GIGABYTE P55A-UD6 Motherboard

PCQ Bureau
New Update

This is a high-end motherboard for Intel socket 1156

processors, Core i5 and Core i7. It has SATA-III ports which means an increase

in data transfer speed by four times over the previous SATA-II. It also has two

USB 3.0 ports and six DDR3 RAM sockets. Gamers would be delighted that it

supports SLI and CrossFireX. It also has a 24-phase voltage regulator on board.

The motherboard scored an impressive 11,933 in 3DMarks 06, which means a great

graphics performance. In PCMark 05, the score was 10,300, so it is no mean

performer when it comes to basic office apps. In CineBench, the scores were 9132

CB-CPU, while in POV-Ray, the motherboard scored a rendered average of 97,697

over 2.01 secs; which means a more than decent display. It gave 60.75 FPS in

Unreal Tournament benchmark, which ensures a smooth gaming experience. All these

results make the motherboard ideal for power users and gamers. These scores

suggest a great performance, but the other gaming motherboard reviewed in this

issue, Asus Maximus III Gene, achieved similar performance and has a lesser

price tag.
