Gigabyte Z490 VISION G review
New vision, new looks and sure, more value.

In this review, we look at the Gigabyte Z490 VISION G (also available in Vision D dark design). The new series is aimed to become the more affordable solution at 199 USD, it might not have AX WIFI, but still has that intel 2.5 Gbps ethernet jack and all the standards you need. That and some pretty fancy design choices from an aesthetic point of view. Ready for 10h Gen processors this board is about performance and aesthetics, the CPU socket has a metal reinforced 6+8-pin connectors. The dual pin connectors already indicate a strong VRM, and this motherboard as such has 12+1 phases backed by 50A power stages (ISL69269 PWM). Gigabyte applies a fancy white design with dark-colored PCB. It has two hidden M2 slots and on visible, so three of them. The motherboard has been fitted with the usual suspects and then some, including a 2.5 Gigabit ethernet and then WIFI6 in the form of AX. When it comes to audio you will run into an ALC 1220-VB Codec from Realtek. 

With the new Comet Lake-S you can expect a handful of K model processors predominantly become popular in demand for the PC gamer, as each and every one of the processors will offer proper gaming performance if your graphics card is fast enough. Intel is able to boost the Turbo frequencies towards that 5.3 GHz domain for the flagship processor, the Core i9 10900K. Intel is releasing these series processors initially with a spread of CPU core choices:

  • Core i5-10500K (4 Core / 8 Threads)
  • Core i5-10600K (6 Core / 12 Threads)
    • Core i7-10700K (8 Core / 16 Threads)
    • Core i9-10900K (10 Core / 20 Threads)
    For this review, we'll check out this Z490 motherboard with a ten-core / twenty threads Core i9 10900K and take it through our benchmark paces. You'll be able to tweak this proc towards at least 5.2 GHz on all ten cores with this motherboard. In this review, we look at the Gigabyte Z490 VISION G, and yes that means there are other models as well, including an Vision D (Dark) version. The board as stated is positioned in a mainstream region of what is considered the high-end segment, it does look very uniquely styled, stuff we like of course. Also, the new board has some interesting new features Have a peek, and then let's head onwards into the review my man. And yes, please be advised that white is a bit hard to photograph.

    Gigabyte B550 Vision D review
    Meet the Gigabyte B550 Vision D motherboard. This product from the Vision series (which includes also a Z490 motherboard) is an AMD AM4 socket product targeted at creators. Built in the ATX form-factor, the design resembles GB’s Designaire models. Make no mistake, this is a high-end product. It should provide excellent stability, and boasts features not to be found in cheaper models.
