I think the RDX200 will be the winner for those who want the X1800 Xt. The X1800 Xl beats the 7800 gtx in some tests and are just about even. I have a feeling the X1800 xt will give the Gtx ultra a good run

Right now all the reviews of testing I have seen shown the 7800GTX 256 card faster by a lil bit then the X1800XT 512 card or pretty close to dead even. Image quallity was about equal as well. Now price point wise the X1800XL 256 card is more then the 7800GTX also.. Big thing is the 7800GTX does way more with less clock cycles thenthe X1800XL ever does. When the new 7800GTX Ultra/512 card hits the street.. Plan on it mopping up with the ATI card easily. As that the 7800GTX 512 card will be clocked around 580mhz and 1400 on the mem with 512. If the 512 X1800Xl cant beat down the 7800GTX 256 card then it will not come close I think to the Ultra.. Just my opinion anyhow. Really wanna see how this Expert board does.Quote:

How did it come about that anyone would even think this.. I truely dont think DFI and Oscar would release a board that without USER error would just kill CPU's. So I will just set back and wait till the become avalible. Just like everone else
dunno .. i ordered one .. monarch says ill have it on tuesday .. since they are shipping out on friday .. and they said they had 150 of them .. sooooo ..Quote:

even if this board gives me the same performance that my current sli-dr is giving me .. ill be happy ... as the main reason i want this board is for the sli spacing and the layout .. and nto so many power connections
hi mate there is a thread here with 2xCF boards swallowing 3xreally expensive CPUs......here is a link http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=79187...........R.I.P. 2xFX57 CPUs and a 4800+ X2Quote:

With this amount of time elapsed with no updates, I am going to go with the pessimistic view: something MUST be wrong. I know if I was going to post a thread like that on the board 1) I'd be TIRED AS HELL because I'd be up hurs on end getting that thing running and reporting my results!
I've got s bad feeling about this, and I REALLY hope I am proved wrong!
Call me crazy, but I do believe some people actually have jobs. :p
nVidia :D

That doesnt mean im gonna scream the sky is falling and say that ALL THESE boards are EVIL CPU EATERS and im scared.. No intent on flaming or being rude just kinda what i have wittnessed and feel.
Next is People have OTHER lives then doing what WWM is doing now with this board. Just because we havent heard from him doesnt mean anything bad happened. It just means NO news is still NO news, not No news is good or bad news. Be Patient everyone..Im sure he will post when he can and has info.. No worries!!!
As reported by Major in the A8N32-SLI Deluxe thread, the DFI SLI-DR is now available at Monarch, who's buying? :-)

monarch still hasn't updated it's website (in stock, ship 1-2 days). i call that deceptive.
That's why I seldom buy anything from these guys..... Too many times I've been told "it was in stock when you ordered it but out when we gotta around to shipping." I don't understand why they continue this crap, when you place your order with other etailers you can follow the order from the moment it was placed.... Looks to me that they'll continue to be "wanta-bees" until change their ordering system. :mad:Quote:

I just got off the phone with a guy named Keith at Monarch and he said they were sent a batch of "defective motherboards" and DFI is sending them another shipment. He says they should be receiving them either Wednesday or Thursday and shipments should start being sent out on that day. I'll guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I doubt it, these guys have a screwed ordering system and they're masters at making excuses! Example:Quote:

No CPU has fried on an NF4 SLI-DR Expert board. You can't say this board is killing CPU's when only one person has it, god knows where he is anyway, but nonetheless, this baord hasn't killed any CPU's and its not right to say it has until we see evidence of that.Quote:

Yep, my bad. Sorry. I was referring to RDX200 CF-DR and Asus A8N32-SLI boards. I was talking in general. Still no word from wwm...it makes you think.
But I don't need 4*512 @ 1T.
And properly most of us don’t need it.
I need/want high HTT , high(er) cpu/mem speeds, and stability.
I think this board is going to be a disappointment over the old nf4 dr.
