Setelah G1.Assassin diikuti oleh kedatangan G1.Assassin2, Jagat Review kembali menerima versi lanjutan dari motherboard  gaming Gigabyte, yaitu G1.Sniper2 yang, dari namanya, merupakan penerus G1.Sniper. Berbeda dari pendahunya tersebut, G1.Sniper2 memiliki chipset Z68 yang dimaksudkan sebagai pasangan prosesor Sandy Bridge LGA 1155 keluaran Intel (G1.Assassin2 adalah motherboard X79 untuk CPU Sandy Bridge Extreme). Untuk informasi lebih detail tentang chipset yang digunakan sebagai basis platform socket LGA1155 pada G1.Sniper2, Anda dapat membaca ulasan Z68 di Jagat Review.

Sebagai anggota seri motherboard gaming  G1.Killer, tentu G1.Sniper2 dipersenjatai dengan berbagai macam fitur andalan Gigabyte, seperti Dual BIOS dan material (komponen) konstruksi berkualitas tinggi Ultra Durable 3. Di samping itu, terdapat beberapa kelengkapan tambahan ekslusif yang hanya dapat ditemui di seri motherboard G1.Killer, yaitu chip audio Creative Soundblaster X-Fi terintegrasi dan LAN Controller Bigfoot Networks Killer E2100. Tentu saja, kemampuan-kemampuan “bawaan” dari chipset Z68 juga dapat ditemui di motherboard ini, termasuk Intel Smart Response Technology, LucidLogix Virtu GPU Virtualization, serta tak lupa dukungan interface PCI Express generasi ke tiga. Menarik bukan? Inilah spesifikasi lengkap dari Gigabyte G1.Sniper2:
