Gigabyte A620M Gaming X

Gigabyte’s A620M Gaming X is an extreme budget option for AM5. While delivering the basics, it lacks PCIe 5.0 support all around, because A620 is more limited than higher-end AMD chipsets. It performed well in lighter tests and gaming, but was slower than average in heavily multi-threaded operations with our Ryzen 9.
