Gigabyte has included a new dual-mode model as one of its latest gaming monitors during its Leading Edge event at Computex 2025. The expo also introduces new WOLED and up-to-500Hz displays. The OEM has equipped them with its latest AI Tactical Features for potentially enhanced responsiveness, image stability and quality.

Gigabyte's latest Leading Edge presentation has launched new monitors such as the MO27Q28G, a new version of the MO27Q2 with an upgraded 280Hz Meta 3.0 WOLED display. 

It has debuted alongside the M27UP and the M27UP ICE, the latter of which has been introduced as a new Tactical Dual Mode monitor.

It might be cheaper than the $899.99 LG UltraGear 27G850A-B with a different choice of refresh rates: 160Hz and 320Hz, which can be accessed in the display's 4K and FHD modes respectively.

Alternatively, the M27QS is billed to be released as a new 27-inch smart monitor. The OEM has also indicated that it will unleash new 200Hz and 500Hz monitors during its Computex 2025 showcase.

Gigabyte has also announced that the next generation of its monitors (like its laptop and external GPU counterparts) will be "AI Integrated" with AI Protection, AI-Optimized Visual and AI Tactical Features.

They have been unveiled alongside the company's latest AI TOP Utility 4.0 suite of software, rated to support models of up to 685 billion parameters in completing tasks such as object and character recognition; image sorting and controlling edge devices.

With these innovations, GIGABYTE reinforces its commitment to making AI applications more accessible.

Extending supercomputing to AI edge applications

Coming up first is the AORUS RTX™ 5090 AI BOX, designed to boost laptop performance for gaming, creation, and AI applications. With Thunderbolt 5 and a cutting-edge GPU architecture, it offers up to 3.1x the performance of the previous RTX 4090 GAMING BOX, enabling fast data transfer and versatile use.

The AI TOP ATOM is a compact AI supercomputer based on the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, featuring an integrated CPU-GPU architecture designed for heavy AI workloads. It supports fine-tuning and inference of AI models with up to 70 and 200 billion parameters, scalable via clustering to handle models with up to 405 billion parameters, all while maintaining data privacy and security.

AI Software Transforms Gaming, Creativity, and Productivity experience

To boost the functionality of its AI devices, GIGABYTE has launched a new software suite. AI TOP Utility 4.0 enables machine learning with key features such as image classification, object detection, segmentation, and text recognition—serving various industrial applications. The software supports local inference of models with up to 685 billion parameters. An integrated Model Converter simplifies deployment on edge devices, allowing flexible, scalable use across different hardware setups.

GiMATE, the built-in AI assistant on GIGABYTE’s AI gaming laptops (AORUS MASTER, GIGABYTE AERO, GIGABYTE GAMING series), enhances productivity in various contexts through features like press-and-speak, the GiMATE Creator, and more. Also introduced this year was GiMATE Coder, an intuitive, prompt-based code generation tool that simplifies programming for beginners. It debuted alongside the GIGABYTE GAMING A16 PROGAMING A18, and the versatile GIGABYTE AERO X16—a powerful laptop built for performance on the go.

AI Integration in Gaming Monitors

GIGABYTE is also bringing AI innovation to gaming monitors. Features like AI Tactical FeaturesAI-Optimized Visual, and AI Protection enable faster reactions, clearer images, and intelligent functionality. New models include the M27UP and M27UP ICE with 4K resolution and 160 Hz, switchable to Full-HD at 320 Hz via Tactical Dual Mode. The MO27Q28G features a 280 Hz Meta 3.0 WOLED panel, and the smart M27QS monitor was also revealed. Other variants offer refresh rates from 200 to 500 Hz.

AI-Driven Design for Smart Performance Control

The new AORUS X870 X3D motherboards, including the X870E AORUS MASTERPRO, and ELITE X3D ICE, are available in classic black and white ICE variants. They feature AI-powered X3D Turbo Mode 2, which can intelligently boost system performance by up to 35% based on workload—without manual overclocking or interruptions. For Intel platforms, Z890 motherboards with Ultra Turbo Mode BIOS deliver performance boosts of up to 38%, improving memory and overall efficiency.

The Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE combines performance and design, setting a world record in memory speed through AI-assisted overclocking. The STEALTH ICE series—including the X870 AORUS STEALTH ICEB850 AORUS STEALTH ICE motherboards, AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 STEALTH ICE GPU, and C500 PANORAMIC STEALTH ICE case—offers a reverse-connector layout for cleaner cable management, high compatibility, and a minimalist white aesthetic.

These innovations underscore GIGABYTE’s mission to integrate AI solutions across its entire product range, empowering both consumers and enterprises with new opportunities for productive and creative work in the AI era.
