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.
A slight decrease in Battlefield 3's frame rates is observed when the MSI Z87 XPower system is overclocked. This small difference could be related to a systematic or measurement error.
that is one big big mobo! lovely design, I like their boards this generation, very attractive designs.
been wondering about this board since it was announced. Id like to see a review of some of the maximum boards soon too. this MSI board is on my shortlist.
They make the sexiest boards but gigabyte Z87 are giving them a run for their money this time. Its a kick ass board, but im not moving to haswell, its a sucky generation. waiting on the next one, quite happy with my 3570k
