EVGA reveals its 2nd AMD Ryzen motherboard, the X570 FTW WIFI
Yes, EVGA's $499.99 pricing for this motherboard is far from mainstream, but with this board, EVGA has created something that is much better suited to most high-end Ryzen users. For starters, this board has four DIMM slots, compared to the X570 DARK's two, two PCIe 4.0 enabled M.2 slots and eight SATA ports.
Cooling-wise, this motherboard features a finstack VRM heatsink and a fanless chipset heatsink design, differentiating EVGA's design from most older X570 offerings.
For WIFI, EVGA's X570 FTW WIFI uses Intel's AC200 Wi-Fi 6 controller and Bluetooth 5.2 module for connectivity, and standard Gigabit ethernet. Sadly, EVGA has not splashed out on 2.5GbE or higher-end ethernet standards.
On the board's rear I/O, EVGA has given its X570 FTW WIFI two UGB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports (5Gbps), two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports (10Gbps), and a single USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port (10Gbps). EVGA has also confirmed that their X570 FTW motherboard also supports Resizable BAR.

Asus make boards for £500+ too. Crosshair Dark Hero is £489. Formula is £529 down from £599. Aorus Extreme is £729.
So tbh given the feature set and materials? it's about right.
I don't even remember the last time EVGA made a cheap board. I do remember, however, that they were absolute garbage. So maybe that is why they aren't bothering this time around. What you get here is a beautiful board stacked with features. IDK how it will fare come review time, but right now yeah it doesn't seem that bad if you are in the market for that sort of board.
EVGA stopped trying to compete with Taiwan et al. They stood no chance. What they've done instead is carve out a niche at the high end.
Hopefully they will give out some review samples.Quote
