Johnathan Wendel’s Take on the Fatal1ty AN8 SLI

As a gamer I know how frustrating it is when you get fragged because your computer dropped a few frames or froze just as you were coming around that corner. Of course skill is the most important factor in gaming, but the performance of your hardware can hold back even the best gamer and make the difference between winning and coming in second.

That's why the ABIT Engineers and I have designed a motherboard that is truly designed for gamers. The Fatal1ty AN8 SLi was built with one purpose only; to be the fastest, highest performing motherboard available. Features that gamers don't use were removed from the board, freeing up performance and allowing us to add features that you would actually use.

It's one less thing for you to worry about. That way you can focus on your game and not your hardware."
