some things differ but not to a big degree the EVGA Graphics card has think higher clock speeds than the Asus card and the Ram Im not sure of the difference and was not able to find out a lot on the Gigabyte mobo

Seems to be doing great so far ... haven't really tested it much just been playing ark survival

I installed the: ASUS Dual-Band Wireless-AC1900 PCI-E Adapter (PCE-AC68)
into my Vanquish 4 and it works great.  Router downstairs - computer upstairs with great signal. 

I put it into the vacant PCI-E x4 slot instead of the x1 slot to give the video card some breathing space. Yes, a x1 card can go into the x4 slot.

You can attach the antennas directly to the card or use supplied base to move the antennas to a better spot (plus the base is magnetic so I just stuck it to the side of the case)



Congrats on the purchase!!! I'm loving mine.

P.S. Anyone who might use this, download and install the Windows 10 driver from Asus before installing the card.  I installed driver, then the card and the system started using the wifi card on reboot without any notification or troubles.

I transitioned from a laptop that used USB wifi to my new desktop. I didn't want the stick to take up a valuable USB 3 port, so I bought this card instead. It works flawlessly.

Definitely more pricey than a USB nub, but you are getting a quality build that plugs direclty into the MB.

Most places allow a return within 30 days - check with whoever you are considering buying from...

If you do get it, then be sure and download and install the Windows 10 64bit driver before physically installing the card: https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/PCEAC68/HelpDesk_Download/

Don't use the included disc.  There are two versions: a non EU and only EU driver.
If in USA use the "It is for all sku except EU"
