Greyskull, :stick: any idea if ATI plans an AMR version of this board? I guess ATI will need a different chipset to support more PCIe lanes?

i do believe it has already been said that ATi will/does have an AMR version of this board, but you most likely wont see it right away. Wait 3-6 months(my own guess, nothing more) and check back. ;)

Grayskull said earlier that ATi would only be making chipsets, Not motherboards, So unless this has changed, Someone will make one, But not be ATi.

My ESP just tingled a bit, there...

I SPECULATE THAT:
AMR motherboards are probably going to be a little after/at the same time as R520. That way ATi will have some serious new tech to kick some nVidia hiney.

I think that's what trakslacker meant. That ATI has been working on a AMR solution. At least Asus had a sample board for Intel @ Cebit. Don't know why we wouldn't see one pop up very soon for AMD. :toast:

what are the odds that this board even shows up in retail? I say its less than 40% now.

How much you want to wager on that? ;)

It has no AMR. It's just for high end enthusiasts who want to pay $250+ for a board without needing to play around with two cards.

YEAH RIGHT ROFL !!!! This board is gonna suck real bad with no AMR. Even the 4v vdimm isnt gonna save it.

Seriously, the price of SLI boards is going down little by little and here are with a super board with no MVP support???

I want to place orders ffs =)
Should i go for DFI and have computer running when i get the Venice.
Or should i wait for X200 to be released and run Venice on that ?
I dont want SLI or AMR, only high clocks.
What is clever in this situation ?

I would wait and see which one is better.

Makes good sense to Me, Even though personally I'm inclined towards San Diego. :2cents:

Well, i'd wait for the board if it was to show up soon but not knowing how long i'll have to wait is just too much, guess it will be DFI then :rolleyes:

I wonder if you will be able to add another "equal" class video card to the pcie slot and go MVP with the onboard video being the "primary" and the one in the pcie slot as secondary... how fast is the onboard video chip? They always seem to put sort of "weakish" (something a gamer wouldn't use) onboard video on the integrated boards, but I hope for an "enthusiast's" board they would not do that... or, you would hope they would not...

He, at least the Ultra D's price just went down 26€ straight today in the only brick and mortar shop that sells them around here, it will make the decision easier.

I have gooled for 2 days now..and there is nothing new at all about this chipset/motherboard.
Feed me with something. I hate when brain find something interestin and dont get any info. I had some drool over anandtechs bios screens, seems to have exact same bios settings as DFI has.
But what would make this board better ?

I to would like to know when this board is going to show in retail.

I'm not in a big hurry yet due to no Vinice, San Diego or my G5, but when the G5 gets here I hope it's out. When I have/can get those items, if it's not out then I'll prolly go with a DFI.

I find this board very tempting due to the planning for water cooling of the chipset & mosfets. I think Sapphire deserves some praise for designing for easy advanced active cooling of them, but it still has to release soon if it's going to have good sales.

I hope they arn't planning on waiting for the R520 cards to release it..... :nono:

For those of you who don't understand these are confirmed in Sweden now, but I'm not sure which one of these we're discussing in this thread.

I have seen those, but it seems to cheap to be the "good" board.
Will they make several 939 boards ?
And sapphire says the board is 2-3 month away.
According to a user here that mailed them some week ago.
