Introduction

Several months ago, Intel launched the Z68 chipset, and now that there are several standardized options for each form factor available already on the market, we've begun to see many specialized products appear, with very different usage-based designs. We recently looked at one from MSI, a product very much focused on extreme overclocking, while today, we take a look at something completely different from Gigabyte. Straight out of the newly-designed G1.Killer series, Gigabyte sent us none other than the G1.Sniper2, a limited edition gaming-focused product released recently to the North American market. We send the G1.Sniper2 on a covert mission; equipped with a Killer NIC E2100 NPU and a full Creative X-Fi soundcard strapped on its side, as well as featuring true PCIe 3.0 support for future CPUs. Will it find it's mark?
