Gigabyte Z590 Vision G Motherboard Review – Empowering Creators With More Bandwidth

The Vision motherboard series debut on the AM4 platform was well-received by the PC building community thanks to its unique white aesthetics and features geared towards creators. The creator-focused vision motherboards are built to have relative performance, expanded connectivity, and fast storage. The latest addition to the Vision series is in the form of Intel’s latest Z590 chipset, the Gigabyte Z590 Vision G motherboard. The Gigabyte Z590 Vision G is a budget variant of the flagship Z590 Vision D motherboard with the same creator-focused feature set.

The Gigabyte Vision G Z590 uses a 12+1-phase VRM which should be more than enough for the flagship Intel Core i9 11900K processor. The VRM configuration uses a Renesas ISL69269 controller with 60A SIC649A DrMOS MOSFETs.

Like the ROG Z590-E motherboard we reviewed, the Gigabyte Z590 Vision G supports DDR4 speeds up to 5,333Mhz when overclocked with an Intel 11th Gen Processor. ECC Memory is supported on 1Rx8/2Rx8 memory modules but will operate in non-ECC mode.

Red-colored USB ports are 3.2 Gen 2 ports while the 4 blue colored ports are USB 3.1 Gen 1. One of the Two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports supports video out and is a Gen 2×2 port. The rest of the I/O are your standard Ethernet port, HDMI port, Display port, and surprisingly a legacy PS/2 port.
