Gigabyte launches the GA-H57M-USB3 based on the new Intel H57 chipset, with support of USB 3.0 and displayport.
Unlike the P55 motherboards with the 333 onboard acceleration this board lacks the SATA3 controller.
Since Intel has not yet implemented the support for USB3 in its P55/H55/H57 chipsets the work is done by the NEC uPD720200 chip. The USB power boost delivers extra power up to 3x the strengh used by USB 2.0, in future USB3 devices like a 3.5 inch hard drive can probably do without an extra power adapter.Display Port Support is the new standard for graphics display with an incredible speed of 10.8 Gbps. This new connector will probably replace VGA, DVI and HDMI in the (near) future.
ATI CrossFireX is supported by this mobo, but instead of having the full bandwidth like the X58 chipset(x16 - x16) or P55 (x8 - x8) the H57 limits itself to x16 - x4 lanes.
