Here's the comparison http://www.gigabyte.com/products/comparison/list.aspx?ck=2&pids=4959,4966,4953 The differences are the Marvell RAID controller and some extra Overclock controls and interfaces. Pretty much everything else is the same. The Gaming 5 is THE price/performance leader at it's market point. The Gaming 7 is not better enough for me. Upvote 0 Downvote
