Lost Planet 2 is a third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom. Many gameplay features from the original Lost Planet game are present. Recurring elements include major boss battles, extreme terrain, and the ability to pilot mechanized armor suits, known as Vital Suits (VSs).
Another intensive Direct X 11 game engine which can be difficult to power at high settings. The ASRock Z68 Extreme7 Gen 3 manages to produce an extra 5 fps, thanks to the Core i7 2600k and x16/x16 configuration.
Very nice indeed, looks great. I need a system upgrade, it kills me everytime I read a review of a new mobo 🙁
Yeah they are really good now, I hate however how some forums have idiots who are ‘experts’ who say they still suck. I have a P67 board of theirs (B3) and it is brilliant, never a problem. hits 4.6ghz with my 2500k no problem too.
x16/x16 is quite rare on these systems. good job ASROCK. bit expensive though isnt it?
This $275 board is meant for triple card multi-monitor setups, and is in direct competition with the $350 Maximus IV Extreme-Z, $360 UD7, $370 G1. Sniper2 budget and $310 FTW.
IMO, if a current triple-CF/SLI setup is the priority and you already own a dedicated SSD, sacrificing the Z68 futures for the $235 P67 WS Revolution is a better deal.
AFAIK, the NF200 bridge/switch is PCIe 2.0. If it is to handle the traffic from 3 PCIe slots to the CPU, then how will do it at PCIe 3.0 speed with PCIe 3.0 video cards and CPU??

Why are the first two pci-e slots so close together?
@ Carl. The second slot is the PCIE 3.0 compatible one. If you use SLI etc, I think you are meant to use slot 1 and 3.
Wich setting in the bios do have you change in the bios to achieve 4,6ghz?
