Abstract: Our flagship motherboard comparison announcement was answered with an interesting selection of models, along with a bunch of “not ready yet” responses. Today we examine a few samples from companies bold enough to step up to the plate during launch week...
As mentioned in the intro, this review is much shorter than our usual, as the board was destined to go right into our GPU test rig (and we don't have performance comparisons at the current time). Instead, this was meant to be a quick look so that we c...

and FVThe Assassin 2 at the end of the day is a very interesting board. Gigabyte lowered the price on this board considerably compared to the original without taking away any features. Some might argue that dropping four way SLI support is a con, but ...
We had a good time testing the G1.Assassin 2 from Gigabyte, it was a pleasant experience. First things first, the new F7 BIOS will apply a limitation in the upper ceiling of settings, if you are not on Liquid Cooling, it will never hinder you (we think)...
