GIGABYTE has unveiled its latest B760 GEN5 motherboard lineup, delivering full PCIe Gen5 x16 support aimed at gamers, content creators, and PC builders looking for next-generation performance at a more accessible price point.
The “GEN5” branding signifies compatibility with upcoming high-performance GPUs, including the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series and AMD Radeon RX 9000 series. With PCIe Gen5 offering double the bandwidth of Gen4, users can expect faster frame rates, lower latency, and improved visual fidelity, which are all welcomed in competitive gaming and GPU-intensive creative workflows.
Beyond raw performance, GIGABYTE is focusing on user experience. The new boards feature a range of DIY-friendly innovations, such as the Wi-Fi EZ-Plug for simplified antenna setup, PCIe EZ-Latch for tool-free graphics card installation, and EZ-Latch Plus for screwless M.2 drive mounting. These features aim to lower the barrier for first-time builders while improving convenience for enthusiasts.
Thermal management also sees improvements. VRM Thermal Armor Advanced and M.2 Thermal Guard are included to prevent performance degradation due to overheating, ensuring sustained performance under load.
Connectivity options are comprehensive: 2.5GbE LAN, Wi-Fi 6E, USB-C ports (rear 20Gb/s, front 10Gb/s), HDMI, DisplayPort, and dual PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots enhance system flexibility and high-speed data access. These additions round out a platform built for both high-end visuals and efficient system operation.
