Asus vs. MSI

[Abem]

Need advice. Asus Z87i-Deluxe with GTX760 mini or MSI Z87i-Gaming AC with MSI GTX760 mini. Which of the two is best in high-end gaming performance?

Silly newbie, in addition to trix being for kids, motherboards don't impact performance! You just need one with all the features you need.

I'd say the MSi one. I have an MSi board and I love it.

 

 

Lol, oh silly silly newbie, Motherboards don't impact performance! You just need one with all the features you need!

I wish I could post a link where I seen a board line motherboard vs a high end mother board, but I lost it.. anyway Motherboard does impact performance it's just he margin is slim.. and I would go with the MSI gamer matey love the design and how it looks all around.

What he said^

Also, I wouldn't consider either to be suitable for high-end gaming.

For motherboards, there is no real "Better performance". There are several things to watch out for. If you are overclocking, be sure to get a motherboard that supports overclocking. Also, you would want a motherboard that suppoorts your RAM frequencies, and sizes. Most importantly, is reliability. Then, obviously, there are the features

MSI makes some awesome video cards that for sure. The mini certainly wont have all the cooling and overcloking as the full 760 but will likely perform pretty close.

msi and asus boards are both good however, about those 2 boards the Asus Z87i-Deluxe is just the better board. hands down!.

 

the Asus has a much better vreg design, 12 powerphase, digi vrm's, Which is important for highend gaming, cause if you a highend gamer, you want every drop of performance out of your system, and then you want to overclock. and thats the point what is making the Asus a much much better board.

 

The msi has only a 4+2 powerphase and digi vrm.
