We’re going to take a look at this flagship X570 board from ASUS and see whether it’s worthy of a spot in your next AMD PC build.

The MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus is not only the cheapest motherboard in the series, but also the cheapest ATX gaming motherboard from the manufacturer. Since it is actually identical to the MSI B550-A PRO, you can ask yourself the question “What makes a gaming mainboard anyway?”. If you look at the differences between the two boards, a mainboard is only suitable for gaming if it has a cool look or lighting.

ASUS ProArt X570-Creator WiFi is the third Creator board aimed at media content developers who are satisfied with the existing AMD AM4 processors, but need a full range of high-speed ports and interfaces. Earlier, we studied options based on Intel Z490 and AMD B550 chipsets, and this time we have a model based on AMD’s flagship chipset – X570. The motherboard also features a completely passive mode of operation, the most powerful power subsystem, extended support and the ability to work in 24/7 mode.

Gigabyte’s audio implementations usually impress, and the X570S does again. Purists will swear by discrete DACs, or 3rd party solutions, but with a decent ALC1220-VB audio codec and ESS Sabre Hi-Fi 9118 DAC for headphones, along with Chemicon and WIMA audio capacitors, gamers listening to bullets and bombs rather than Bach will be happy.

It’s clear that ASRock is the partner manufacturer of the N7 B550; upon entering the BIOS for the first time, you’re presented with a re-skinned ASRock BIOS. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. ASRock’s AM4 BIOS’ might not include every option under the sun, but it means the N7 B550 is easy to navigate. NZXT’s first motherboards came with a barely functional BIOS, and highlighted the company’s naivety about this segment of PC hardware.

The Asus ProArt B550 Creator is, as the name implies, designed with the content creator in mind. It sports dual Thunderbolt 4 ports (still a rarity among AMD boards), DisplayPort input, dual 2.5 GbE, as well a VRM capable of supporting our Ryzen 9 5950X CPU at stock and while overclocked. While looks aren’t at the top of the list, the board’s black color and gold accents fit in with most build themes, but aren’t likely a focal point considering the lack of RGB lighting.

In E-ATX format , this card is therefore intended to be the ASUS flagship on the AMD X570 chipset based on the AMD AM4 socket . Indeed, as its name suggests, the EXTREME series are still the best equipped cards. Big good point which is not all new either, we find a 2-inch OLED screen on which we can display various information. Here we will therefore have no less than five slots for SSD in M.2 format PCIe 4.0 compatible including the ROG DIMM.2 , two USB 3.2 Gen 2 × 2 headers for the front panel and two Thunderblot 4 ports operating at 40 Gbps. For the network part, we will have a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port via a Marvell AQtion controller and a second 2.5 Gigabit port. Of course, WiFi 6E is part of the game.

We have a solid platform for gamers. It perfectly meets the needs of the latest titles without worrying about the level of graphics settings. With everything at maximum, the framerate in 1440p is between 95 and 163 frames per second which is perfect. We consider 90 frames per second to be the upper limit for high end hardware. The switch to 4K has consequences since the number of images per second drops. We have a framerate between 62 and 112.2 fps. The results are still positive, we remain above 60 images per second.
