First impressions mean an awful lot when it comes to evaluating hardware. If a motherboard doesn’t work out of the box, it’s admittedly much more difficult to put faith in a replacement. Consequentially, I was having some pretty repugnant flashbacks when Gigabyte’s brand-new and very inventive 3D1 graphics card arrived looking a lot like the XGI pre-production Volari Duo that haunts my dreams to this very day. However, once I got the card up and running with Gigabyte’s equally impressive K8NXP-SLI motherboard, one thing became remarkably clear.
