To ensure GIGABYTE Ultra Durable TM Motherboards are able to work with various computer components out in the market , each unit must first pass a Compatibility Test or AVL Test ( Authorization Validation List Test ) in GIGABYTE ’ s R & D Laboratory . GIGABYTE ' s R & D Facilities have extensive inventory ofcomputer components which include CPU , Memory , HDDs , SSDs , Power Supplies , Monitors and more .
Each GIGABYTE Ultra Durable TM Motherboard is tested with a variety of these different components to assure that each one operates with the board properly . Once a compatibility issue occurs , GIGABYTE R & D cooperates closely with the Vendor Partners to resolve any issue . With such a vast market of products GIGABYTE ’ s AVL list can significantly lower compatibility issues before a product goes into mass production . If any issues are found after production , GIGABYTE will acquire the incompatible product and duplicate the issue to find and resolve the problem .
Each GIGABYTE Professional motherboard must pass a Function Test as well as a Performance Test in the R & D Laboratory in order to satisfy GIGABYTE ’ s Internal Performance Standard .
GIGABYTE R & D completes hundreds of functional checklists on each Ultra Durable TM Product , including , but not limited to CPU / Memory Compatibility , Expansion slot , Input / Output function , and Power Stability .
In Performance Testing , GIGABYTE prepares several benchmark programs such as 3DMark ® , Specviewperf ( specifically for Nvidia ® Quadro ® ), and PCMark ® to make GIGABYTE Ultra Durable TM Motherboards compliant with GIGABYTE and Vendor Partner Performance Standards .
