I knew what he meant, but I am just saying there still a lot of people that can't afford or doesn't want to spend over a $1000 just for a pair of vidcards. Sure it's nice to have the option to with a xfire board, but to some its just wasted space where another PCI slot would be more useful.Quote:

The motherboards are ready for retail action, with minor tweaks being solved by BIOS updates.

RD580, or the Radeon Xpress 3200 will bring 32 PCI Express lanes dedicated to two PEG (PCI Express Graphics) x16 slots, which are finally working with all 16 data lanes, filling every board with data at a full rate of eight gigabytes a second. While high-end hardware such as X1800 or X1900 won't feel as much of an performance boost, our sources are telling us that the real benefactor will be "mainstream CrossFire", ATI's name for paired X1300 or X1600 boards. When comparing the new RD580 to an older RD480-based board, X1300 should yield a boost ranging from 15-35%, while X1600 should spread the wings by around 20-40%.

I know :) But guess which one (even the top ocers) care about most ;)Quote:

As this is a new chipset and it isn't rushed, it might be a prejudice, but I don't like to risk sudden deaths in any way, because I need a rig more than just benching ;) I took the Asus, it is so-weet :woot:Quote:

A. I'm surprised that no one has posted that ZZF has the ASUS one listed on their site for sell now.
B. I thought the ASUS was supposed to be in the $120-150 range? Is this just ZZF attempt at ripoff while they can?
