## Ultra Turbo Mode: One Click, Up to 40% More Performance

This is the headline feature. GIGABYTE’s exclusive **Ultra Turbo Mode** unlocks three progressive performance tiers for Intel Core Ultra 200S Plus K-SKU owners — all accessible with a single click in the BIOS:

**LV1 Intel 200S Boost** activates by default, delivering instant gaming gains via precision overclocking. **LV2 Turbo Mode** pushes FPS further with optimised core curves and aggressive memory acceleration. **LV3 Extreme Mode** goes all-in — maximum aggression for competitive benchmarking and elite gaming. GIGABYTE claims up to **40% more performance** in games like Hitman 3 at DDR5-10266 with APO enabled.

For RTX 50 Series owners looking to pair their GPU with a high-performance Intel board, this is a meaningful differentiator. Check our Intel Z890 motherboard coverage on Technosports for benchmarks as they arrive.

## D5 Duo X: Breaking the DDR5 Capacity-Speed Trade-off

The traditional problem with high-capacity DDR5 setups is that adding more RAM usually means sacrificing frequency. D5 Duo X solves this with the new **CQDIMM standard** (backward compatible with CUDIMM), delivering 4-slot-level capacity within a 2-slot footprint — without the signal integrity penalties.

GIGABYTE has collaborated with ADATA, TeamGroup, V-color, and other memory vendors to validate high-capacity CQDIMM kits for AI computing and content creation workloads. The result is a platform that hit **DDR5-10266** in testing — a new high-water mark for mainstream boards.

## Build Quality and Connectivity

The VRM is a robust **Digital Twin 16+1+2 phase** design with VRM Thermal Armor Advanced for sustained performance under load. The **UD Base Plate** — a full-coverage metal baseplate — adds structural rigidity and protects PCB pins during installation. M.2 EZ-Flex improves heatsink contact for better SSD thermals.

Connectivity includes **5GbE LAN, Wi-Fi 7**, USB4 Type-C, and PCIe 5.0 M.2 — a complete modern stack. The EZ-Latch Plus, EZ-Latch Click, and WIFI EZ-Plug features make the build process noticeably smoother, especially for first-time builders.

The Z890 PLUS Series (Elite, EAGLE, FORCE, and Duo X models) will be available shortly. For the latest on pricing and availability, see our motherboard news on Technosports.
