Posted September 14, 2014 Ive heard some pretty bad stuff about B85 chipsets and thier limitations.Could someone give me a heads up on the cons of this motherboard? its a "MSI B85-G43 Gaming Motherboard" heres what it looks like; Im going to pair this with a "MSI Radeon R9 280 Gaming 3GB" Will this "B85" chipset hinder my gaming performance?Looking to play Battlefield 4 on ultra on 1080P at atleast 50 ~ 60 FPS average. Is this achievable? CPU: i5 4590 Motherboard: H97M-G43 RAM: Hyperx fury 8GB GPU: EVGA 750ti FTW edition Case: NZXT P240 Cooling: Corsair H55BOOM BOOM!

Posted September 14, 2014 Good news is it has Devil's Canyon support. As for bad news I am not finding any yet for this particular board. I did find bad news for an Asus version where there could be problems getting certain aftermarket HSFs to fit on certain B85 boards.As for BF4 ... Well the R9 280 I believe is the same or similar to this card and this guy is using the mobo (or similar) you will be using and he is getting 55 average with a nice minimum of 42 on Ultra/Full HD. Too many ****ing games! Back log 4 life! :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) if you have a locked cpu then you should choose b85 if you don`t want raid,h87/97 if you want. motherboard and chipset doesn`t affect performance. you can put a gtx 780 and i5 4460 on a b85 board and you have a high end gaming rig this particular b85 board get the 'gaming' name because of the color and that better onboard sound Edited September 14, 2014 by s3ns3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH YAY! Im going to use a i5 4590 for the cpu which pretty much performs better than his 4570 so this should be perfect! thanks man!
