Now these new Gigabyte motherboards are going to war, pack with advanced “weapons” to beat the your competition. Gigabyte has just released three new motherboards, The G1 Assassin, G1 Sniper and G1 Guerilla. These are LGA 1366 type motherboards and are based on the X58 chipset.
GIGABYTE has designed the G1-Killer series motherboards for serious hardcore gaming. G1-Killer features several state-of-the-art on-board solutions from industry leaders including Creative and Bigfoot Networks, as well as several unique GIGABYTE features. Gigabyte has brought out the big guns in the battlefield and they literally put a Armalite magazine with a bullet in the motherboards.
The new motherboard looks cool. The green and lack suites their theme. Let see what Gigabyte has to say about their new “weapon”.
“GIGABYTE is thrilled to be able to introduce the world’s first motherboard series designed solely for elite gamers,” commented Henry Kao, Senior Vice President of Research and Development at GIGABYTE. “The G1-Killer series features the industry’s most advanced hardware and software solutions from Creative and Bigfoot Networks onboard as well as the top-notch quality and durability users have come to expect from GIGABYTE.

“Intel is very excited to see continued innovation on the Intel® X58 Chipset platform, and congratulates GIGABYTE on their latest high-performance G1-Killer gaming motherboard series”, said Steve R. Peterson, Director of desktop chipset and strategic marketing at Intel Corporation. “These new motherboards, paired with Intel® Core™ i7 Processors Extreme Edition, deliver incredible speed and responsiveness to serious hardcore gamers.”
“Sound Blaster audio technology is a class above any of the integrated chipsets currently on the market, and it’s clear that the PC industry concurs with this,” said Steve Erickson, Vice President and General Manager for Audio and Video at Creative. “When it comes to onboard audio solutions, we’re seeing more and more major motherboard manufacturers like GIGABYTE selecting Sound Blaster technology as their audio enhancement technology of choice, because of the far superior high-definition audio quality it furnishes.”
