In a media release, Gigabyte said "we have found that Asus has been doing some cheating".
Gigabyte claims that "out of curiosity" it tested the Asus PSAD2 Premium board and discovered a setting called Peg Link Mode. "This setting clandestinely oveclocks the frequency of memory and core engines of ATI based PCI Express Graphics," Gigabyte alleged. "It was also found that Peg Link Mode is not an enhancement feature for [the] motherboard, as it provides enhancement only to the graphics card"s memory and core engine frequency, ostensibly with the sole purpose to obtain higher benchmark results on 3D graphics".
