Will it fit a Graphics card that has a backplate like any of the MSI Armor cards? I have the Z390I and It doesnt on this version... I had to cut and sand to make it fit.

The ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-I GAMING motherboard has a single PCI Express 3.0 x16 expansion slot. There is no mention in the provided product information about specific compatibility with graphics cards that have a backplate, such as MSI Armor cards. It may be advisable to check physical dimensions and clearance requirements, or consult the manufacturer's website or support for detailed compatibility information.

Why are these Asus Motherboards 50% more expensive than last year's Z390 series?

New chipset. New CPU..... More technology. What did you expect? You are paying for that AND paying for ASUS reliability.
