    This looks hideous.

    TUF wasn't designed to be pretty (But I do agree, it's not the best looking board...)

    Strix and ROG are supposed to be prettier boards

    Who cares? It's a motherboard.

    Was there any X570 "gaming oriented" motherboard with a 10 Gigabits NIC shown at Computex ?

    I'm not complaining but why the heck does a TUF (ie value segment) board have a temp probe hole in the socket? That's an LN2 overclocking feature!

    what is terrible is the TUF branding was originally a higher then normal end board (not enthusiast, certainly not standard) now they seem to be like the Atom of the Motherboard world..

    see me, I would do ROG TUF then the variant i.e ROG is a premium end, and the TUF branding should have been like pinfarnia, Hennesey and others that take a "stock design" and juice it up quite a bit, well, ROG is supposed to be juice up more than normal high end stuff, so why oculd the TUF variant not be the "modern" special stuff ASUS has done over the years like Matix, Hero, Ares and so forth.....

    I not sure why ANY company would have 4+ all occupying the same space and very near identical features etc..just to take up space on the shelf and seem more important because from here to china is only one brand with a gazillion editions?

    ^.^

    as far as the 10GBE...am pretty sure that is likely to be the "last" thing they chase (very expensive addition to the end consumer) when the normal one is something like 1/30 the cost (something stupid like that) for me and you .01c means little, for them, that .01c might have to be $20 to add to the BOM cost.

    anyways, there were a few that have the 10GBE Aquantis, one was using Killer something or other NIC (current top variant...AsRock I want to say)

    That's Asus for you. Market segmentation and skimping on the VRM (at least the cooling).
