Sapphire Pure Platinum A85XT Motherboard Review

F1 2012 is a video game developed by Codemasters. It is based on the 2012 Formula One season, and is the sequel to F1 2010 and F1 2011. It is the fourth Formula One game developed by the Codemasters studios after the company renewed its licence to develop the official games of the series.

The game features all twelve teams and twenty-four drivers competing in the 2012 season, as well as the twenty circuits — including the brand new Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas — included in the championship.

A great game to play and it runs very smoothly on all systems. The Core i7 system maintains a solid 60 fps throughout at these settings, dropping only one to 58 fps, which is much higher than the AMD or Core i3 systems.

  1. Wow! Very nice review. Good job AMD! Really liking this a lot! This is more competitive compared the bulldozers and piledriver processors.

  2. Its quite an ugly looking motherboard on a colour scheme level (not important to some I guess). thankfully they seem to be improving their bioses. been following their motherboards here since they started doing them….

  4. I like this new range of low end processors from AMD, they perform really well. anyone remember ATOM? yeah, not fondly. it was sh$t

  5. That SATA arrangement seems unnecessary. I can only assume the engineering wiring on the multi layer PCB had to be routed a specific way making the layout impossible for level port positioning.

    I suppose you could use the angled connectors, although they might still connect with a larger graphics card.

    Who uses mSATA however? the drives are very expensive.

  6. would make more sense if they did a mini itx version of it for media centers only.
