Great Review! Waiting for the Quad sli 980 ti review

Thanks sky. Pretty much exactly what I expected other than the OC. Hopefully they all OC so easily...if so all the sandy bridge people have found their upgrade.

AkG has another one of our retail chips for mobo review purposes. Without much effort his chip hit 4.7GHz+ on a Z107-A board. I'm aiming to get that review edited for tonight.

I wonder why it drops so much on Shadow of Mordor while it holds it's own on other games.

 

[SKYMTL]

The Shadow of Mordor numbers are an error. Updating now.

"Intel’s Smart Cloud Technology is being integrated here too, allowing for……"

Second page, either something's missing here or I'm just not awake yet and that sentence is fine.

 

[SKYMTL]

Yup. I was hoping to get more info about that but none was forthcoming. Sees I missed the update on that.

Wouldn't be it more appropriate to do the igp gaming tests at 720p instead of 1080p? Details about igp are still to be kept under wraps for the time being?

 

[SKYMTL]

Nope. Show me a single 720P monitor / TV for sale these days.

In my eyes, these IGPs need to game at 1080P at the lowest settings. Period. If they can't handle that....well.....
