AnandTech chief motherboard reviewer, Ian Cutress, just published an exhaustive appraisal of a several Z77 boards designed with multi-GPU configurations in mind. It’s great to see the GIGABYTE G1.Sniper 3, our flagship Intel Z77 gaming motherboard, pull ahead of the pack with a perfect storm of features, performance and value for money – claiming the prestigious Bronze Editor’s Choice award along the way.Here’s a taste of what Ian had to say;

“It is easy to recommend the Gigabyte G1.Sniper 3 – for the price it provides the performance, the functionality and the extras in the box that a user needs.  Somehow Gigabyte has been able to undercut the competition to good effect, and passing this good value package onto consumers.

With this in mind, I would like to give the Gigabyte G1.Sniper 3 the AnandTech Editors Choice Bronze Award.  For price, performance, and the sense of a good value package, the G1.Sniper 3 offers one of the best price competitive PLX PEX 8747 packages available today.”
