GIGABYTE VisionLINK TB is based on Thunderbolt™ 4, delivers 40Gb/s high-bandwidth speeds, data, video, 60W power, and USB4™ specification compliance devices with the simplicity of just one cable. One simple connectivity to make your work better than ever.
Add Graphic Power to You
Ever wondered if you can have your discrete, high-end graphics card to power your pen display? Through the DisplayPort™_In and VisionLINK connections, the performance of the discrete graphics card is delivered to the pen display. Bring your creation into incredible realism and performance.
Connect Devices You Have. Like a Pro
Creators engaged in drawing work usually connect with a high-end pen display. Now, it can even be directly presented on the big screen to discuss more details or real-time rendering during the proposal. Meanwhile, they can have a daisy chain of multiple Thunderbolt™ devices together and ultimately end up with just one cable to make the connectivity to be simple.
*Compatibility may vary according to system configuration and device specifications.
Wait No More
Make Your Network More Scalable
Onboard Marvell® AQtion 10 GbE Ethernet has driven high throughput performance and low latency to ensure faster transfer of large files used in data-intensive applications.
Intel® 2.5 GbE network connectivity supports speeds up to 2.5 times faster than Gigabit Ethernet. It gives an immediate boost to overall network performance and data transfer speeds.
Do more on the go with Intel WIFI 6E
Intel latest wireless solution WIFI 6E 802.11ax with a new dedicated 6GHz band, enables gigabit wireless performance, fewer dropped connections, and reduces congestion in heavy bandwidth usage scenarios. Moreover, providing better WIFI signal strength of the antenna design compared to a traditional antenna.
WIFI 6E Advantage
Spectrum congestion is huge problem in current WIFI environment nowadays because too many devices all use existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum, and it cause unreliable connection and slower speed. WIFI 6E is extended standard to WIFI 6, and it use dedicated 6GHz band that it provides not only brand new frequency to transfer data, but also spacious spectrum for future more devices. With WIFI 6E, users can enjoy faster connection and stronger signal than before.
SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps
No Hassle Connection.
To feature the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 connectivity design, which is double performance than the current USB 3.2 Gen 2. It works up to 20Gbps ultra-fast data transfer while connecting to USB 3.2 compliant peripherals. You can enjoy the ultimate connection flexibility to access and store massive amounts of data rapidly.
Faster Instant Reaction Speed
You can never have enough memory bandwidth, and DDR5 helps meet this insatiable need for speed. Whether you are editing hundreds of audio samples, handling 4K footage, or multitasking workloads, it boosts system performance and offers you a smooth experience.
DDR5 Bandwidth
DDR5 delivers at least 1.5X more bandwidth than the prior generation. This will facilitate the bandwidth needed for some applications, such as AI training and content creation.
Compress and share your artwork more effectively
* 7-ZIP Benchmark tests are conducted using specific computer system and reflect the approximate performance.
Single 32GB Support
Bring your tasks without lag.
A single memory slot of the Z690 motherboard can support up to 32GB. With populated 2 DIMMs per channel on GIGABYTE Z690 motherboards, the maximum memory capacity support is 128GB. You can experience faster performance and instant access without any lag.
Multi-Card Support
Make Your Expandability Flexible.
Multi-card configurations provide better utility for applications such as 3D design or media workflows, deep learning, video film editing, and SSD storage capacity upgrades for maximum productivity. With expandable PCIe slots, you can do more than ever before.
