Graphics effects: Adobe After Effects

Two network adapters, over twenty USB ports, a really powerful VRM… in short, a motherboard for those with more demands than usual.

At first we weren’t entirely sure, but now, after testing several models, it’s pretty clear – the Z890 Aorus Elite WiFi7 motherboard from Gigabyte deserves the Smart buy! editorial award.
