EVGA is a very popular vendor for GeForce graphics cards. And although not as popular as its GPUs, the firm has also been making motherboards for a long time too. So far it has only ever built Intel motherboards but that could change very soon according to a new teaser put out by the company.

The tweet that contains the teaser reads "A new Darkness is coming..." suggesting some upcoming product. In the teaser itself, there is a text written in bold that says "DARK" and has a Ryzen halo - the one you find in Ryzen's logo - behind it.

Around a couple of weeks ago, we learned that EVGA - which is generally popular as an Nvidia GeForce graphics card vendor - would be making motherboards for AMD Ryzen processors as the company put out a teaser indicating that the new AMD board would be based on the vendor's DARK series of motherboards.

Today we have the first picture of the upcoming DARK X570S board, courtesy of Vince Lucido, who is an extreme overclocker at KINGPIN Cooling, the sub-brand of EVGA under which the firm releases the fastest clocked GeForce GPUs.

Here's what the upcoming EVGA DARK AMD motherboard looks like

Vince Lucido of Kingpin has teased what appears to be the upcoming EVGA motherboard for AMD. The board will be based on the X570S chipset and will reportedly be launching sometime in Q3 this year.

About a couple of weeks back, EVGA released a teaser showing an upcoming DARK-branded product for what appeared to be a new motherboard for AMD's Ryzen processors. The teaser contained an image with the distinct Ryzen halo confirming the finding. Two days ago, we were teased with a photo of the board itself (image below) showing the underside of the product with the DARK logo plastered against the black PCB.

Today, we are apparently in for a glimpse of the performance of the board itself as the upcoming DARK X570S board was reportedly tested using an early BIOS version 0.10, and it seemingly does quite well in terms of memory overclocking. The Trident Z Royal dual-channel 16GB DDR4-4000 memory kit was reportedly used here and the DRAM was apparently able to overclock all the way up to 2467MHz, which totals 4933MT/s. The CAS latency (CL) achieved on the kit looks excellent too with timings of 14-13-11-21. A Geekbench 3 run was also completed indicating that the system is at least somewhat stable.

Perhaps the most exciting detail in this test is the use of the 6-core Ryzen 5 5600G "Cezanne" APU. The integrated memory controller (IMC) on the Zen 3 architecture that forms the base of all Ryzen 5000 processors has been immensely improved since last-gen and it now allows for very high RAM speeds, something that is quintessential for integrated graphics performance.

EVGA X570S DARK AMD motherboard performing magnificently in alleged early testing

The upcoming EVGA DARK AMD X570S motherboard - which was teased recently -has apparently been tested today and the preliminary memory overclocking performance of the board seems pretty great.
