In addition to supporting the latest AMD Phenom™ processors with AM2+ platform support, integrated DDR2 1066 memory controller , HyperTransport™ 3.0 technology links and 128-bit Floating Point Units, the GIGABYTE 790FX Series provide users the ultimate gaming experience with latest ATI CrossFireX™ technology support. For the GA-MA790FX-DQ6 , dual PCI Express 2.0 x16 or four PCI Express 2.0 x8 connectivity is offered, while the GA-MA790FX-DS5 offers dual PCI Express 2.0 x16 connectivity, allowing the GIGABYTE 790FX Series to deliver exceptional graphics performance on a single display by combining the processing power of two or more Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), or extensive multi-monitor support for up to 8 independent displays. In addition, dual Gig abi t LAN with Teaming functionality enables the GA-MA790FX-DQ6 to set two single connections as one, for twice the bandwidth, further improving overall throughput with lower CPU utilization.

The GIGABYTE 790FX Series also feature GIGABYTE's unique Ultra Durable 2 Technology . In addition to using All Solid Lower ESR Capacitors with SMD (Surface Mount Device) technology from leading Japanese manufacturers to provide enhanced system st abi lity and ensuring a long er component lifespan, the GIGABYTE 790FX Series motherboards feature Lower R DS (on) MOSFETs , delivering lower power consumption during the switching process, resulting in a faster switching process and less heat generation. The GIGABYTE 790 Series motherboards also utilize higher quality Ferrite Core Chokes , whose properties hold energy much long er than common iron-core chokes at high frequency, providing reduced core energy loss and lower EMI interference for extended system reli abi lity.

Not only featuring the unique GIGABYTE 6-Quad features* including QuadBIOS™ and Quad-Double Phase power design , the GIGABYTE 790FX Series motherboards are equipped with the all new, all copper GIGABYTE Silent-Pipe thermal technology as well as the built-in high-definition 7.1 + 2 channel Realtek ALC 889A audio chip , whose 106dB signal-to-noise ratio significantly reduces noise during signal transmission and supports both Blu-ray and HD DVD formats for an exhilarating home theater entertainment experience.
