G1.Sniper 2 deemed a ‘Must Have’ for its gaming features at TweakTown

  It’s seems like our G1.Sniper 2 is winning friends and accolades wherever it goes, collecting yet another award this week from TweakTown.com. Veteran motherboard reviewer Shane Baxtor has seen it all. I mean this guy has forgotten more about motherboards than many of us will ever know. He put the G1.Sniper 2 through its paces, comparing directly to the closest competitor offering (Maximum IV or something, I forget the name….) and it clearly performed extremely well, coming out in front for the majority of benchmarks, while impressing Shane with its distinctively ‘gaming oriented’ spec: “What I like about the board on a whole, though, is the fact that it caters to a market that isn't really catered to much.
