so far my fav is the Asus M3A79-T deluxe(8+2 Phase) ..My MA790GP-DS4H(4+1 Phase) Gigabyte board does well also...

Edit: I did read very well lol...Those 2 boards I mentioned are X-Fire boards not SLI.

any reason for the Nvidia boards ?

mmm to be hones I have never used Ati cards and for what I have seen the GTX 280 performs better than a 4780x2 , but then again I could be wrong .

[LC_Nab]

By all means enlighten me I dont know much about Ati nor crossfire .

hmm just because some nvidia cards perform better than ati doesn't mean that applies for the mobo chipsets..

True true , can you run sli with the non nvidia boards ?

I don't think so, so I says the foxconn destroyer then, or the asus one.

I like the Foxconn A79-S with 2-3 Ati Cards - with 3 4870 or 4 4850 you will have more than enough firepower :D :D :D

nvidia chipsets for AMD are far better IMHO than AMD's at the moment , better USB+SATA performance as well as RAID performance. Only drawback is their heat output , but we take care of than in xtremesystems :D

Well not to be a :banana::banana::banana::banana: but if you go to 3dmark-06 thread we have the nvidia rigs and the ati rigs score posted and the score posted by the nivdia
rig they just suck big time . Just one rig in the 18,000 point range than 2 in the 16,000 and 3 in 15,000 point range .So untill the Nvidia Phenom
rigs can post some number show there better than the all ATI rigs i have to say the ATI chips set and video cards make the best Phonem rigs. Hell
i'am just running some 3850 video cards and i score 18,168 the the best posted nvidia rig is 18,015 and the rig cpu was at 3.5 mhz that is .125
higher overclock than what i use in my run and so don't tell me the ATI rig are using highter overclock to get there scores.

He is just talking about Input and Output , not 3d wise ...
