There was a new BIOS released for the Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Master: F20b

I have tried it, fired up GTA V , no BSODS but game crashing within 5 minutes, tried it three times, 3 times crashed in 15 minutes. (no errors or other traces of crashing)
Knowing I just changed the BIOS I reverted back to the F8 BIOS, no more game crashes now....

I mean it's a brand with a bad reputation for most of the stuff they produce. Their reputation at AMD was very bad, but I have also often read negative things about other parts they produce. So I think this is useful to know, nothing more.

Personally I have a good experience with their motherboards since 2006, my current board is a high-end E-ATX one, a quality board and you know it when you feel/see it... ;)

Every brand has it's lower quality line or duds... Not just Gigabyte...

This is your personal opinion. I've had good experience with the motherboards. Not sure how saying GB is bad for AMD has much to do with there Intel products. Different division. Just like the GPUs.

Every brand has it's up and downs. I hated the Z490 Vision I bought, but think the X570 Aero G is good.

GPU wise I liked the GTX 1070 I bought. Hated the 3080 Eagle.
