Gigabyte Closes ASUS' Motherboard Shipment Lead, Could Trigger Price War

by far they will always be the "safer choice" i always need to see what there gonna do first b4 i do _______. Take UD6-UD7 890FX, i mean i know I'm gonna get formula but i still need to see theirs first lol. I had a gigabyte board that stayed OCED for 6 years and it still boots OCed. However most people after a "cycle" want to do something diff or step outside what they know. After i went Crosshair 3 um lol not turning back so fast lol. They got great boards at MSI too (but only in the last 2 years worth really mentioning. when they stopped going "red" (which they should have never changed) they had a huge gray area of blehhh.

The last major launch (P55) launch for Gigabyte they had the cleanest looking, priced nice, board for everyone,options featured, lineup that I've seen from any company ....like... ever? They all looked like soldiers posing for graduation picture. So they defiantly been doing good for some time. (not as long as some would think... i think it just seems like longer time cause they weren't always so great.. i just think people don't remember that cause there are great boards out now. They've had some pretty big flops too.

Agreed, but there's no UD6/UD7 boards by Gigabyte based on 890FX. The new top model is

GA-890FXA-UD5

You could hurt Chuck Norris with that thing.

go gigabyte, They have grown on me with all their extra copper and very usable bios. I hope some of the top end boards do come down in price, that woudl be so sweet!

Everytime you think Asus is better than GB.
he ill eat a kitten

No but, seriously, since the p35 chipset was out, all i recommend to my friends is GB and evga.
BTW GB has much more features on lower end bords than evga, so the brownie points goes to GB.

Win for us all!

Would be great to see another manufaturer in the mix too - make it a three-way price war! Handbags at dawn.

Who is in third at the moment anyway?

Alright cheep high end board

I'd say MSI/Foxconn is behind Gigabyte and ASUS.

Gigabyte and Asus motherboards are priced at a premium here in the Philippines, whatever is the newegg price expect that to be 2.3x~3.3xhere.

Yet. im certain there will be a 6 and 7 just cause they haven't shown doesn't mean they wont make it. UD5 will not be there top model. If this company knows the market like we know they know they will make it (native watrloop and all). AMD owners are no more or less "extreme" And with the 890GX chipset already reviewed and overclocked on air easily at 4.2 GHZ (965PhenomII) even this should be a monster.

agreed they are both a strong 3rd MSI has the GD series (the most recent) are dead on hits.... but they've had some really bad misses too and are not as consistent as ASUS or GB (yes even with RMA asus stories lol)
