"Taking just a first look at the board shows us that the enthusiasts layout is present along with spacing for 4 way dual slot cards similar to the X58A-OC board, but since the X79 platform now supports native 4-way SLI, these 4 slots can be fully populated and linked. Since we already tested and reported our findings on the massively popular Asus Rampage IV Extreme, we'll be comparing it to the X79-UD7 to see how the Gigabyte board performs. Presently priced at $369.99, the X79-UD7 is quite a bit below the $450-ish price of the Rampage IV Extreme and therefore could be a great performance value."
