Motherboards. What are they? Mothers? Or simply boards? PC Format definitively answers these and other infinitely more practical questions in the new issue, #258. Over 19 entercational, edutaining pages we’ve tested over 20 mobos from all current platforms, both AMD and Intel. From the low end, no-frills to high end, feature-rich luxury, we’ve tested ‘em all.
Speaking of luxury, #258 covers some seriously desirable kit. OCZ’s 480 GB RevoDrive 3 stores data quicker than Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man, with a generous capacity we’re not used to from flash storage. Costs £1,300 mind.
Four figure component prices are the new black this autumn/winter apparently, because the Asus Mars II (aka the world’s fastest graphics card) costs a princely £1,200 – and there are only a thousand in existence. Packing two NVIDIA GF110 GPUs (a bit like the GTX 590), insane cooling fans and shocking us all with its sheer size, the Mars II is the ultimate graphics card, and we got to play with one. Find out our verdict inside.
Elsewhere in #258’s pages, you can find tutorials on how to increase security levels on your PC to those beyond even the impenetrable PlayStation Network, and also set up a smooth, high quality movie playing experience.
If you’re penniless after actually shelling out for the RevoDrive 3 or Mars II, you might like our free 24-page mini magazine on building a £400 DX11 PC, and our sub-£350 laptop grouptest too.
That’s aside from our usual array of quality hardware and game reviews, tutorials and features of course. Dive in and enjoy.
