Dirt Showdown is the latest title in the franchise from Codemasters, based around the famous Colin McRae racing game series, although it no longer uses his name, since he passed away in 2007.
We selected the ULTRA preset and also toggled on 16x QCSAA, enough to bring most systems to a frame rate slideshow.
A demanding game, especially as such high image quality settings. The Core i7 970 system is a little juddery, dropping to 23 frames per second a couple of times. The Gigabyte and ASRock Z77 systems are closely matched, although the Gigabyte system has a very slight edge.
Well colour me impressed with that one.
Thats a hell of a Z77 motherboard, with a price tag to match. I heard they broke a 7 ghz record with this board on LN2.
Its a heck of a talking point, even if its more expensive than many of the flagship X79 boards.
My last gigabyte motherboard was great, but I opted for ASUS this time around as I had a few issues with the bios on the gigabyte board defaulting the memory to 1333mhz on every hard post up.
Bought one, but ill enter the competition too, as im greedy 🙂
Thats a sublime piece of engineering. very costly, but nice to see companies pushing the boundaries.
that is not a motherboard, it’s a monster-board LOL
it must be very easy for this board to overclock a k-series sandy or ivy.. nice color theme as well but I still wish gigabyte offer something in red…
This board is going on my Christmas list …
Dear Santa…
KaaaBOOMM And the song changes to Who let the dawg out, NO No its Who let the BIG DAWG BEAST OUT? So who said Christmas doesn’t come in JULY!!! hell-o income tax check lol?
