The best option IMO is VIA. Everyone wins.

Well as Ati is nowhere near producing the driver yet for using more than one card and rumour has it that it will be Q205 then at present you are only left with nvidia video cards to choose from anyway.

If you are going Sli then chipset speed is not really an issue, if you are going single card then feel free to go VIA, but considering the complete disaster that VIA have shown in the past trying to get AGP/PCI locks to work I would not feel confident them getting the PCIe lock to work either.

I had 3 via AMD K8 boards and eventually ended up with nforce3 , saying everbody wins with via rings very hollow in my experience.

Weee!!! Have pre-orderd one now :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :banana: :banana: :banana4: :banana4: :D :D

Link?

thanks.

It's in sweden so I dont know if it's possible for you to pre-order from there but sure, www.overclockers.se :D

I can't wait to get my hands on this board. Seems like I just finished setting up my current rig and they just have to come out with another killer mobo :)

I pre-orderd the UT SLI board. I dont relly got use for the other stuff there comes with the other versions.

I have ordered the DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR and i will run it with a ATI X850XT PE. Would this combo work without any problem, or should i choose a other DFI NF4 board? Money is no problemo :banana3:

Where did you order it? What is the expected ship date?

Probably not much point paying the extra for SLI board with a x850 unless you plan on changing to nvidia any time soon?

Dave

Exactly as you cannot run SLI with ATI for the time being :rolleyes:

I have preorderd a DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR at www.overclockers.se. Worth to mention is that they ship to Denmark and Norway to.

The card I ordered cost 2095SEK / 6.75 = 310$

Expected shiping day 2005-01-29

Pre-ordered :D

Mine cost 2245SEK, coz of the shipping all the way to Denmark. Either way, it'll be here in February! I think i'm in the top10 pre-ordered, if not, then im screwed :p:

Yeh, but it would kick a$$!

The interesting thing is that middle jumper between the 2 16x slots. If that thing is made so you don't need the little pcb bridge connector, then maybe DFI is on to something? I wish someone asked vivian about that during the interview.

Available for pre-order in the UK here now :cool: - http://www.cpucitystore.co.uk/catalo...roducts_id=648

Its funny, those stores which come first get everything :D

DTP in dk will have it online about 5 days, but shame im gone the next week! So it looks like overclockers.se will have first pick :)

I changed my order to DFI lanparty UT nF4 Ultra instead because i´m gonna use ATI. No SLI or NVIDIA for me. Estimated date 29 january in sweden :cool:

I really do hope so but i wouldnt advise people to spend extra money on an SLI one unless we had some sort of evidence of any ati card working in any nforce 4 mobo which we dont.

I really hope those prices drop a bit and that availabilty becomes real soon...

BackOrder, First german shop ... the price drop dows fast :D
15 day a go, Asus A8N SLI Deluxe -> 180€
139 € now ... :)

Here its still around 165€ ;)

I guess the ultra will be around the 120€ or something like that when its broad available...

germany is germany ;)
Not Portugal :(

Pre-order available at OCuk *cough*
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Socket_939.html

computersmsa - the price diference is much smaller lately but it still "hurts" sometimes

Nice overclockers.co.uk are online.

Its too late for me though, i'm already pre-ordered :D

Newegg is a little bit slow :\
and im drooling all over my computer from those pictures... :slobber: :slobber: :slobber:

Well done OcUK, lets hope more places follow suit with a bit of a price war

Hum can't seem to find a supplier from Canada yet pre-ordering it ;(

I'll pass on the price war. DFI motherboards have never been cheap, nor do i expect them to be cheap.

I'm getting the first one i can get my hands on, as long as its not more than $400.

Actually, even 400+ :D

I haven't had my computer for a long time now, i cant wait to get it back together. No way I'm waiting ANOTHER 2 months.

people are willing to shell out $400 for a mobo (LOLOLOL) just based on hearsay ("dfi is a nice brand") - and NOT based on real reviews ?

