Many people who have media systems will be familiar with the Matroska (.mkv) file format which is often used for high definition video. In this test we will be using VLC Media Player to play a 1080P MKV file of Tron Legacy (ripped from our BluRay disc) while recording CPU usage.
Great results again, averaging just 7 percent CPU use.
ALways a shame their products dont support SLI.
Very fair review. It seems more aimed at enthusiast users with a little more knowledge of the bios. When I read the reviews of ASROCK and asus boards, there are settings basically which take out all of the work. Just one setting for a clock speed for the processor installed. This is a great idea.
I wouldnt have a problem with the sapphire ;’slightly old fashioned’ bios settings, but for a newbie,. they would be better investing in a different board with UEFI, kiddie proof settings.
DIdnt Sapphire poach some of the engineers from ASUS or something? probably why they are doing so well with the board designs.
