Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7 (AMD 990FX) Review

Many people who have media systems will be familiar with the Matroska (.mkv) file format which is often used for high definition video.  In this test we will be using VLC Media Player to play a 1080P MKV file of Tron Legacy (ripped from our BluRay disc) while recording CPU usage.

Performance is great, even at reference CPU speeds. The overall load drops several percentage points when we increase the clock speeds.

  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.
