Sapphires Pure Platinum Z77 motherboard pictured

With less than a week to go until the official launch of Intel's new 7-series chipset, the first pictures of Sapphires upcoming Pure Platinum Z77 motherboard has appeared and one thing is certain, it's not the same board as the one that was touted as the Pure Black Z77 back at CES in January.

Sapphire launches the Pure Platinum A55V

Having chatted with Sapphire back at CeBIT a couple of weeks ago, we knew the company is planning on taking a slightly different direction for its future motherboard products and the Pure Platinum A55V looks like it's a step in that direction.

For whatever reason, Sapphire decided to demo a pair of Radeon HD 7970 cards with 6GB of memory each at CeBIT and the company is considering going with these cards for its next Toxic branded model.
