apparently AMR is now going by the name MVP, and even this isn't the final name. Stands for Multiple or Multi-VPU.

nice work all you ATI guys, that board looks amazing

I'd even take it pink with green dots if it performs like expected :hehe:

I think that might be Asus just trying to be different but I could be wrong...

Does the phrase "ATI-AMR" do anything for ya?? :stick:

Oh, thats right....there is no common sense here.... :p:

Yep I noticed that too ( the lack of a second 16x PCI-E slot). Although perhaps they will be doing something similar to the Lanparty's with Ultra and SLI/AVR except being smart about it and NOT putting dual PCI-E slots on both mobo's.

I do not really care since I do not plan on running dual card's anytime soon, I just want this board!

Yeah Me too, And from What I've seen, Nvidia I think said It would double the performance by having two cards, In reality I've seen about a 50-60% or less increase, Besides one card with 2 GPUs seems to do the same and with less problems due to heat from a 2nd card being trapped under the 1st or Top card. In any case I'll buy at least one of these Sapphire Grouper motherboards depending on How much cash I have when I'm able to do It.

Been promised one next week maybe, if ATI let me post about it i will do a thread like the DFI etc.

I can also tell you many of the features on the board were implemented with the help from a few chosen enthusiasts, I helped with voltage regulation and ram overclocking, the mosfets being grouped and water cooled was just one of the things that made it to this board.

Lets hope it clocks as good as it looks ;)

If the board performs, they could only benefit from such a thread, best bang for the buck marketing campaign by far ;)

Dude! ATi would be insane not to give us a sneak peek. Keep the info, coming all.

Has anyone heard of a release date? Is my assuming a couple months from now a little optimistic?

yeah the buttons are a must!
now i have to use a screwdriver to powerup and reset :p:

edit: can they replace it with some more solid buttons or is it just a preview of what kind of features the board has

Man what a beauty! It'll prolly give DFI a run for its money. (Wc blocks bundled?)

Don't missunderstand me now, but has anything important been said in this thread? I mean, would it be worth reading the thread, or is it just full of "whoas" and rumors? When is the release date? You should put some sort of FAQ in the beginning.

hmmm

It says what it's for right on it.... SB PCIe eeprom.

Be nice to see these start showing up in the market. About fking time a builtin video motherboard had DVI connector.

If it were on sale today i'd buy it, then get around to nailing a X850XT pciE later.

Yeah! I need a big jumbo fluorescent (think Playschool) style reset button that I can stab at angrily every time I push the mobo too far. :p:
