Sudahkah Anda membaca artikel kami mengenai motherboard Gigabyte G1 Assassin? Ada baiknya jika Anda membaca artikel tersebut terlebih dahulu sebelum melanjutkan membaca artikel yang satu ini.

Mengapa? Karena pada dasarnya, motherboard yang baru saja datang ke meja pengujian tim Jagat Review ini merupakan versi “sunat” dari motherboard sebelumnya, yaitu G1 Assassins. Gigabyte menamakan motherboard ini dengan nama Gigabyte G1 Sniper, salah satu dari tiga motherboard yang termasuk dalam kelompok G1-Killer. Tema yang diusung juga masih sama, yaitu memiliki nuansa warna militer yang didominasi dengan warna hitam dan hijau.

Ada beberapa perbedaan yang mencolok antara Assassin dengan Sniper. Satu hal yang paling terlihat adalah ditiadakannya slot PCI-express x16 keempat yang membuat motherboard ini hanya mendukung multi-GPU sampai tiga buah (Triple SLI atau Crossfire). Selain itu, phase powernya juga diturunkan dari 16 ke 8 phase saja. Lalu, bagaimana spesifikasi lengkap serta kinerja dari motherboard ini? Baca artikel ini hingga akhir.
