Gigabyte EP45-UD3P Review

Shripad

3DMark Vantage

This is the latest 3d benchmark from FutureMark. Its first DX10 benchmark. A set of synthetic CPU and GPU tests to evaluate system performance. Though its synthetic in nature, its good benchmark for relative comparison.

Again here you can clearly see there is nothing to between these two.

Awesome Review

But 15k...r they mad....Anything above 10k will be a complete rip off (considering its 140$, 120$ or so after MIR ). US market is in tatters and we are being ripped off

I know, thats why my conclusion says what it does

This is the indicative pricing given to me directly by gigabyte's PR people. So I am still hoping the actual pricing with dealers will be much lower than that. I really do hope this is the case.

Very good review as always

and very good board as well with a proper layout.

Gigabyte seriously need to rework their pricing method. From what i gathered from talking with their official is that they want to concentrate more only on the motherboard segment. But with this pricing it'll be really hard.

Amazing review. Also we know that the famous cooler SCCF DOESNOT fit on this mobo, which is sad but good to know for everyrone. EasyTune6 looks good and 0 vdrop waah!
When will Gigabyte change their pricing in India???
