Gigabytes G1 series is a premier gaming/performance offering and with the Sniper M3 it is a mATX highly featured gaming board. Well the Z77 chipset is now upon us and with it came some interesting things. One being Intel's Native USB 3.0 and also all boards of Z77 nature will be PCIe 3.0 spec. Along with the Z77 we also have the long awaited Ivy Bridge CPU which brings with it a host of new features including but not limited to the new PCIe 3.0 spec lanes offered by the CPU. A total of 16 lanes go directly to the graphics slots for a single x16 slot or dual X8, unless as we have seen on some boards that used multiplexer chips to increase the lane count for even a more expanded configuration of installed components.
