ECS Z77H2-AX Golden Edition Review

Testing:

Civilization V is a turn-based strategy game. The premise is to play as one of 18 civilizations and lead the civilization from the "dawn of man" up to the space age. This latest iteration of the Civilization series uses a new game engine and undergoes massive changes to the way the AI is employed throughout the game. Released for Windows in September of 2010, Civilization V is developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K games. Testing will be done using actual gameplay, with FPS measured by Fraps through a series of five turns, 150 turns into the game.
