The first one will be ASRock Fatal1ty E3V5 Performance Gaming/OC for gamers, and the second one a workstation motherboard ASRock E3V5 WS.Īside from lacking Intel onboard graphics, which game addicts with fancy graphics cards won't miss a bit, ASRock Fatal1ty E3V5 Performance Gaming/OC makes a wonderful gaming rig. On the bright side, ASRock will release two Intel C232 chipset based motherboards after Christmas to match the CPU with the best value, Intel's E3-1230 v5. However, earlier Intel has decided to make these new Xeon E3-1200 v5 processors exclusive to Intel C232 chipset platforms, meaning that it won't work on your average Z170/H170/B150/H110 chipset motherboards. Does it translate into viable performance? Let's take a look.Intel's Xeon E3-1200 series processors were pretty popular since their performance is somewhat close to Core i7 processors, but cost way much less. There's no doubt that this is a premium product but with IPS, QHD resolution, 144Hz and G-Sync it sure has a lot to offer. Fortunately the panel is bright enough to make ULMB usable in darker environments. The latter feature is on/off only there is no adjustable pulse-width. The XB270HU also offers G-Sync and ULMB motion-blur reduction. Other performance parameters remain the same as with any other good IPS panel - good contrast, accurate grayscale, flat gamma tracking and in this instance, an sRGB color gamut. And that claim is backed by our photos, which you can see on the Viewing Angles, Uniformity, Response, Lag And Gaming page of this review. AHVA is IPS for sure, but offers better off-axis image quality. If you want to read more about it, see our review of the BenQ B元200PT monitor. It's important not to confuse A HVA (Advanced Hyper Viewing Angle) with A MVA (Advanced Multi-Domain Vertical Alignment), which is a completely different panel type. The principle reason is the particular flavor used here - AHVA.
But they were both TN screens and though they're excellent examples of the technology, the IPS-based XB270HU takes the image quality up a notch. We were impressed with the quality of Acer's other gaming monitors, the XG270HU FreeSync and XB280HK Ultra HD.
