Quote: Throughout the testing today we compared the GIGABYTE 890FXA-UD5 to th e ASUS Crosshair IV Formula. Despite my board preferences the GIGABYTE 890F XA-UD5 fell ever so slightly behind the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula. Although , there is one area that the GIGABYTE 890FXA-UD5 fell behind in that is a g ood place to be lower: the price. Currently you can find the GIGABYTE 890FX A-UD5 for as little as $179.99 while the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula is sitti ng at a heftier price of $224.85. The question that arises is, is the extra $45.00 worth the ever so slight performance increase?