Is there ANY real review of the dfi NF4 board yet ? I didnt see any...

wow 400+ that's killer even if it does have all the little extra "features" I still don't think it's worth it to me :) Maybe because i'm not hardcore enough eheh. But more power to you if you can shell out 400 bucks.

its like 270 euros so like 350usd. not 400++

I have put off upgrading for far, far too long. [Vapochilled Athlon 1200/100 at 1466/133].

I am definitely upgrading this time no matter what, and this board looks extremely attractive! What I am trying to figure out is whether I am going for SLI or not.

At overclockers.com Ed mentioned something about how dual core CPU's may be better for SLI, if each core can be dedicated to each gpu. He brought this up because with SLI the scores seem heavily CPU dependant, and CPUs do not seem to be getting faster in speed anytime soon.

Does dedicating a core to each GPU sound like a good idea for the future, or was that statement in itself ridiculous? Just wondering about all your opinions since there are some pretty intelligent people on this forum..

206 according to that german shop, 170 for the UT non sli .
The ocuk store goes as low as 150 euro for non sli UT . Fair price imo

Hopefully, as the drivers mature, SLI will become more efficient, and we will see a reduction in CPU dependence :)

Hmm. IMHO it's good to add as much cpu power as you can as fillrate ain't maxed out as fast as with just one card. So it's equal either you have a dual cpu SLI system or just one really fast processor. To max out the cards is the problem, so it does not really matter how you get the nescessary cpu power :D

the nmaybe ou can get a PSU for each core and gfx card

then once ram becomes a bottle neck. a gig of DDR2 for each core and gfx card

wow a midrange comp is going ot cost like 5000 in a year or two

For anyone highly interested in the AGP version of this board!

Man im soooo glad i put my 939 upgrade off now! i dont care if the NF3 board doesnt have the heatsinks etc i put em on all my boards myself anyway :D

wow this is gonna rule if the agp board has 3.2v DDR as well!!!! man i hope so. :slobber:

Great! :toast:

Just reassure me, there is going to be no difference in performance between the DFI LanParty UT NF4 SLI-D and the DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D is there, as I only want the Ultra as I will be getting an X850?

And I don't know what people are on about being expensive, the Ultra-D is only £105, compared to the MSI neo Plat 4 Ultra which is £130!!! ANd they DFI is going to own it. Even the SLI version is cheaper than the MSI.

if things go to 2 gpus on a card running sli that would be good news for everyone who gets the plain ultra board as it can still do that sli unless im misunderstanding.
I know what u mean about the waiting J but a pre order price war would be a nice thing, as u can still get it as soon as its available, although i dont see much chance of it happening.

no performance difference with an x850 between them no.

Now the 3500(90nm) just has to come back in stock across the UK and I'm sorted. Right I'm of to surf PCIe GFX card Pr0n and drool :D

My old A7N8X-D finally gave up the ghost and she needs a worthy successor.

I AM!!!

I hope it has the bomber sound and sweet high end server board mosfets/caps too:) :banana4:

The external soundcard will FINALLY put an end to all the screeching and hissing in onboard sound. THANK YOU DFI.

I know nothing about this onboard sound, is it actually any good? How does it compare to the old onboard sounstorm or and Audigy?

Nothing?

SEXY PICS!! :slobber:

Looks like an XP-90 may fit on it... dunno about an XP-120, looks very tight.

i'll try and sell it on ebay for 5$, cuz i still want the extra 4 sata ports.

get the ut nf4 sli-dr?? still comes with 8 sata minus frontx and diagnostic led thingies

btw im glad that even the dfi nf4-ultra mobos come with the sli-bridge for some pseudo sli :D

ive checked the package contents in the manual for msi nf4-ultra mobo and no sight of sli-bridge...maybe this will make for an easier decision...

oh totally forgot about the UT version.

i'm not even considering the msi neo4 plat anymore. at first i was because i was under the assumption that the DFI wasnt coming until april. now that its released and hopefully in places in the US in the next few weeks for reasonable price, i will be getting it for sure.

