as long as you update the bios when Zen 3 releases and it shows support youll be fine. Just be mindful that there are limitations on x470 like PCIE 4 and such

I see. So I will probably upgarde my motherboard later but for now to save some bucks would you recommend to stay with the motherboard? Or upgrade everything later? I plan on buying an RTX 3080 for sure.

It's not guaranteed, you'll have to hope Gigabyte provides the BIOS update for it.
MSI has promised to allow all future AM4 CPU's to run on their MAX series boards, so here's hoping from me...

Main: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti, 16 GB 4400 MHz DDR4 Fedora 38 x86_64

Secondary: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Fedora 38 x86_64

Server: AMD Athlon PRO 3125GE, 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 ECC, TrueNAS Core 13.0-U5.1

Home Laptop: Intel Core i5-L16G7, 8 GB 4267 MHz LPDDR4x, Windows 11 Home 22H2 x86_64

Work Laptop: Intel Core i7-10510U, NVIDIA Quadro P520, 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Windows 10 Pro 22H2 x86_64

Not directly supported. But still supported. Gigabyte is a AAA, good company and still has an obligation to have a BIOS update to support Zen 3. Bet you my left nut if they don't release an update for it.

I saw a chipset driver in Asus site with Ryzen 4000 support for my x470 strix so it stands to reason Gigabyte wouldn't let Asus show them up 😐

                          Ryzen 5800X3D(Because who doesn't like a phat stack of cache?) GPU - 7700Xt

                                                           X470 Strix f gaming, 32GB Corsair vengeance, WD Blue 500GB NVME-WD Blue2TB HDD, 700watts EVGA Br

 ~Extra L3 cache is exciting, every time you load up a new game or program you never know what your going to get, will it perform like a 5700x or are we beating the 14900k today? 😅~
