UEFI Features
We have seen several implementations of the new UEFI BIOS from the standard AMI layout to a fully skinned version with pretty colors, fancy menus and the same basic AMI layout under the hood.
EVGA has taken a midway approach to their UEFI implementation by adding a graphical top menu and changing the colors to black and white with red highlights. We actually like the layout since it resembles the EVGA website but the design just feels unfinished and a little rough around the edges. Despite this all of the features are clearly laid out under the respective category with sub menus indicated by an arrow.
Below are some of the most interesting screens in no particular order.

As with all BIOS menus it is a good idea to root around and identify all of the settings you are looking for and discover what their dependencies might be. We found that several settings were hidden from view and not clearly labeled such as the overclocking profiles which were found in the Save/Exit menu instead of in the Overclocking section where they should be.
