Aus diesem Grund wollen wir heute mal einen Blick auf einen günstigen Z97-Ableger aus dem Hause Gigabyte werfen. Mit dem Gigabyte Z97-HD3 kommt dabei eine Platine in die Redaktion, welche an sich einen sehr überschaubaren Funktionsumfang bietet, dafür mit allen Möglichkeiten einer Z97-Platine ausgestattet ist.
