Sapphire Pure Black 990FX Motherboard Review

F1 2011 is the newest Direct X 11 racing game from industry pioneers CodeMasters. The 2011 Formula One season is the 62nd FIA Formula One season. The original calendar consisted of twenty rounds, including the inaugural running of the Indian Grand Prix before the cancellation of the Bahrain Grand Prix. Pirelli returns to the sport as tyre supplier for all teams, taking over from Bridgestone. Red Bull Racing are the reigning Constructor’s Champions. Red Bull Racing’s Sebastian Vettel is the defending Drivers’ Champion, one of five World Champions appearing on the grid.

F1 2011 is a fantastic racing game and it looks great with the Sapphire HD6990 powered from the Pure Black 990FX. No problems with performance either, even with 8x Anti aliasing and ultra preset enabled.

  1. wow, wicked set up for AMD users. I love that graphics card !

  2. not a very attractive board like the ASROCK fatality series or some of the asus extreme boards, but overall its a heck of a good layout and seems to OC well.

    How often do sapphire update their bioses however?

  3. first time ive seen a sata port in at the same areas the CPu power connector. might be a good idea if you can route the case sata port along the reverse side and out through a hole. keep it neat. But is this any better than having another port in the standard sata area?

  4. plenty of PCIe ports, but not a single gen 3?

  5. The bios looks a lot better than their Z68 and X58 platform boards did.

  6. Didnt they poach a lot of engineers from one of the leading mobo companies anyway? seems like a good thing to do if you want to do it right.

    the layout is good, and I like the SATA port next to CPU socket and I/O panel. its easy to run the front mounted ESATA cable from a case to this location behind the mobo panel.
