Are there motherboards really good?
do they really increase a videogame performance?
Don't know if they increase performance but I've used Gigabyte for years and the only problem I've ever had was when one of the boards BIOS was corrupted. It had the dual BIOS feature though so it was fine.

Kek gigabyte. You cant make this up.
I've used the cheapest MSI motherboards since forever because they always provide the cheapest and I've had no issues. My check list is pretty much just

Well they both worked in the beginning. Don't really know what caused it. Haven't even bother trying to flash it since I can just flip a switch and have it work again. Had other dual bios boards from them and never had a problem though.
Reminder that /g/ doesn't have enough money to spend on a competent pc build, thats why they use linux on a toaster. This guys gets it >>54485311

They're pretty good, yeah, they have some nice features (QFlash, Dual BIOS)
>do they really increase a videogame performance?
No.

The thing is that these g1 claim to improve the lag problem with the killer ethernet and to have improved system sound.

so these are just for show off. Not even the thermal solution in the mobo is good to keep your temps low??

No they are way overpriced and look like a clown.

Top fucking retard.
Do you have top of the line connection? Do you have top of the line audiophile shit?
No? You won't notice any difference.

Hol' up, pham
>killer ethernet
>good
That's your first mistake. Killer uses Realtek 8111G NICs, which sucks dick compared to Intel i210s, they just put their own shitty, unproven drivers on it and sell it at a mark up. Their drivers are not only gimmicks, but they often perform worse than regular Realtek drivers.
>improved system sound
You did it again. You fell for the buzzwords.
The best audio solution is an external one. Buy an external DAC. Or, just live with a decent integrated sound system on a $100 motherboard. Only the real cheap stuff on H110, H81, B150, and AM1 motherboards have genuinely bad audio controllers.

No.

Aside from more features the higher end boards will have better VRMs for overclocking.

If you intend to overclock the cpu or gpu it helps to have a mobo with decent power phases for the north and south bridge, and decent VRM cooling.
Also if you ever want to sli or xfire yoy probably want a capable mobo.
Otherwise, its really just whatever is compatible.
