This ATX board does almost everything, but it’s expensive and we’d have preferred more SATA3 ports at this price....

I consider this to be a high mid level motherboard. It's not as expensive as the high-end boards such as the GA-890FXA-UD5 or GA-890FXA-UD7 but it is also not as cheap as lower end mATX models. The 890GPA-UD3H performed well in our benchmarking...

GIGABYTE has a well-rounded board here with the 890GPA-UD3H motherboard with good performance, good feature supported by both the chipset and other chips. The inclusion of USB 3.0 ports on a 890GX motherboard is a no-brainer as the other standard,...

The crown for best integrated graphics processor (IGP) goes back to AMD with the 890GX chipset and its Radeon 4290 onboard. Never mind that SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0 hardware have barely started making an appearance in the market. This particular model...

Gigabyte's been really busy lately on the motherboard market so - we're trying to keep the pace with them, as well. We've seen quite a lot of new motherboards in the past couple of weeks - P55, H57, X58, and now finally, some really good...

GA-890GPA-UD3H is a decent motherboard, but, frankly speaking, Gigabyte has somewhat spoilt us by previous bestsellers based on AMD integrated chipsets. The today's motherboard doesn't look as excellent as Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H or Gigabyte...

Final Words & Conclusion With the 890GPA-UD3H Gigabyte offers a rock-solid motherboard, a great feature set and some very decent tweakability as well. It does offer just as much functionality as the competition does, but then some more. I mention...

If we had to sum up this review in one sentence, we’d have to say that we were incredibly impressed by the GIGABYTE 890GPA-UD3H. Considering its very affordable price tag, rich feature set and impressive capabilities, we would recommend it to both...

Although the 890GPA-UD3H might be the only AMD 890GX based motherboard that Gigabyte has on offer right now, we feel that it is one of the best examples available. Priced at just $140 US, the Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H is unquestionably one of the most...
