Gigabyte 3D Power
Gigabyte X79 series motherboards are the first to take advantage of the exclusive Gigabyte 3D Power, a hardware and software-based digital power engine for both the PWM and memory that delivers unprecedented power delivery control.
Digital power control for the CPU and memory
Utilizing a digital PWM controller, Gigabyte's 3D Power features precise auto voltage compensation to deliver a steady flow of power to the CPU and memory no matter the loading. This all digital power system provides enthusiast users with exceptional control over the overclocking potential of their Gigabyte X79 motherboard.
Gigabyte 3D Power utility
Users can now enjoy a fully interactive 3D utility that facilitates adjustment of the 3 dimensions that control the power delivery to your CPU and memory: voltage, phase and frequency. These parameters are crucial to how the digital PWM supplies power to critical areas of the motherboard and can help users quickly obtain the highest, most stable overclock.
Gigabyte 3D BIOS
The revolutionary Gigabyte 3D BIOS application is based on Gigabyte UEFI DualBIOS technology and is available to consumers in two exclusive modes of interaction never before seen in a BIOS environment. Gigabyte has re-drawn the traditional BIOS experience providing mainstream and enthusiast users with a choice of unique and powerful graphical interfaces.
4-way CrossFireX and 4-way SLI support
The GIGABYTE X79-UP4 delivers the industry's most scalable graphics platform, with support for both 4-way AMD CrossfireX and Nvidia SLI. Providing 4 PCI Express 3.0 x16 connectivity, X79-UP4 delivers ultra smooth 3D rendering, blazing-fast frame rates and enhanced graphics capabilities for users wanting to get the highest level of graphics performance from their system.
Gigabyte 333 onboard acceleration
Gigabyte X79 series motherboards feature Gigabyte 333 Onboard Acceleration, a range of the latest technologies that are designed help speed up data transfer, including SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology, SATA (6 Gbps) technology and an unprecedented 3x USB power boost on all USB ports for more power hungry USB devices.
Gigabyte on/off charge
Gigabyte X79 series motherboards feature on/off charge, a unique Gigabyte technology which allows you not only to charge your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, but also allows you to quick charge it. As an added bonus, it can even be charged when your PC is turned off, so even if you forget to plug it into your charger after you've synced up your music, it will be fully charged when you need it.
