New 590 boards

[potomak]

Now I recognize that among the 590 line there are a number of boards that find themselves to be near identical, with the evga and foxconn boards standing out as decent examples.

Evga - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813188008

Foxconn - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813186098

But now, seemingly right under my nose, we have the BFG and XFX variants. I don't think they're even trying to hide the fact that it's the exact same board (fine, copy the layout... but must you keep making black motherboards? why?)

BFG - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813189002

XFX - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813141001

Given the lack of reviews on any of these aside from the foxconn, should one just be indifferent between these boards? There are slightly different price/warranty policies among the boards, but does anyone even know what the BIOS support is on some of these newer ones? The XFX one seems terribly new - no reviews on newegg, can't find anything on the internets, and XFX's page on it is, well, sad. I'm considering picking up either the BFG or the XFX board just to see how it works out, being as apparently no one else has.

Any thoughts?

This would be my first choice.

Previous XFX boards had little to no overclocking features.
BFG would be my second just because of there support.(I have no Idea if the board is any good)
Foxconn would be my Last choice.

All boards should run stock Just fine.

its just nvidia's suggested layout or whatever... same idea as their video cards just brought to mobos. i really wouldnt think their bios' are very different. possibly identical as well.

yes, it is the referencelayout from nvidia, and it is noch good you cant use for example the scythe ninja or infinity with 4 ram-modules, because the heatpipes blocks one ramslot..
