Yes, I too would like to know what's going on with this board, as the Venice and S.D. are now here, and the AMDX2 and FX57 on the horizon.
Thanks,
Brian

Yes, nearly 3 months after the thread creation and about 59 000 views, i guess we're a good bunch waiting for infos :fact:
:slapass: for the "marketease".
So many waiting for info on this :confused:
Can't believe they havn't thrown us a bone.
People tend to forget or lose interest in things, if they arent reminded of it once in a while.

i'm really looking forward to the release of this mobo.
i'hope that it's oc-performance is as good as the dfi nf4 performance.
and hopefully this cool ati-multi-card-feature is already integrated :)
additionally i need to know if the board has any kind of sub-zero problems cuz i#ll change to a vapochill or chill1/ice's cooling unit :)
then i'll go and buy it :)

"Smells like we will see many of those boards at Computex."
"SLI wars will begin during June, we suggest."
:clap:
well if the news that the inquirer is true then this is gonna suck, since it was rumored that ati's mvp was just driver based and that any board that supports 2 8x pcie slots would work.
Wow...making up abbreviations is SO COOL :eek:Quote:

RS480: Variant of RX480 with Directx 9.0-capable Onboard Video (Radeon Xpress 200G)
RS400: ATi's Intel Chipset with DDR/DDR2 memory Controller and two PCI-E slots (may not be mvp capable even with two 16/4 config)
RU/RC400: Value Intel mobo chipsets.
RD400: (As seen on Hexus) MVP Capable Intel Mainboard chipset.
RX482: MVP Capable chipset for AMD based on RX480.
RS482: Based on RX482, MVP Capable, with onboard video.
Perkam
But the Sapphire we are waiting for does not have Multi Rendering right ??
So we can just close this thread and skip it ?
Or am i wrong ?
This thing isnt MVP Capable, but that doesnt mean it wont be good. And with the R5xx series of cards, you wont immediately need two of them to break WRs ;)Quote:

I've seen several sites call ATI's MVP/AMD solution "RD480" and "RD580" too. :wth: :shrug:Quote:

The only possibility of a change from my post you quoted is the possible addition of, as you said, RD480, if ATi doesnt go RX482 for MVP chipsets.
I have yet to see this RD480, however, i can say with quite certainty that the D in RD doesnt stand for dual....lol.
Perkam
didnt hexus also write that mvp will be driver based and not chipset based, although there will be ati chipsets that support it?Quote:

Certainly, the most anticipated feature of RD400 is the support for Multi VPU technology or previously known as AMR (ATI Multi Rendering) where two different PCIe graphics cards can work hand in hand without a need for SLI-like bridge. ATi RD480 that supports Multi VPU as well will come in the near future for AMD processors. The 2nd generation of RD400 chipset coming second half of the year will allow SMA (graphics onboard) to run in conjunction with an external PCIe graphics card. Certainly the onboard graphics will not be wasted if an external graphics card is plugged in and both will run in dual GPUs mode.

Both are believed to be 110nm die-shrinks of the existing RS480 and RC400 chipsets, respectively. Like those parts they feature ATI's RV370 integrated graphics engine.
The chipsets may also support ATI's bridgeless answer to Nvidia's SLi, allowing two graphics engines to co-operatively render 3D images. Both chipsets will certainly support PCI Express.
Even if the RS482 and/or the RC410 don't support multi-rendering, ATI's RD400 chipset will. This part is targeted at Intel's dual-core Pentium Extreme Edition part, which begin shipping yesterday, and will go head-to-head with Nvidia's nForce 4 SLi Intel Edition chipset. It's being claimed by some that the ATI part will ship with a ULi South Bridge which will add HD audio and six-port Serial ATA RAID to the North Bridge's 1066MHz frontside bus and dual-channel 667MHz DDR 2 SDRAM support.
It looks like the RD400 will be launched this quarter, possibly next month, though some reports suggest it won't ship until Q3. An AMD-oriented version, the RD580, is apparently scheduled to ship soon after. ®
and then, here's another, where the rd480 chipset was announced in asian countries, with a picture, of this chipset you think does not exist:

Other day, ATi used the RD480 chip group's motherboard product official exposure which it soon promoted. Formerly we gave everybody report ATi soon promoted two " the trump card " - RD400 and RD480, these two section chips group supported double PCI-E reveals the card, supports ATi Multi the VPU technology prepares people's attention.
About the RD400 chip group, formerly greatly unfolded in CecBit2005, the Chinese large company once displayed uses this chip group the motherboard product, moreover at the end of May will be able to see this chip group officially went on the market. Chip group and the RD400 chip group equally all supports double PCI-E in view of AMD the platform design RD480 reveals the card, all supports Mulit the VPU technology, platform is in vogue facing now AMD the K8 market present situation, people to RD480 chip group's anticipation degree as if higher somewhat. Under we give everybody look ATi uses the RD480 chip group the motherboard project model product picture:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...chmentid=29722
RD480 integration demonstration core, if does not have the accident, should be integrates RADEON the X300 demonstration core. South the bridge aspect may choose south ATi oneself SB450 the bridge chip, also may select south ULI M1573 the bridge chip, actually this section RD480 chip group also may say is the RS480 chip group's promotion edition.
Under take above this section ATi the RD480 motherboard project model as the example, detailedly introduces RD480 motherboard to everybody the technical specification! This section motherboard supports AMD Socket939 Athlon64/64 the FX processor; Supports the double channel DDR400 memory, the board carries 4 memories slots, most greatly supports 4gb; South this section project model embarkation SB450 the bridge chip, supports 4 SATA connection, supports the RAID 0/1/0+1 function; The expansion aspect quite is also rich, provides two PCI-EX16 slot, supports Multi the VPU technology, moreover also has one PCI-EX1 slot, two PCI slot and two CNR slot; In addition this section motherboard also supports 1000000000000000 ether networks, 8 sound tracks sounds effect output, 8 USB2.0 connection and so on.
Generally speaking, let is RD480 chip group motherboard finally this present existence which the person was happy, at present, still had several questions is not very clear, what pattern was that the double PCI-EX16 slot work under? Whether or not can does the integrated demonstration core compare on the X300 one scale? The integration demonstrates whether or not can the core does meet with outside reveals the card carries on parallel exaggerates? Must make after understands these questions look at a sample want when ATi Multi the VPU technology official issue, only then can truly completely understand.
Perk, try as hard as you may to make people look wrong, you only make yourself look childish. Please do not try to argue with me, unless you can back it up. Here, in this post, is backup for my earlier post. What do you have?
There is nothing in those links that I havent already accounted for in my prevoius responses. I have already stated that the RD480, because I saw the RD400 Intel MVP solution, may be the MVP solution for AMD and that ATI may be abandoning the originally reported **482 chipset name.Quote:

You said i made up abbreviations, an obvious flame. I, on the otherhand, posted my sources. Where are yours? If you are indeed right, you should share the info with us all, rather than having the condescending attitude you do. :fact:Quote:

My bad then. Its just really new to me, and I was thinking you used the coincidence that they had those letters in them to say that RS meant Single and RD meant Dual...I could be wrong, and so could you, because its yet to be released and most of us are in the fog for it...Quote:

Would be nice to finally see benchies on these though :(
