Loaded up LM Studio and had no problem running Gemma 4 26B, and Quen3.5 35B. Dramatically better performance than the B580. Perfect timing with the LM Link launch, now our humble little laptops can run the big (local) models. Quick test on Cyberpunk, near maxed out with RT on, at 3440x1440 about 70 FPS, or 120 FPS with frame gen if that's your thing. AC Shadows, Ultra Preset w/ RT on, 3440x1440, 38 FPS, or 68 FPS w/ frame gen. GPU @ 75°C RedDead2, Ultra everything, 3440x1440, 70-90+ FPS depending on location. Ran a handful of other games I had installed without issues.

16 GB of ECC VRAM allows for larger LLMs and context windows Needs only 70w of total board power (no external power connector required) Low cost compared to what Nvidia is offering

32GB VRAM ITs not a cutdown 9070 XT, its 98% the same speed in gaming and obviously much greater for large memory applications like pytorch/generative ai. Still boosts right up to 3ghz, can be undervolted, no stupid zero rpm fan idle Fan defaults to a silent 1000rpm idle and unlike most blower gpus it really doesnt need to ramp up path 50% pwm (2500rpm) to cool a sustained 300w. Games exactly like a 9070 xt.

- Easy to setup - Plenty of Support - Works on Ubuntu/Win11 easily Ollama/LM Studio - Gemma 4:26b - Flux 2

6 PCI-e Gen 4 slots that are always x16/x16 (The 7th may have fewer or be disabled entirely depending on how you configure other options) Technical support was excellent. William replied quickly and kept replying quickly until my issue was resolved. IPMI for remote administration. 2 x 10 gigabit ethernet ports may potentially free up a PCIe slot depending on your needs. Supports "Above 4G Decoding". This feature might be common now, but its absence will prevent motherboards from being able to use some Data Center GPUs.

- IPMI - Supports ECC

- Good packaging from Newegg, just a smallish box with no branding on the outside. - Obviously it performs quite well. Will use the full 600W under load (but you can limit wattage using `nvidia-smi`). Have a good PSU with a 600W connector (not included) and very good airflow setup. - Working in Arch Linux with just `nvidia-open` and `nvidia-utils` packages.





+Plenty of included fans +Actual EATX support, with holes for standoffs in positions for various MB configurations so board is properly secured to the chassis +Lots of space to work in +Price

Small, sturdy design Nice looking face plate

- Ease of setup - Speed / functionality



-lots of parts -very flexable motherboard mounts -easy to work in -comes with pc speaker


- Stays cool even through rigorous stress testing - Crushes large datasets and point cloud processing - Incredibly efficient, completes all my work I used to do on a rtx 4070 super with no sacrifices or penalties. - Gaming capable, could run Arc Raiders on Epic Settings with no struggles at 60fps

IPMI alone has to be the biggest feature! Board looks built to last decades
