AMD X570
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I'm upgrading my r5 3600 to a 5800xt and using a x570. I think it has more PCIE 4 connections and USB 3.1 ports vs a b550.
- I'd get a B550 or X570. B450 isn't ideal, since it only supports PCIE 3.0, which isn't ideal with the 5060 ti's limited to only X8 pcie lanes and can noticeably reduce GPU performance.
Cons
- A X570 with a better VRM would be good for overclocking, but you mentioned you are not doing that. The RTX 5080 does support PCIe 4, so your AI models might run a little better, but I'm not sure it would be $200 worth better.
- My current setup is a Ryzen 3700X, X570, 32GB RAM, and a 2070 Super. I plan to keep the video card so I'm really only looking at doing a CPU/Mobo and maybe RAM replacement.
- So the question is, is it worth getting an X570 over a B550 for the new system for use with a 5950X/5080/990Pro/64GB DDR4 3200Mhz? X570 board prices seem a bit high with the good ones going for £150-200, I'm assuming they've had the same...
- I’ve seen options like B450, B550, X570, Z690, and I have no clue which one is best for my situation.
