What do you guys think? How will it run games like bf3 and skyrim. (No games yet im broke) XD
correct me if im wrong, but i think you need a Z77 MOBO for Ivybridge...im actually pretty sure you do...
Nope. I bought this mobo and I was stupid didnt know it wasn;t compatible so I got my friend to lend me a sandy bridge so I could flash the BIOS and now everything works fine with my ivy bridge.
From what I have read you will lose some features. If you can get a z77.
What exatcly will I lose. I have a 30 day return on newegg so I can get a z77. Stupid of me its only 5 dollers more and I can crossfire. The only thing is that I dont want to wait for a new mobo to ship.
Just spend a bit more and get this-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293
Does anyone know how well this can run games like bf3 and borderlands 2?
