forum and page I go to, has people complaining about red and black boards from Gigabyte. Who cares what colour a board is? all this colour coordinating crap is for women. matching shoes etc!
Its a great looking board, but I am waiting for this platform to settle a little and to work out if the upcoming K processors are worth a pitch.
Another great review from Luke. thanks. I am curious Luke – which is your favourite Z97 board to this point? Id like to see a review of a sniper – hopefully they make that with green heatsinks. I like to colour coordinate my system too. Seems everyone who doesnt own a red or black case is screwed with Z97.
Ga- Ζ97p-D3 are better from all ther “yellow series” Mothrboards!
I have use almost all except by one and im 99% is better in many ways working better in all works u wan’t to do with CPU,Best O.C,Sound (gigabybite maybe can do it better for this but is great like this anyway, Is Faster & Many More… And the very best is cheap right now 🙂
Sorry if i dont for my bad english but this is my oppinion and for my Store ppl say this and sell it more from others “in yellow series always” !
Very nice post thank you very mych!!!
