Gigabyte has taken the wraps off the new Gigabyte B550 Vision D motherboard for creators. The industrial design looks immediately appealingly minimal, utilitarian and monochromatic (with no RGB frills) for what is necessarily such a complicated PC component. Gigabyte says the new motherboard will deliver "reliable performance, impressive connectivity, expandable on graphics, and ultra-fast storage for creators to deal with heavy design workloads such as video editing and 3D rendering." Key features include AMD Ryzen 3rd gen processor support out of the box, a 14-phase VRM, support for up to 128GB of ECC & Non-ECC RAM (4-slots), and strong wireless/wired networking on board.
The officially highlighted key features of the Gigabyte B550 Vision D motherboard for AMD AM4 processors is as follows, you can find a full run down of the specs on the official product pages too.
