Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 Intel Z77 Motherboard Review

Unigine provides an interesting way to test hardware. It can be easily adapted to various projects due to its elaborated software design and flexible toolset. A lot of their customers claim that they have never seen such extremely-effective code, which is so easy to understand.

Heaven Benchmark is a DirectX 11 GPU benchmark based on advanced Unigine engine from Unigine Corp. It reveals the enchanting magic of floating islands with a tiny village hidden in the cloudy skies. Interactive mode provides emerging experience of exploring the intricate world of steampunk.

Efficient and well-architected framework makes Unigine highly scalable:

  • Multiple API (DirectX 9 / DirectX 10 / DirectX 11 / OpenGL) render
  • Cross-platform: MS Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7) / Linux
  • Full support of 32bit and 64bit systems
  • Multicore CPU support
  • Little / big endian support (ready for game consoles)
  • Powerful C++ API
  • Comprehensive performance profiling system
  • Flexible XML-based data structures

We use the following settings: 1920×1080 resolution. Anti Aliasing off. Anisotrophy 4, Tessellation normal. Shaders High. Stereo 3D disabled. API: Direct X 11.

At non-overclocked settings, the system scores an average of over 100 frames per second, which is excellent considering the high resolution and settings we are using.

  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?
