The Z97X-Gaming 3 (the motherboard in the picture is incorrect – it is actually the H97-Gaming 3), Z97X-Gaming 5 and Z97X-Gaming 7 will be offered in the ATX form factor. SATA Express and m.2 support is consistent across these three boards.

Increased capabilities with multi-VGA configurations is offered by the Z97X-Gaming G1, Z97X-Gaming G1 WiFi-BK and the Z97X-Gaming GT. Both of the G1 boards utilise a Creative Sound Core 3D audio system.
