GIGABYTE G1 Assassin & Sniper
Sometimes it feels like we're reaching the upper-limit of what features can be added to our motherboards, but companies like GIGABYTE continually prove that the sky's the limit. Its G1 series of motherboards reaffirm that, as both its feature-set and overall aesthetic appeal is top-rate.
Catered to gamers, the G1 comes in three flavors, two of which we've awarded the "Best of" award. On the surface, the color scheme is simply awesome, featuring a black PCB with black/green components - perfect for the marine. The heatsinks around the CPU socket and PWM area are shaped like a gun barrel and handle, while the faux southbridge has a bullet magazine sitting atop it.
Being that the G1 series is designed for gamers, the boards are able to handle three GPUs without an issue, and in the case of the Assassin, four should be possible. On most motherboards, using three or four GPUs is difficult due to discrete network and audio cards that might be wanted, but GIGABYTE gets around this problem by including a Killer Networks E2100 network chip and Creative X-Fi audio chip right on the motherboard, freeing upall of the PCI slots for gamers.
