Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7 (AMD 990FX) Review

Our good friends at Cyberlink kindly supplied the software for our BluRay and conversion tests.

Cyberlink PowerDVD 11 is one of the finest solutions for the BluRay experience on Windows and we found this software to work perfectly with this chipset. We tested with the Blu-Ray Disc of The Day The Earth Stood Still starring Keano Reeves. We are using the hardware acceleration of the HD6970 to help reduce overall processor load.

The system has absolutely no problem powering through 1080p bluray content, averaging 8 percent time at reference clocks, dropping to 6 percent when overclocked.

  1. Great boards, right up their with ASUS IMHO

  2. Like the colour scheme, very menacing !

    I think ill stick with intel, but im interested in bulldozer, will be interesting to see if they can take on Intel at £200 sector.

  3. Phew, I hate seeing a review when I bought something a few days beforehand. thankfully im reassuring. ill post my findings when I get the system built.

    (1090t, but planning to bulldozer when available)

  4. I disagree with previous comment. I think gigabyte are better motherboards than ASUS. I have always found them more stable.

  5. good motherboard, I plan to buy this when bulldozer is out.
