ncix.com This feels more like a spiritual successor to the OC level product from the previous generation, given the colour scheme and XL-ATX form factor (feels pretty high end). Gigabyte has, however, gone with the “UDX” branding for it.

ncix.com Unlike the previous generation G1.Assassin on LGA1366, this one is not a “top of the range” board, but I would say it’s more similar to the positioning of the G1.Sniper. The features gamers need, but without the fluff.

www.ncix.com I was genuinely surprised to see so many new features and improvements over previous generation RoG boards. Seriously. Watch the video to see!

ncix.com Great looks, performance, and features (including BT 4.0 and wi-fi) make this board a killer value on a killer platform.

ncix.com This is the board that exists at the very top of the regular edition boards, and only falls SLIGHTLY behind the RoG series boards in terms of features. In other words, it’s pretty badass…

ncix.com With full support for unlocked overclocking, boatloads of memory, SLI, CrossfireX, you name it, this board is loaded for bear….

www.ncix.com This is a very high end AMD gaming motherboard from MSI. You get support for the upcoming Bulldozer series CPUs (up to 8 cores) and SLI and CrossfireX support as well!

www.ncix.com This board features PCIe Gen3, which gives you double the bandwidth! It also comes with an unprecedented 5 year warranty from MSI and their all-new Click Bios II (an evolution of Click BIOS)

Yeah I rigged up my test benches with dual GTX 590s to remove any and all video card bottlenecks (in theory, but instead I just introduced driver limitation bottlenecks). There’s always so much debate about this, so I took two similarly priced CPUs and put them head to head in games!
