Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 Intel Z77 Motherboard Review

Sleeping Dogs started development as an original title, but was announced in 2009 as True Crime: Hong Kong, the third installment and a reboot of the True Crime series. As a result of the game’s high development budget and delays, it was canceled by Activision Blizzard in 2011. Six months later, it was announced that Square Enix had picked up the publishing rights to the game, but the game was renamed Sleeping Dogs in 2012 since Square Enix did not purchase the True Crime name rights.

We are using the highest possible image quality settings at 1080p, including the high resolution texture pack, which is available as an optional extra.

This game is not playable at these settings on the overclocked Core i7 970 system, but it is on the newer Gigabyte and ASRock Z77 systems. Fantastic results.

  1. Well colour me impressed with that one.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Bought one, but ill enter the competition too, as im greedy 🙂

  5. Thats a sublime piece of engineering. very costly, but nice to see companies pushing the boundaries.

  6. 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…

  7. This board is going on my Christmas list …
    Dear Santa…

  8. 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?
