The A88X chipset and FM2+ platform is a great opportunity for manufacturers to deliver a dedicated gaming platform, GIGABYTE seized this opportunity and allowed the humble APU into their G1.Killer camp. The black and green design looks great, and thos...
Good layout, Simple, intuitive BIOS, Attractive price
Not in usual G1.Sniper mould
Gigabyte has taken the FM2+-compatible A88X chipset and built a board that extracts as much out of it as we're likely to see. It seems like an odd decision to design what at first glance appears to be a gamer-focussed motherboard for mainstream APUs, yet...
