Are you sure they're priced identically? Since no costs were provided, I'm uncertain unless they match. If they do, I'd choose the gigabyte option.
The price isn't the same; a gigabyte costs about $50 more when memory is included. I've checked many Today articles, but the details are a bit fuzzy.
The Gigabyte boards faced significant DDR5 challenges. They seem resolved now, though I recall it was a major problem previously. I’d also mention the MSI Tomahawk or MSI Edge if you prefer RGB options. The Tomahawk boards have proven reliable, and MSI has delivered strong memory support since Intel’s 12th Gen launch. Buildzoid frequently praised MSI over most alternatives (z690/790). Asus is solid too, but tends to be pricier and sometimes carries extra costs.
They updated their memory layout using the Z790, surpassing ASUS in performance on their Z790 boards (especially with the more affordable 6-layer ones, their 8-layer boards should match up fairly well). This assessment comes from G.Skill's QVL testing, which shows higher kits work better on the Z790 Aorus Elite compared to the Z790-P.
