GIGABYTEone of the leading companies in high-performance and gaming hardware and components, has announced its new technology PerfDrive for the platform consisting of Intel 700 chipsets. This technology is responsible for integrating multiple GIGABYTE exclusive BIOS settings so that users can easily balance between different levels of performance, power consumption and temperatures according to their needs when using a processor. Intel Raptor Lake (13th generation), including the very powerful Intel Core i9-13900K.
PerfDrive joins another technology released by GIGABYTE to make it easy to take advantage of the latest generations of Intel processors, Instant 6GHz, which is available for motherboards targeting the Alder Lake and Raptor Lake generations. Similar to Instant 6GHz, PerfDrive integrates BIOS settings developed for optimization and specification enhancement. This, in combination with the GIGABYTE Control Center (GCC) software platform and the brand’s Ultra Durable design, means that GIGABYTE provides a powerful platform around the 700 series of motherboards for Intel, which are geared towards Raptor Lake. .
GIGABYTE’s hardware design enables its motherboards to not only offer quality power management, heat management and stability, but also the GIGABYTE Z790 model is capable of delivering 9,300MHz DDR5 memory performance. through overclock. This is where PerfDrive technology comes in by making it easy to make configurations available for optimal performance with the Z790 platform and easily tune motherboard models with the B760 chipset, all served through an intuitive user interface. .
For its part, Instant 6GHz allows Intel Core i9-13900K, Core i9-13900KF, Core i7-13700K and Core i7-13700KF processor models to reach or exceed 6GHz performance simply by activating the corresponding BIOS setting. , while PerfDrive also integrates into the Z790 platform various configuration modes available from the same place.
PerfDrive makes three predefined modes available: Optimization mode, which makes Intel Raptor Lake processor cores run at high speeds and without throttling due to overheating (thermal throttling); Spec Enhance mode to balance performance while keeping temperatures relatively low; in addition to disabling low-performance cores (E-Core) to allocate resources only to high-performance cores (P-Core) in order to improve performance in games and when doing overclock while reducing energy consumption.
The new GCC software platform provides a user-friendly interface for easier application installation, management, and upgrades for optimized performance. On the other hand, the following features are also covered: RGB Fusion for easy configuration of RGB lights, Fan Control allows the user to easily adjust the speed of the fan and Performance or Performance provides a configuration of overclock default and the possibility that the user can set his own.
To get GIGABYTE PerfDrive technology you need to update the BIOS of motherboards that support it, which can be done by going to the manufacturer’s website and looking up the motherboard model you are using.
