Our review of the EVGA X570 Dark will be coming very soon - it arrived a couple of days ago and is currently on our testbed! Although it has plenty of features for a daily Ryzen 5000 based system, the hope is that it provides the substance for extreme overclockers looking to push Ryzen 5000 silicon to its limits. This isn't a cheap motherboard, but overclocking-focused motherboards such as this come at a hefty premium. The EVGA X570 Dark is currently available to purchase directly from the EVGA website for $690. Other features include a Realtek ALC1220 HD audio codec backed by EVGA's NU audio solution, eight 4-pin cooling headers, a passively cooled chipset heatsink, and two USB 3.2 G2 Type-A, four USB 3.2 G1 Type-A, and one USB 3.2 G2 Type-C port on the rear panel. Looking at PCIe support, EVGA includes two full-length PCIe 4.0 slots operating at x16 and x8/x8, with a half-length PCIe 3.0 x4 slot. Some of the most notable features of the EVGA X570 Dark include voltage monitoring points at the top of the board, as well as a variety of switches to enable/disable features that might be critical to sub-zero overclocking stability.įor end-users wanting to have a daily system, there are dual PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots, eight SATA ports with support for RAID 0, 1, and 10 arrays, as well as 2.5 GbE wired and Wi-Fi 6 wireless networking. Providing power to the CPU is a pair of 8-pin 12 V ATX CPU power inputs. It is using active VRM cooling with two cooling fans and uses a 10-layer PCB design. It's a slightly different design to accommodate the transposed socket as it stretches around the bottom of the AM4 socket. All the major power connectors are also at right angles, to be less of an issue when extreme overclocking for records.ĮVGA uses a 16-phase power delivery organized into a 14+2 configuration, with fourteen premium 90 A power stages for the CPU section.

One of the most notable design characteristics includes a transposed AM4 CPU socket for better support when mounting an LN2 (liquid nitrogen) pot, and an empty CPU socket area to minimize risks when insulating for sub-ambient cooling. The EVGA X570 Dark, as expected, is primarily suited to extreme overclockers, with a variety of performance-enhancing features across the large E-ATX sized PCB. The EVGA X570 Dark benefits from a large premium 17-phase power delivery (14+2+1) designed for pushing Ryzen 5000 to its limits and support for up to DDR4-4800 out of the box across two memory slots to minimize latency. Fast forward to now, and that dream of an EVGA model for AMD's Ryzen processors led by in-house engineer and extreme overclocker Vince 'KINGPIN' Lucido is now a reality. The algorithm for scaling in Photoshop is the same used in Scratch.Back in July, we reported that EVGA was teasing its first AMD-based motherboard since the AM2+ days. Maybe you could do the same scaling on that image with both apps so we can see if one algorithm is better? That grid is to distort the image in the scaling process. So, if you make something small enough, you can't see it.Well you can zoom. Anyway, here's Photoshop's scaling: And here's Gimp's scaling: Gimp has a grid that gets in the way, as you can see. Although I agree photoshop has a better visual interface for it, I'd assume the algorithms in gimp are top notch.I'd assume the opposite. Today, I switched back to Photoshop again, and it's much easier.Some of the tools are more visual, including the scale tool.The scale tool in Photoshop is a lot easier to use and the actual scaling algorithm they use looks much better.Source?…experience? How can you have a source for it looking better? Reviews and stuff maybe? Just saying cuz I couldn't find anything on the Internet that said photoshop has a better scale tool. Then, I had to switch back to Gimp, because Photoshop wouldn't transfer right. I switched from Gimp to Photoshop, and Photoshop feels more intuitive.
