So what were you referring to?

first time I ever seen anyone say anything about 3470 in a review

3850 was the highest support I've seen. probably to keep it with gdrr3/ddr3...

My bet is he was referring to PCIe 1.1 instead of PCIe 2.0 standard.

I don't think that anyone is going to care what what PCIe version the southbridge uses since the graphic slots are 2.0 compliant.

That JR board is nice, although IMO only for SFF/HTPC use. However, when Deneb is out Ive a spare 9850BE... Might as well grab that little baby:cool:

Dag nabbit. The first wave of 790GX boards have all landed and there isn't a single 3 or 4 slotter among them. I must have a minimum of 3 x8+ slots, 4 is better, and 5 would be ideal.

The Asus one has 3 x16 PCIE slots. not sure about the wiring though

And you probably won´t be seeing much over 3 slots either, as it only has 26lanes. 4 are used for southbridge, 16 for 1/2 slots and that leaves 6 lanes for other.

Asus having 3 slots, highly probable that it´s a 4x electrical. 2 lanes over for 1x slots or something :S

I'm with you on that one Particle:) Although the onboard IGP in conjunction with a ATI Card is appealing. Just wish there was more slots on the motherboard as I need atleast 2 PCI Slots one for sound card and the other for my parallel Card for my Laser FAX/Printer

TBH, it seems like RS780D wont offer the same power saving features as nVidia has with their Hybrid SLI. So to be honest, I hardly see a reason in the first place to grab a RS780D board unless you're a HD 34x0 die-hard fan/HTPC/SFF user.

Just get the RD790/SB750 combo;)

Like one of the reviews said it's a first LanParty (the first mATX) that you can actually take somewhere in the mATX case.
LanParty Anyone:rofl:?:up:

Hey is Abit going to make one this time?

Yes, looks very nice. Though I haven't been keeping track. Is this the only 790GX board announced so far with digital pwm? This is definitely a trend I'd like to see continued. Can't wait to see the price when it hits retail.

As far as I know this is the only one,but I am not 100%

and btw AMD loves the students:;)

I think Bingo13's "bad secret" was the 150$ price range,think the Biostar is 99$ on the egg...........

Those DFIs look really nice...
Good to see old PCI still hanging in there.

Glad to see someone think I'm not being absurd for once!

I currently have the following PCIe cards:
- 1 PCIe x1 sound card
- 2 PCIe x16 video cards
- 1 PCIe x8 RAID controller

I would like to add:
- 1 PCIe x1 10/100/1000 NIC
- 2 PCIe x16 video cards

I guess I'd need a 7-slot board for that, which is unlikely. :) I can live with just the two 4850s and the PCI NIC I'm using, which means I need a minimum of 3 PCIe x8 slots and 1 PCIe x1 slot unless I want to downgrade. I don't think any amount of higher clock speeds from an SB750 board is going to make up for that missing video card. heh

Why are you even looking at 790gx boards? Sounds like you are wanting a 790fx.

Isn't SB750 going to be only on 790GX? I am using a 790FX board currently (K9A2).

No, for example the DFI DK 790FXB-M2RS (790FX/SB750) has popped in a few threads now.

Sweet. I'll have to check it out.

Don't think it's just the chip set,more like the total?

You didnt know before:confused:.

RS780D is used to introduce SB750, RD790 is getting an (unofficial) re-release with the SB750.

ASRock, Asus, Biostar, DFI, Foxconn and Jetway are one of the few brands getting a RD790/SB750 combo;)
