  • G1™ Gaming Motherboards
  • GIGABYTE AMP-UP Audio™ Technology
    GIGABYTE G1™ Gaming motherboards are equipped with the GIGABYTE exclusive AMP-UP Audio Technology, which provides the industry’s highest level of onboard audio features and technologies. With GIGABYTE AMP-UP Audio, gamers and audiophiles are able to experience crisp, ultra realistic sound effects while gaming, and the richest possible sound experience when listening to their favorite music and movies.

    How does GIGABYTE AMP-UP Audio™ Technology work?
  • GIGABYTE Direct Audio Route Design

    • Shortest route, no wasted trace.
    • Less crosstalk & less EMI.
    • AMP positioned close to audio jack for lowest noise.
    • Better signal quality and better audio quality.

    The shortest route is always the best for audio signals.
    The GIGABYTE 9 Series G1™ Gaming motherboards feature the shortest audio communication paths between each critical component, from chipset to audio jack. This reduces the crosstalk along the way, and the very close proximity of the AMP to the audio jack directly results in lower noise disturbance.
    With this high quality audio design, GIGABYTE G1™ Gaming motherboards are able to bring users better signal quality for the absolute best audio experience.
