[SOLVED] X470 vs x570

Solution
Its straight for gaming
And can spend up to 220 bucks on the mobo
If gaming is the only consideration then that Tomahawk Max is a perfect fit for a 3700X (MSI's Max line was designed specifically for Ryzen 3000 chips, btw, so the BIOS is perfect for one out of the box). Put the $100 or so saved towards a step-up in GPU and you'll definitely have a better gaming experience than any X470, or especially X570, could offer at the same total system dollar-cost outlay.

If you've already got a 2080ti (or whatever) then take the SO out for a dinner. Maybe they'll mind it less when you spend all your time in the game instead of paying them attention.
Generally:
X470X570
PCIe Gen 2+, not PCIe Gen 4
USB 3.1 Gen2 and lower
Requires BIOS update for Ryzen 3000
PCIe Gen 4
USB 3.2 Gen2
Out of the box Ryzen 3000 ready

Roughly the same just newer board optimisations and tweaks but it's largely related to the new PCIe and USB gen.
You can also go B450 if you wanted.
 
Can someone tell the deffirence between 470 and 570 motherboards
I'm planing to build a pc with ryzen 7 3700x

A careful reading of X570 board specifications will tell you what PC Tailor did: basically, you get PCIe gen 4 support to the PCIe and M.2 slots. Not much you can do with that, though, as not even NVME drives (Gen 4) really benefit in anything more than synthetic benchmarks. But it IS something at least.

What the spec's rarely say though: X570's in general have very robust VRM designs with sometimes exceptional cooling. At least you get that for the much higher cost, but 3700X CPU's really don't need it. That kind of VRM support is needed for 3900X's...and of course 3950X's...when attempting all-core overclocks.

Don't rule out B450's. I have my 3700X sitting on a B450 Mortar and it peforms perfectly well, boosting to 4.4Ghz on three cores and memory clocked to 3600, CAS14. You don't need to buy expensive to get great performance out of your new Ryzen processor.

Thx for the clarification.
So you suggest that I get a b450
Between the three? (470,570,b450)

To save a few bucks I'd suggest a B450 Tomahawk Max... it comes with a Ryzen 3000-ready BIOS out of the box. But that's a budget-only consideration that won't compromise performance. Recommending between one or the other depends on what your expectations are and how you plan on using it as well as budget.
 
Oki it's getting too complicated for me loo
I will get the Asus X470 f gaming
Will it work with Ryzen7 3700 and rtx 270 super?
