Gigabyte cosies up to Nvidia at Computex

Building relationships with other companies is one way to give yourself a boost in the technology game and big trade shows like the currently ongoing Computex in Taiwan, are a popular place to announce such alliances. While Gigabyte hasn't done anything quite so formal, it seems from our impressions of its stand and comments, that it's become much closer friends with Nvidia than it was before.

For starters, while it's Aorus laptops appear to be almost identical to their initial unveiling, it now appears that a number of them officially support Nvidia's G-Sync. While it's not clear if that will do anything to their pricing – since it's rather a costly tech – it is a nice addition for those that want to avoid any tearing in their gaming.

There was also an area showing off Gigabyte's workstation developments, though once again, it was with a heavy Nvidia focus. Almost all of them featured Intel 750 NVMe storage, alongside Nvidia Quadro graphics cards.

We were also told in no uncertain words, that Gigabyte wasn't working much with AMD any more and had even dropped it from its workstation configurator.

KitGuru Says: The Nvidia focus is an interesting one for Gigabyte, especially considering AMD's new HBM supporting 300 series is expected out within a month or so.

  1. HBM is neat and all, but it will likely become an industry standard soon enough. Being the first to come out with it isn’t enough to hold sway with companies on its own. Not very surprising they’ve chosen nvidia to saddle up with.

  2. is it just me or is there an actual tear in the image of the laptop?

  3. $88 every hour @mk13

  4. I think it’s you. I’m guessing you mean the red line on the table? Looks like the top of the table is 1/4″(ish) thick glass and the line is breaking on the corner of the glass.

  5. no i mean the tears near the health bar

    if you maximise the image you can see them better, the whole image has tears

  6. There are no tears in the image on my work laptop, on my work laptop’s external monitor, my cubicle neighbor’s laptop or external monitor, my monitor at home, or even the projector in the conference room.

    Sorry man, I think it might be you.

    (edit) Hang on, there’s a different image than the one I was looking at, and it IS full of tears.

    I was looking at the first, main image ( http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/gigabyte04.jpg ) but the second one, which is straight on, with a view of the screen of the laptop with Witcher 3 running on it: ( http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/gigabyte05.jpg ) is FULL of them.

    My mistake, you’re totally right.
