Question ASUS motherboards ?

[Elliah246]

ASUS ROG Strix B850-A​

versus​

ASUS ROG Strix B850-E​

Any reason to get the more expensive board?
My personal needs are 2x M.2 slots + 2x PCIe slots. That's all. Don't care about things like 5G ethernet or Wifi7.

Question: I will run one GPU + one soundcard + 2 nvme ssds.
Will my GPU run in x8 or in x4 mode with the B850-E ? And how would it run with the B850-A?

Thank you.

My experience has been different.
Maybe because I always registered my boards.
A couple years back one of my prime X570 boards failed a bios update.
Called Asus, Gave them my name and credit card information and they shipped me a new board with a return shipping label for my failed board.
This was my experience ,others have had different ones.