Just preordered the DFI NF4 SLI for a friend! http://www.computerhq.com/hardware/p...id-532379.html

Also ordered to go with it:

6800GT EVGA PCI express (monarch)

and will be ordering this tomorrow from excalibur:

2x512 G-Skill pc4400
3200+ winnie
Antec Tru550 24pin

Im hoping the 550 will be enough for a possible future SLI. I told him he may want to wait and see if the one 6800GT is enough for him for now. Hes going from a asus KM400 amd mobo and a 5900xt after all :)

does this combo seem ok? thoughts before i push the spend button on ram/cpu/psu tomorrow? :)

at least i get to see one in action while i wait for the AGP board to come out anyway! :D

I have lanparty nf2 ultra b before

and this time the frontx is black fit my case :D

not bad on the antec :) you can't go wrong with either OCZ or Antec. the 3200+ winnie should do it but if you want to save 50 more dolalrs go with the 3000+ winnie. As for the G-Skill maybe someone can answer this it for you because i'm not sure myself. It's either BH5 or TCCD for me since the DFI has a 4volts on the vdimm.

Regarding reviews, the performance the DFI achieved on "coaler" is enough, i was sold the moment i saw DDR700 and Vcore2,1 :D

Thank goodness for the NF3 - Really dont want to go about buying ANOTHER x800, after the trouble I had getting my hands on this one

*grumble*backorder for 2 months*grumble*

I'm really glad to see that some decent boards are being released for AMD. Now all we need are the vid cards to go with it. It's damn near impossible to get your hands on a half way decent vid card for PCI-E.

You need to buy yourself a clue...try to use USB to put digital movies on your pc and then comeback and tell us how it worked, among many other things...

It comes with its own sleeving kit, how cool.

http://img76.exs.cx/img76/6281/11049779699558ai.jpg

All that junk, I only need the mobo itself :)

Yeh, the top range DFI boards come with sleeving kits :)

"David as this is a DFI board and is not related to Gigabyte at all; I am having this email answered by those in engineering and places of much more position than myself. The ability to do beyond what most 'other' brands of motherboard are capable of doing has "always" required a very competent and non-overrated power supply. That will not have changed with the coming of the NF4 to DFI.

24 pin power supplies are now required due to the change in ATX protocol for the NF4 boards and DFI will likely require the 24pin power supplies is my guess but we will wait for the reply from higher up, sir. XXX...
Sincerely,
XXX"

This is a mail from DFI tech. regarding the use of a 20pin PSU. looks like i'll need to get an OCZ PowerStream while im at it :(

could you just buy a 20 to 24pin powersupply convert?

I have...my USB 2.0 worked great! Few digital camcorders haven't already moved to USB. Practically all digital cameras have.

Firewire is dead.

Obviously not. The extra four pins in the adapter are placebos. The 24pin includes an extra 3,3, 5 and 12. Something tells me that the DIMM slots are powered by one of these (either the 3,3V or 5V).

The adapter really defies the purpose of the added power to the PCIe slots and the extra ground cable.

At least i have a reason to upgrade from my 430W Antec to the OCZ PS520W :D

I'm debating whether to use that or the Antec NeoPower 480W as its 24pin and has the new cable management system where you plug in what you need and don't have to worry about the cable explosion.

I'm don't undestand why u can't use a 20 Pin Powersupply with a 20-24 pin converter. Surely it has to work

I'd consider something >= 500W, ASUS manual (yes I know its a DFI board) recommends >= 500W for SLI setup.

I was thinking the same I checked online and various vendors/party are releasing a 20-24pin adapater.

NM I did some research and the PCIe motherboard requires a 6pin power as well... yay me... time to sell off my old psu for a new one.

The 24pin converter does not split the 12V 3.3V and 5V +ground cables into the extra holes. On DFI-STREET ViperJohn and Angry Games discussed it in further detail, and supposedly the converter defies the point of the 24pin socket.

Some motherboards work fine with a 20pin (Gigabyte), but some, more demandinfg require a ATX2,0 based PSU, such as this DFI.

The OCZ has adjustable rails, i'll just do a sleeving job on it.

