They discovered that Gigabyte boards show substantial performance improvements in certain games over other brands, when paired with an RTX 4090. Primarily this was in Horizon Zero Dawn.  Ultimately, they determined that the Gigabyte boards had resizable bar turned off whereas all other boards had it turned on.
