Gigabyte Vision D announced. Likely to be over $300 since Gigabyte is holding it in higher regard than the Master.

Obviously someone whose loaded.But wtf is a "creator"?
That's a gorgeous board.
But wtf is a "creator"?
Edit: also what's with the bright orange SATA socket and red chokes(?) at the bottom? ruins the otherwise clean look :/
A new term for someone who creates a lot of money.But wtf is a "creator"?
Motherboards have become laughably expensive. I'm holding out for a reasonably priced b550.

From my understanding for me its ideal for people that only want 1 gpu, and 1 m.2 at 4.0x speeds. Im also not overly interested in manual overclocking anymore just let boost do its thing, got my eye on the 3900x unless something else is definitely released soon.I guess you will get some people thinking B550 is the latest new model so must be better then X570 range, throw in some very high B550 prices and some consumers will either be confused or think it must be better.

I would also like 2.5gbe be handy for connecting to the NAS which has it.
Some of the top boards have better features than X570, better components, enough of PCIE 4gen lanes for average user/future, no fan, why would they be cheaper or worse than X570.
If you take similar boards I would assume B550 would still be cheaper, but for some people expectation is that they were supposed to cost the same price as B450. Why? You need cheap get B450, you want better components with PCIE4 get B550. Just don't get it when some think they should get all the features for cheap price. They cost more, PCIE4 boards costs more, you have better LAN and again B450 is not useless just lower quality...for cheaper price if that is what people want.
For the moment it looks like X570 is only needed if you need more PCIE lanes, if you don't, there is no need for X570. So when someone says "for the same price I'd rather get X570" it is not the case for me, I'd rather get B550, which has top quality components and features I would use.
X570 is more future proof though, that said most people buying PCIe gen 4 boards oddly buy gen 3 nvmes.If you take similar boards I would assume B550 would still be cheaper, but for some people expectation is that they were supposed to cost the same price as B450.

Majority of people still use 1 SSD just for boot drive Future proof just with PCIE4 extra lanes is questionableX570 is more future proof though, that said most people buying PCIe gen 4 boards oddly buy gen 3 nvmes.
I think future proof is questionable for any of these boards right now with DDR5 around the corner which is why I went for a cheaper B450 as I intend to jump on AM5 in a couple of years.Majority of people still use 1 SSD just for boot drive Future proof just with PCIE4 extra lanes is questionable
Exactly, that is a good point. People will be drawn to new platform soon.I think future proof is questionable for any of these boards right now with DDR5 around the corner which is why I went for a cheaper B450 as I intend to jump on AM5 in a couple of years.

Sorry, don't understand so B550 is bad.A couple of years is a long time, AM5 likely won't be out until 2022. I'd rather have a good featured and good performing board that will make the most of Zen3 in the meantime.