Damn, this means my PCP&C 510W vanilla is now basically obsolete with the newer motherboards :cussing:

It is my understanding that adapters will ship with most of the NF4 boards. I think onepage reported killing a coupole of PS's with the adapter though. Nonetheless I gave in and ordered a pcpc 510sli model.

whats the difference between the 4 extra pins on the end and the 4 pin connectors for p4s? Im looking on www.ebuyer.co.uk for a decent 24 pin psu, any advice?

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=64849 this was the only one that I could find that was not either utter junk or had only 20 pins on the main connector. The 4pin P4 connector is quite separate.

Even that PSU does lack the oomph that this has => http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...aCA_2d011_2dOC <= seems to be your best bet and none of the budget crapola on ebuyer save that antec will get you a stable system on a mobo that needs the ATX12v 24pin.

HTH.

I'd reccomend this to anyone:

Not with all motherboards. The gigabyte officialy supports it as far as my knowledge goes. However, the DFI as far as i can comprehend from the Tech Support, does not. Upgrading to the DFI has already cost me way too much :(

All together, going from my AXP - NF7-S revision 2.0 - 1024 Corsair 3200XLPT - Gainward 6800GT G/S - Antec TruePower 430W, cost me about €500, coz i cant afford a new 6800GT, i'll have to stick with an inconceivably :banana::banana::banana::banana: 6600GT untill next XMAS.

Of course my Case-Mod projects are going to have to wait as i cant even afford the Lian-Li i wanted :stick:

Anyway, enough blabering, there is NO WAY i am frying a €300 motherboard. Looks like no upgrades untill next XMas, even my job doesnt pay this well. This board better be the best of the best of the best of THE BEST (which im sure it will), otherwise I'm onto a stampede screaming and cursing the name of god :p:

Dunno if this photo has been posted yet, but saw this over at ocuk forums: -

http://www.dfi.com.tw/Upload/Product...ackshowoff.jpg

Check out the removable sound board there, and also comes with an SLI bridge (thought DFI didn't need one :confused: )

Cant u just sell al your old stuff to fund a nice new graphics card for the new system? I'm sure u could get a fair bit for the 6800gt AGP.

I did. The extra costs are the price difference between the sale/new items and the upgrade.

The whole previous system has been sold apart from the Antec. This has already been extravangantly expensive, but then again, its better to upgrade now bamm! than to slowly put the pieces together. Sometimes I think i chose the wrong hobby. Dell aint too shabby after all :p: :bs:

For sleeving your psu cables so your case looks nice n tidy ;)

Alright guys, fight's over before they close the thread.

Back on topic, I heard today that now DFI now expects their US shipment on 1/24.

DK is 30/01/2005 :D, and sweeden is a day before :D

OcUk reckon they'll have their boards for shipment in on the third week in January, we'll see eh.

firewire 800 kicks usb 2.0's ass.
by ALOT
firewire 400 was just as fast as usb 2.0, and firewire 800 is double the speed of both

Hi,
I'm planning to buy this mobo but I have some dubt.
I alwais owned ATI vga but last year I bought a 6800 gt and a 6800 ultra from xfx. I wasn't not confortable with them so I already sold the GT and I'm selling the ultra .
I have an x800@xtpe on mine regular rig, and already have an x800xt pci-x waithing for an pci-x mobo, but I would like to run it in sli mod for the nex future.
I read all the 3d and it seems there is no way to run ati in sli mode on this mobo, anyboy have some more news about that?
The other prob is about the power supply, I have an antec true-control 550, and I'm really happy with it, so do I need to change it for an OCZ? no way to use it with a 20-24 pin adaptor?

Sorry for my english

firewire 400 was just as fast as usb 2.0, and firewire 800 is double the speed of both

I have an x800@xtpe on mine regular rig, and already have an x800xt pci-x waithing for an pci-x mobo, but I would like to run it in sli mod for the nex future.
I read all the 3d and it seems there is no way to run ati in sli mode on this mobo, anyboy have some more news about that?
The other prob is about the power supply, I have an antec true-control 550, and I'm really happy with it, so do I need to change it for an OCZ? no way to use it with a 20-24 pin adaptor?

Sorry for my english

There probably is no way of running ATI "SLI" on this mobo...
