My guess: Sapphire is taking their sweet time because they just dont want to release a buggy board,ie;DFI nF4's :rolleyes:
Better take the time to make it right than get a boatload of pissed customers.
I say the one thing that really worries me here is Sapphire's seldom update the BIOS for the motherboards they currently produce.
Hopefully this will chage with this sweet looking board.
DFI is not buggy... its the person setting up the board which makes it buggy. Ive had no problems along with a lot of other people :slap:Quote:

Off topic,my bad...
I rather have it buggy as long as its bios related, then nothing at all.
Even if it does not boot i can at least look at it in the box =)
Sorry Grayskull, just anxious to see what the board can do in the hands of some enthusiasts.
Yeah, some infos from Sapphire or ATI would be nice at this point and it wouldn't take so much time for someone there, so beeing busy certainly not explain the blackout :nono:
Confirmed to arrive on Tuesday in Sweden:

And that's a bargain price too! That price would appear at under $90 in the US, if you wonder.
that's not the board.

different PWM design, so i'd say no.
thats not the Guper board, what i've heard is that the gruper will be realesed in late may o in june,and it will be the white pcb and sapphires logo on it, so it's just to wait :(Quote:

gruper - Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :
Grouper \Group"er\, n. [Corrupted fr. Pg. garupa crupper. Cf.
Garbupa.] (Zool.)
(a) One of several species of valuable food fishes of the
genus Epinephelus, of the family Serranid[ae], as the
red grouper, or brown snapper (Epinephelus morio), and
the black grouper, or warsaw (Epinephelus nigritus),
both from Florida and the Gulf of Mexico.
(b) The tripletail (Lobotes).
(c) In California, the name is often applied to the
rockfishes. [Written also groper, gruper, and
trooper.]
[1913 Webster]
well there ya have it. Guess there is indeed more than one spelling. well, my bad. :)
Definatly going to be my next mobo, even if my dfi board is too much for me to handle =)
might be a bit too late as M2 and all that junk is being announced for 2006?
Yup! M2 and R600, then in 2007 we will have........
The board was announced and tested by anand in november 2004. We're almost half a year further and still no sign of it. After the X800XT PE fiasco, ATi is surely building up a good reputation of launching but not delivering.
To quote anand (article from November 8th, 2004): "... Enthusiast boards based on the RX480 and high-end designs with the RS480 are shipping, as it will still be several weeks until these boards make their way to market.
Obviously ATi still don't know "the way to the market". I'll be glad to show it to you and oh, if you're coming, please bring some XT800XT PE's, some X700XT's, some X850XT PE's, some 512MB cards, and all other paper launched hardware with you. K? Thanks. Bye.
wow harsh lol.Quote:

I doubt ECS will have many, if any, overclocking options. Just isn't their style, but I wouldn't be too surprised to see just a few

Looks like Jetway has sone RS480's in the works. You will need Acrobat reader to view specs.
Has one section that Shows "magic bios FSB stepping to assist overclocking" if it had some voltages then :woot: JetWay

Depends on the board, they had that one A64 board I believe alittle while back that wasn't too bad. I'll hope for another A64 overclocking board from them, :woot:

Any updates on this board? I want to know if I will be able to purches one around the first week of june or so. The earlier the better though :P
