It looks like they pulled the board. It is not there anymore.
359 dollars WHOA new record
I know, the only way to link it was through a Google cache. It's not on the site right now. And that price is increadible...someone must have posted it early and just through a price on it. I wonder when we will see it again though...I despirately want on and a pair of R520 cards...Quote:

wait until the new chipset comes you wont need the master card or anything like that so is going to be a lot better
Which chipset is that?Quote:

Hm. IMO ATI should better integrate compositing engine onto VGA, but not onto chipset. That way mobo manufacturers won`t have to spend time/money on new design development and focus on mass production making XFire more available product.
They are already integrating the compositing engine onto the vga...hence the diff between regular cards anc master cards...We'll just have to see if the cost of integrating into the chipset is higher than into the vga...which will ultimately decide which route ATI will take.Quote:

Pre-order for £157.45 including VAT @ tekheads ~ $290.00 per xe.com? Is it really going to be that much more expensive on this side of the Atlantic?
cpucity.co.uk also have it for around $285 iirc
Does anyone find themselves wondering why there have been no reviews of this board yet? It seems strange to me that we have had a fair few reviews of the Sapphire Grouper but nothing on the DFI, yet the DFI is supposed to be out around the same time. Why is that?
Been wondering the same thing, I bet it's delayed as usual :slapass:Quote:

I'd bet at least $199 or $249USD. The SLI-DR was fairly expensive when it was released.Quote:

Someone fill me in. This is the chipset that lets you run ATIs version of SLI without using a master card?
I don't keep track of things that arn't out yet, I ignore everything about unreleased products because it's a waste of time to worry about stuff I can't have.
This version wont...but that won't stop you from running crossfire without a compositing engine afaik. The upcoming versions will allow a compositing engine on the chipset so no need for master cards...thats coming q1 06...Quote:

It shows the core clock of an X850XT MC as being 400mhz?? Now really! Why would the core clock drop by 100+mhz?
am I right that 2 identical ati cards, bridged together, work as xfire? Im not so uptodate at this thing.
thnx
:: nvm read it properly now (tired)
DFI delayed? No way, they shipped NF3 939 right on schedule ;)Quote:

Just from the perspective of the previous ATI owners who already spent some hard earned bucks on an nvidia SLI setup. I mean, and of course this is just IMHO:
1. Nvidia already dominates the multicard market.
2. ATI's first integrated motherboard chipset.
I don't about anyone else but, in general, first generation chipsets from new to the motherboard chipset manufacturing companies, doesn't usually go very smoothly. I hope it does though. More competiotion = better for everyone as they say.
^^^ I agree. I already gave up on ATI. Like I said in a different post when I bought my 7800GTX SLI pair...ATI lost this round. The least they could do is put out a little information. Keeping everyone in the dark about release dates and what's going on is dumb. They are just pissing people off.
359 $ :confused: It is almost the cost of a Tyan Dual MP motherboard :stick:
