Will EVGA Make an Z890 MB?

Sadly, no.
 
 

I'm having issues with the latest BIOS.   Anything in my bottom PCI slot (Which is a PCI Gen 3 fiber based NIC in my case) doesn't work after the update on the kingpin mobo.  If I switch to an older BIOS revision, it comes right back.  I'm going to have to flash back to 1.20 since I need that NIC working.  I'd move it up a slot, but I don't want to split lanes with my 4090.

I suggest you open case with EVGA support.

Already done.  :-)

I have the same problem as you, and it's the same on Z790 CLASSIFIED, using the bottom PCIE interface. I'm using a PCIE to U.2 adapter card. Unfortunately, I tried multiple BIOSes and couldn't solve it.

Thank you sopipari and minwoo520 as I have asked my team to check on the bottom PCI-e slot with the latest version.
 
Update - 10/17/2024:
I have attempted to recreate the same behavior and am unable to recreate this as the card tested works ok in the bottom slots. 
 
Can you please help to email me at cbencivenga@evga.com with a complete list of your hardware configuration as well as some pictures of the BIOS screen so we can see the detected devices?  I will be awaiting your response to look into this further.

This problem has existed in several previous BIOSes and has not been fixed. Including Z790 CLASSIFIED and DARK because I own both motherboards. When I use PCIE X4 with these two motherboards and use PCIE adapter cards, the U.2 SSD on the adapter card cannot be recognized or does not work. I have no problems working on Z690 DARK motherboard

I have a AverMedia Live Gamer 4K in my bottom slot and it works fine here on my Z790 Dark.

Chris,
 
I have sent you a detailed e-mail with everything you are asking for including screen shots from both 1.20 and 1.21 with the card working and not working.  It's 100% related to the BIOS (or Intel's new microcode) as I can reproduce and fix the issue with a literal flip of the bios switch.  The 10gig NIC refuses to configure when it's on 1.21, it's fine on 1.20.  As I indicated in my e-mail, I've made sure everything with windows is up to date and I have also ensured I have the latest intel chipset INI loaded.  The NIC drivers are built into windows, I've tried to load the win10 drivers from the manufacturer for giggles, but nothing changes.
