I’m considering purchasing the EVGA X299 DARK but noticed it doesn’t mention compatibility with an Intel 9th generation chip. I need to confirm if it supports that processor before deciding, or look for an alternative motherboard if necessary.

X299 is compatible. Ensure you use an X-series CPU; the 9900K won't fit. Check the website for confirmation.

It's unclear why you'd prefer one option over another; each has its own benefits depending on your needs.
