GIGABYTE Intros Aorus X299 Ultra Gaming Pro Motherboard

btarunr · Nov 30, 2017

GIGABYTE today introduced the Aorus X299 Ultra Gaming Pro motherboard, a similar revision to the original X299 Ultra Gaming, as the recently announced X299 Gaming 7 Pro is to the original X299 Gaming 7. The board is nearly identical to the X299 Ultra Gaming, but comes with an added wireless networking module.

GIGABYTE deployed the Killer Wireless-AC 1535 module, which provides 802.11ac 2x2 (dual-band) Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity. The wired networking is still handled by an Intel i219-V controller, with an included license to cFosSpeed, a traffic-shaping utility that you can use to improve online gaming latencies. The Aorus X299 Ultra Gaming Pro will be priced roughly 20% higher than the X299 Ultra Gaming.

Sometimes naming goes a little too far. This is when pretty much

They can add "turbo" to the name and release yet another motherboard

Looks pretty good in my opinion. I'm not really a fan of orange either but two to three colors in the right manner looks good IMO.

Agreed - When they release the RBG version, then maybe get on "board"!
