Z77 RoG Boards?

Animalosity

Hi all, pretty new to the ASUS RoG community. I bought a G74SX and in my desktop currently running a Crosshair V with an 1100T.

My main question because i'd like to think of myself as a pretty experienced builder and enthusiast, but I can't for the life of me find any news for Ivy Bridge boards that ASUS has to offer. Especially any new RoG boards. I fully plan on purchasing a 3770k since Intel has officially dominated the CPU benchmarks since the ever popular 1155 sockets became mainstream.

Do you all think that I should just go ahead and get a Maximus Z68 board or does anyone have any news on the new chipset? I realize that Gigabyte and MSI have some boards they showed at CES 2012 and really from what I gather is that the only main difference in them is native PCIe 3.0 support which in tests doesn't really benefit my HD 7970 a whole lot more. Again all speculation and testing anyways and I'm well aware that there are many room for improvements, but I just wanted some advice since I'm pretty confident that I'm going to wait till April to get my new CPU since my 1100 is running like a champ, but quickly aging. I know several might suggest the 2500k or the Ivy Bridge equivalent, but I really want a RoG board too. Thoughts?

There is a NDA in force at present. And those folks who might know something are not able to comment. And those folks who do comment are most likely sucking stuff out of their thumbs. The thing to remember is that the new CPU's are only due sometime in the 2Q of 2012 beyond that who can say.

Guess you are just going to have to make that call blind. Sorry mate.
