Gigabyte Z170X-Ultra Gaming (LGA1151) Motherboard Review

Audio Performance


The Gigabyte Z170X-Ultra Gaming’s audio solution performs brilliantly at the 16-Bit 44KHz bit-rate. As you can see, the frequency response is impressive while the THD % and Stereo crosstalk are more than respectable. When utilising higher bit-rates, the performance curtails off slightly which brings the overall rating down to “Good”. Despite this, the motherboard’s audio is decent enough for most users and upholds a high level of clarity. Although, it’s disappointing to see a lower-end codec used on a motherboard costing over £140.

16 Bit, 44KHz (DVD Quality)

16 Bit, 96KHz (Studio Quality)

24 Bit, 96KHz (Studio Quality)

DPC Audio Latency Analyser

In terms of audio latency, the motherboard fares pretty well and shouldn’t encounter any problems in this department.
