X99-Designare EX, a high-end motherboard with the Intel X99 chipset, features an LGA2011-v3 socket, eight DDR4 memory slots for DDR4-3400 memory, up to 128 GB, a 9-phase VRM system, and a significant number of expansion slots.
The X99-Designare EX board supports 3-Way SLI. It does this with 16x lanes of PCI Express for each slot even when a 28 Lane CPU is used. To ensure this, Gigabyte has included a PLX PCI Express switch.
The GA X99 Designare EX will help designers and artists. It features the NVIDIA QUADRO 3D Workstation Professional Graphics Solutions that is exclusively designed for content creators.

The company has said that Gigabyte motherboards offer the best features for a seamless virtual reality experience, thanks to technologies, such as Thunderbolt 3 to transfer data and video, NVMe support via M.2 or U.2, and a one-piece metal shielding to brace for heavier discrete graphics cards. What’s more, Gigabyte Motherboards include Ambient Surround LED to set the mood.
The GA-X99-Designare EX comes with the Gigabyte-patented double locking bracket for its expansion slots which are reinforced with a one-piece stainless steel PCIe Armor shield.

Gigabyte’s proprietary Ultra Durable PCIe Metal Shielding strengthens the PCIe connector to avoid slot damage owing to heavy graphics cards. The DIMM and PCIe metal shield also ensure additional strength to the slots.
