Encouraged by the current trend of making everything as colorful, curvy and simple as possible, Gigabyte has made something called the '3D BIOS', an UEFI BIOS that offers a 'more intuitive' way of navigating through, and managing motherboard settings.
The 3D BIOS allows entry-level and mainstream users to have an easier experience when interacting with the BIOS, yet ironically, it's going to debut on Gigabyte X79 motherboards which target enthusiasts and overclockers as that's the demographic for Intel's Sandy Bridge E platform. Thankfully, Gigabyte's board will have a Dual UEFI BIOS implementation which will provide both the 3D BIOS and an advanced BIOS mode. Switching between the two modes can be made via a simple click.
Back to the 3D BIOS though, it revolves around an isometric view of the motherboard and allows users to quickly access settings for various components. This is done by simply moving the cursor over an area - either the socket, the VRM zone, the memory slots, the SATA ports, the PCIe slots, the chipset or the back plate, and clicking on it. This opens a new window where you can make required or desired tweaks. Each area of interest is highlighted when the cursor is over it and includes a pop-up 'bubble' explaining what it offers. Moreover, if you click the '3D BIOS' icon in the top right corner of the screen you'll get live 'counters' depicting the CPU, BCLK and memory frequencies.
The 3D BIOS is patent pending and will probably find its way into all future Gigabyte motherboards that feature UEFI.
