Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H-BK Black Edition Motherboard Review

Bioshock Infinite

We used the Bioshock Infinite demanding ‘Ultra’ setting and a 1920 x 1080 resolution to push today’s gaming hardware. Our data was recorded using a section of the game, not the built-in benchmark.

Metro: Last Light

We used a 1920 x 1080 resolution and the Metro: Last Light built-in benchmark set to ‘High’ quality to offer an intense challenge for the gaming hardware while also making playable frame rates a possibility.

Tomb Raider

We used a 1920 x 1080 resolution and the Tomb Raider built-in benchmark set to ‘Ultimate’ quality.

Gigabyte's Z97X-UD5H-BK shows performance equivalent to competing products from MSI and Asus in our Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite tests.

In comparison to the other Z97 motherboards, a single frame (1.4%) is dropped by the Z97X-UD5H-BK in the Metro: Last Light benchmark.

  1. big fan of gigabyte boards – this is a great looking mobo, good spec, good bios and pricing. I might aim a little higher up the Gigabyte food chain this time though – waiting on some of the higher end board reviews when K is out

  2. Want to see a review of their sniper board

  3. These Gigabyte Black Editons are a scam. They have the same specs as their UD5H boards but you end up paying 20% more for just a black heatsink and a burn-in test? I expect that a product works even without a factory burn-in test Save yourself 20% and get the normal UD5H.

  4. A refresh from the Z87 chipset

    Z97 looks more like a refresh product from the Z87. Except from the Sata Express support (which is a very premature technology) there is nothing really new
