GIGABYTE Z97X-SLI Motherboard Review

Test Setup and Methodology

Our testing setup for this review includes the hardware as listed in the table below. The NVIDIA drivers that were used were version 337.88. The latest BIOS available at the time of testing for the motherboard was also used (F5). We will be testing the CPU, Memory, and 3D performance using the latest benchmarking suites widely available to everyone. Typically, we have charts for comparison with other products, however the only other Intel motherboard that I have in my possession has went on the fritz and is off to RMA; so for this review we will have standalone results that you may still compare with, if you so desire.
