Gigabyte Z68 Killer Gaming Motherboard Release Date?

Yes PCIe3.0 doubles the bandwidth of current PCIe2.0/2.1 so a PCIe2.0 16 slot is the equivalent to a PCIe3.0 8x slot.
 
I am tempted to get one of these but not at this price , OcUk is this a supply and demand price or the genuine retail one???
 
these motherboards been on sale for a while
their three model to choose from the cheapest is around the £240 up to£380 mark for the high spec one.
all looks nice

This motherboard is not yet on the market for sale. (On just hit pre order on OcUK)

However, the X58 model is available in three models as you say, but this thread is regarding the Z68 model.
 
I saw this mobo and my initial opinion was wow.... but then i thought for a bit and said to my self - Wait a minute I'm not going to have this mobo on its won, there will be components installed on it, so how much of this beauty would i really see?
So i quickly photoshoped this. Hope this helps somewhat when making a choice

4 Slots for RAM and 2 graphic cards in SLI
 
Isn't their an anandtech article that states the onboard Bigfoot is no better than any of the others built into motherboards?

Also built in X-FI, thats quite nice but I think most people already have a soundcard anyway? I've had mine a few years and has seen use in 3 motherboards now.

You could always print the motherboard picture off on photo paper, buy an A4 sized photo frame and hang it on your wall, would save you £360. :D

this if i right has less features than the ASrock board for over twice the price..

so ASrock and soundcard and even the Nic card and still a huge saving..

plus as yet no overclock figures. ASrock boards hitting 5ghz

am i missing something

You're not missing anything, the following should give you the same features/performance for over £60 less with the bonus of being able to use the network card and sound card in a future build.
