First answer, WHats difference b/w suzuki fx and mehran and alto and vvti and 911 turbo and lamborghini and bugatti?
hint: the bigger the size/cost, the higher the performance/tweaks.

PS: you need to narrow down your question as to what ur looking for and what your interest in, plus your budget. that will make requirement more clear to the users :wink2:

Bohot acha system hay, dont upgrade to any chipset only upgrade gpu if needed. But you need to further define your problem, like are you having lagg in gameplay or something?

u dont need to upgrade anything if u want ur memory to run on 1600mhz get a mobo if u want pcie 3.0 get a cpu and motherboard obviously 3rd gen mobo and cpu but i dont re recommend u doing anything because this would not get u a real life performance difference. so be happy with what ever u have and yes if u have a small monitor get one with D-DVI 21 inches atleast for full HD gaming

Sir, do you even know what you're talking about? An i5 2500k/2500/any other LGA1155 processor at stock will perform the same at H61 H67 P67 Z77 Z68. EXACTLY the same.
Yes, you're correct in saying that you'd have to pay a higher price if you want to overclock, but the higher price does not say higher performance.

Secondly, buying a z77 board with a 2100 would be sheer stupidity. In your metaphorical example, running a Lamborghini at a 30kph speed limit road only. Therefore, going for

Big bucks doesn't always equals higher performance. All expensive things need not be steller performers.

Lastly, which board and chipset depends on what his processor is or what his intentions are. Currently, even a 2500k maxes out everything at human resolutions and a decent gpu. Overclocking will only be needed if either the person is an ock freak, or is going to run insane setups with multiple high resolution displays.

Anyway. @OP, over the top of my head,

H61 :
Entry level.
2 DIMM slots
Usually 1 PCIe 2.1 slot
Ideally no provision for SATA 3 (can be used via SATA3 cards though I hear)
No ocking possible of any sort
1333 MHz RAM supported (Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge don't benefit from faster RAM anyway.)

H67:
Usually 4 DIMMs
Ideally comes with SATA3 connectivity (Very useful if you have a SATA3 SDD. Not worth it if you have a SATA3 HDD though as it is bottlenecked by the HDD hardware anyway)
Ocking the processor is not possible however you can overvolt and thus overclock your GPU
1333MHz memory supported only
PCIe 2.1 slot(s)

P67:
H67 minus overclocking your GPU but you can overclock your processor (UNLOCKED PROCESSORS ONLY, the ones which have a K at the end of the number)

Z68:
H67 + P67
In that, everything they offer, so you can overclock the processor aswell as the gpu

Z77:
Almost a Z68 that was introduced for ivy bridge processors (3xxx)
PCIe 3.0 lane(s)

basically, one should opt for a z77 board if they plan on gaming on an insane resolution of multiple displays such as 5760x1080, 7860x1600 etc where you would require the higher bandwith which top end cards like the 7970, 680 4gb etc would consume. Memory bandwith stays the same in multiple GPU configs so initial higher is helpful.


Anyway. Concluding, I'd say stick to H61 if you are a normal gamer and not a benchmark freak, have no plans of overclocking or imminent plans of SATA3.

Let me put it in this way:
H61 = no overclocking but limited video outputs (D-Sub). Normally comes with mATX form factor.
H67 = no overclocking but video outputs (DVI, HDMI, D-Sub). Normally comes with standard ATX form factor.
P67 = overclocking but no video outputs.
Z68 = overclocking and video outputs.

Motherboards are there so that you can do these things:

Add more RAM sticks/higher clocked RAMs.
Overclock Processors. (certain kind).
Overclock GPUs.
Add more HDDs.
Add faster speed HDDs.
USB 3.0.
HDMI/DVI/VGA slots.
More stuff like more PCI-E Slots, more USB Ports etc.

A 20K RS Motherboard and all other items same vs. a 5K Motherboard and all other items same will yield no improvement in performance.

[MENTION=25041]mnauman664[/MENTION]! Motherboards dont have any effect on Gaming performance.

To understand the difference, following wikipedia article describes it in a very easy way.
LGA 1155 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Just to make things easier, his real question was pertinent to the PCIe 3.0 lane in z77 chipset boards.

Basically, he said that he was getting ~80 fps on Far Cry 3 but with vsync it kept shaking between 50-60. He wanted steady 60 and was wondering if that'd be achieved by a z77 board.

ultra settings frame rate 80 to 85 vsinc off but frame tutata hai vsync on fram rate 60 fix but some time 50 to 58 hota hai main chah ta hon 60 fram rate say down na ho

resulation 1900*1080 1080p

[MENTION=25041]mnauman664[/MENTION]! Thats not even a problem. And it has nothing to do with a chipset such as Z77.

VSync simply matches the frames of your game with the refresh rate of your monitor. If you are curious about frame rates, keep Vsync OFF. Dont worry about the ghosting effects, if you own a good LCD/LED display ... you'll not feel a thing.

NO FPS Difference in gaming whether u buy a 6K mobo or a 26K mobo.
i say go for 6K one don't throw away your money in hell for nothing.
and Overclocking is Registered
Spoiler: show
Bullshit
anyway for many reasons :wink2:

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
