ASUS ProArt Showcase (Monitors and Motherboards)

For Creators, the triple GPU support plus Quad M.2 support is nice to have

...so it is clearly targeted at a more professional audience, as the name implies.

…a board aimed at creatives, where they combine both 10 gigabit Ethernet and Thunderbolt 4 on one board. So if you want both, that's the motherboard to go for.
