MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC Motherboard Review

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.

Frame rates for MSI's Gaming series flagship are solid. Respectable scores are displayed in all three games. While there are differences of a few tenths of a frame between the boards, the reality is that such negligible margins will be almost impossible to detect.
