Im not impressed at all. Everything is the same except SB850

I was hoping for a better IGP at least.

JF, while you are around...
Does this new 890GX chipset support the new I/O virtualization thing that the SR56xx chipsets already got?

I believe so, but I can't be 100% sure. Since I am a server guy I don't deal in the client stuff. The SR5690 and 890 share some commonality, but I don't know to what degree.

Unless they fixed the SBxxx AHCI and HDD performance issues than the 890 series is of know better use to me than the 790

check out the vid on [T]ardOCP I like the fact that you can save $150+ and get a 6GB SATA drive and it can compete with a sdd drive with the new sata specs

12ms vs 0.1ms access time? I think I'd stay with an SSD.

On the 790FX using 1333mhz or 1600mhz at various timings made no difference to FPS whatsoever, will be interesting to see if the 800 series chipset has better scaling for memory clocks.

Graphics Card: GTX 295

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition @ 3.6GHz (3.8Ghz = add extra 2 fps)

Ram: OCZ Blade Series 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000 Triple Channel (Tested at various timings using 2x2GB) / OCZ Platinum 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C7 1333MHz Dual Channel (SAME RESULTS)

Crysis 1600mhz 7-7-7-24 = 54.98 fps

Crysis 1333mhz 7-7-7-24 = 54.43 fps

Crysis 1333mhz 6-6-6-24 = 54.87 fps

Crysis 1333mhz 9-9-9-24 = 52.98 fps

Conclusion

For gaming you don't need the best ram for AM3 rigs, in terms of FPS performance, spend the extra cash on a better graphics card etc.

Someone explain.. Why would gigabyte charge $140.00 for the new 890fx series when their old 790fx is still running $185.00? :shrug:

Doesn't look that good, hopefully they can fix it.

Maybe it's a mobo specific issue or Intel's IOmeter automatically gives a handicap if it can't detect a GenuineIntel CPU in the system like some other apps.:ROTF:

He should has tested it with some other benches as well.

So for reference you're using a review that doesn't even use a 6Gbps HD.
3Gbps Sata chip ins't even used on the southbridge its seperate. So they don't even test the sb850 and your surprised it doesn't look good? Find a different review.

http://www.viddler.com/explore/HardOCP/videos/60/ skip to middle for HD Stuff. I hate this guy but none the less.

Umm..the southbridge is SATA 6 and 3, it's backwards compatible. So unless they were using the additional two SATA ports supported by the JMicron controller, which they weren't, it's using the SB850 southbridge.

Budget board versus enthusiast high performance, I don't see the similarity here. :shrug:

But like chew said, this is the lower end board. the 890FX will bring more money.

My point was about sb850 giving similar performance to sb750, and still lagging a bit to a p55 under similarly supported hd specs. I'm not saying that Sata3 shouldn't have an edge over the currently found external solutions on intel boards.
I was less positive for these sata2 results, because it might lag the same way as before when intel adapts sata3 too.
Thanks for the link!

SXS112, thanks for the pics. Not too fond of the heatpipe but the board itself looks superb.

Awaiting overclocking results. ;)

it looks better than anandtech article :up: I know his Real SSD crasched.. but this crucial is amazing.. luckily my crucial m225 is good enough for SB750
