El_Capitan Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Damn, that's one thorough review. Hope you guys don't expect something like that out of me. I'm glad AMD's Trinity is getting support for Lucidlogix MVP Virtu. Has anyone compared it to Sandy/Ivy Bridge's support for Virtu? One task I never got around to test out is Virtual V-Sync (which was done by Tom's here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/z77-express-virtu-mvp-benchmark,3174-9.html). Unfortunately Lucidlogix Virtu and MVP Virtu doesn't work with the -V Pro/GEN3's. Other than that, the -V Pro series from ASUS are great boards!

d6bmg Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 I like everything in this A85 board, specially the great pricing by Asus. Only one small con is there. They have used Realtek ALC892 as audio codec. They should have used ALC898 as it is used in most of the top of the line board.

I second that. And one thing that I should have said in my first post (but I missed) is to praise the reviewer (i.e. red ). Detailing in the reviews keep getting better and better. Great review!

ciddono Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Bought the A-10 for my kids budget setup. Went with the 75 series chipset for budget constraints. Got both and 4gb 1833 ram for a hair over $200. Tossing it in my older case and PSU for a system that ought to play games well enough at 12x10 or 16x9.
