DiRT 3 was released quite recently and has received a lot of praise from gamers and reviewers across the globe. It is the latest iteration of the Colin McRae Rally series, despite Codemasters dropping the Colin McRae branding. It supports DirectX 11 which enhances detail and brings a number of other visual enhancements to the gaming experience.
In DiRT 3 the performance gains when overclocking were minimal as it is a more graphics dependant game than some others.

Nice to see a different company being reviewed on Kitguru. never actually had one of their boards but this one looks quite good to me.
Wow another Z77 board. Id love to know right now, how many Z77 boards are in the channel. must be at least 40.
Good looking board, but not sure I would buy biostar, have they any UK warranty terms etc? I know ASUS have a good return/replace system via their paretners?
MediaExpresso’s chart says higher scores mean better performance.

I think you might be mistaken. The faster the encoding time, the less time you have to wait.
