It must be snowing in Texas today as we finally have another P55 board to preview without it coming from Gigabyte or ASUS. Today’s star is the MSI P55-GD80, which is designed to compete directly against the ASUS Deluxe and Gigabyte UD5 series. We have been very impressed with MSI as of late with the AMD based 790FX-GD70 plus the uATX form factor X58M motherboards. In fact, MSI will also be releasing a uATX based P55 motherboard that will sell under the P55M-GD45 moniker.
MSI was considerate enough to send us a production ready unit this week and we have had a blast using it since it hit the testbed.
