GIGABYTE is known worldwide for its motherboard and graphics card manufacturing, GIGABYTE graphics cards are slightly inferior to motherboards in terms of reputation, but they are also far stronger than GIGABYTE's notebook business, and are also recognized as one of the strongest graphics card brands in the industry, with GIGABYTE graphics card shipments of nearly 1 million units in 2017, ranking fourth in terms of online sales, and the gap with ASUS is very small.
Gigabyte graphics cards also span the two camps of N card and A card, can become a partner of NVIDIA and AMD at the same time, to a certain extent, it shows the strength of the manufacturer, but like MSI, Gigabyte's A card is not sold in Chinese mainland, the number of products is comparable to ASUS and MSI, about 20 models, from the perspective of positioning and price, products above 4000 yuan are obviously less than ASUS / MSI, and 3000 yuan range and below account for the majority, the same level of products are cheaper than ASUS and MSI.
GIGABYTE graphics cards continue the problem of chaotic motherboard positioning, the flagship series has been changing in recent years, the flagship in 2016 is XTREME GAMING, the flagship in 2015 is G1, and earlier it is the WindForce series, which is different every year, after 2017, GIGABYTE has reintegrated its product line, the AORUS series is the highest-end, including the previous XTREME series, and then the mid-range GAMING series and the low-end Wind Demon series.
AORUS is subdivided into two series,Among them, the name with XTREME suffix is the original top Firefly series,The series is characterized by high frequency、High-standard heat dissipation and mute,Called "Eagle Eagle" by players,It is roughly at the same level as the MSI Hurricane series,The core frequency is higher than that of MSI Hurricane,And the length of the graphics card is shorter than that of the Hurricane,It is not so easy to be bent,The price is the same as 6999 yuan; And AORUS series without Xtrem suffix products are called by players"Little eagle",And ASUS Raptor and Raptor Owl are very similar,Small Eagle is only slightly lower than the big eagle core frequency,The performance gap is not big,At the same time, the RGB lighting effect of the backplate is streamlined,There is one more HDMI interface,The price is reduced accordingly6399element。
The GAMING series includes the previous G1 Gaming, which is lower than the AORUS series, positioning e-sports, the frequency is centered, there is a LOGO belief lamp, the specifications range from GTX 1050Ti to GTX 1080, the price ranges from the early 1000 yuan to about 4000 yuan, the Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming 8G of the series is a product that focuses on practicality, and the positioning of the ASUS Raptor series is similar, the core frequency of the graphics card is almost exactly the same as that of the ASUS Raptor GTX 1080, However, the lighting effects are not as rich as ASUS, and the price of 4099 yuan is nearly 1,000 yuan cheaper than ASUS's products of the same level, and users who have a limited budget and want to experience the performance of high-end graphics cards can consider it.
The mainstream graphics card of the GAMING series has GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6G, which is better than the GTX 1060 Wind Demon overclocking version of GTX 1060D, which is also GTX 1060D, and the price of 2199 yuan is only 100 yuan more than that of Wind Demon, which is also lower than the same level graphics card of ASUS and MSI, no matter what aspect you consider, GIGABYTE GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6G is more worth buying.
The situation is similar to the entry-level GTX 1050Ti, the GIGABYTE GTX 1050Ti G1 Gaming 4G with a higher positioning is only 100 yuan more than the lower-positioned GIGABYTE GTX 1050Ti OC 4G on the premise that it is superior in all aspects, and it retains the LOGO faith light on the top, and it comes standard with a full-size backplate, which is relatively rare in entry-level graphics cards, and the performance is also okay, and it is not a problem to eat a chicken under medium picture quality.
The Wind Demon series is the lowest positioned in GIGABYTE's product line, with a lower core frequency than the GAMING series, and one less heat pipe than the GAMING series, with only the GTX 1060 version currently on sale at around 2000 yuan.
In addition to the series, GIGABYTE also has a bunch of suffixes to further subdivide the product, such as OC for the overclocked version, WF for the fan, the number after it for the number of fans, WF2 for the dual fan, and WaterForce for the water-cooled version.
