Gigabyte X79S-UP5 Review
3D Mark
Published: 21st September 2012 | Source: Gigabyte | Price: £240 |
3D Mark
Both of the 3D Mark results show good performance from the UP5. Because we're running a single GPU we get the full benefit of the PCI Express 3.0 16x bandwidth.

I think you must be reading the wrong thing mate. Its GASH.
it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek - lol

hmmm Love Gigabyte mobos, but as far as pushing hardware, the voltage settings have been annoying me since the solid 775 mobos. The newer 775 mATX have same problems, set the voltage and it disappears somewhere when you oc and put under load.
Something i don't grasp about this review...
