Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Ōnin War. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan. The standard edition of the game will feature a total of eight factions (plus a ninth faction for the tutorial), each with a unique starting position and different political and military strengths.
At 1080p all the systems are closely matched as performance is tied into GPU performance. At 720p resolution, the processor and system bandwidth becomes a more integral part of the score, and as such the Core i7 970 system manages to expand the differential by a considerable margin.
Wow! Very nice review. Good job AMD! Really liking this a lot! This is more competitive compared the bulldozers and piledriver processors.
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….

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