Disappointing. Has Gigabyte forsaken Thunderbolt 3? Dual Thunderbolt 3 ought to be on the CPU PCIe lanes to get full speed unlike starved Z270 implementation. Here too all those USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports +NVMe + SATA3 are vastly oversubscribed. 8 lanes are enough for me for a single graphics card and I'd rather have the others used for TB3 and NVMe RAID. Audio DACs a disappointment too. New ESS Pro series vastly better than older 9018 parts.
