Official DFI Lanparty UT RDX200 CF-DR Thread

anyone know/ have an idea about the projected price of the board?

Board will probably cost about $200 to $250>.

you mean it will be MORE expensive than the NVidia solution in addition to being so late to the market? I guess ATI really wants some unsold paperweights.

Wasn't there an article on the inquirer that said xfire boards would be 5% cheaper than sli boards?

I'm betting it will be $200 or less... Probably priced very close to the sli-dr.

We'll all be forced to buy the high end mobos now tho, cuz there wont be a crossfire bridge mod :p:

Unless its someone with inside sources stating so, people need to stop believeing every other poster doubting something, or posting extreme assumptions :stick:

Will there be an Ultra-D like board?

no crossfire mod tho.. regular chipsets like a GF4 core, so no bridges.

I bet there will be an RS480, though. :) If not, theres always the sapphire rs480.

I don't know if it has been answered before, i didn't have the patience to go trough all the 9 pages of this topic, but here it goes:

I probably don't have to tell you that when overclocking it is very important to have a very clean voltage supply. This board has a switching voltage regulator for supplying the RAM, wich means it doesn't get so hot, it's more efficient but has "switching noise" wich makes the voltage supplied pretty dirty. The NF4 has a linear voltage regulator, wich means more heat, less efficiency but cleaner voltage output (at least 2 times cleaner). Out of the two, the linear regulator is a better choice, IF you find a way to dissipate all the extra heat. It is also a little cheaper to build and takes less board space.
In conclusion, this board won't have any overheating/stability problem like the ones met on the NF4 when using the 5V jumper, but it is POSSIBLE to see a LITTLE lower memory clocks or worse timings.

the NF4 may be cleaner, but lacks stability... which has more impact, in the end...

That's why i put a big IF there, and probably that's why they moved to switching voltage regulators.

Most likely. Bring on stability and 3.3+ vdimm. :toast:

could sli be used on this board, as it can on gigabytes crossfire board(claimed by gigabyte)?

so, when is this thing coming out?

In one of the DFI threads it was explained that the newest revision of the SLI NF4 has the same power regualtor setup now as the upcoming DFI Crossfire board.

I guess i will jump on whichever one ships first. I have a feeling the Saphire board will be the most expensive though.

This motherboard was demonstrated in Japan.

(These pages are Japanese only)

And it is said that it would come out in September.

where can we get the latest rev dfi nf4 boards?

I haven't seen it yet. I don't think it's available so far

Rumors from inq says DFI will hit very soon.
But that might be long anyway.

My old OCZ powerstream 420W has the 8 pin connector on it. Boy am i excited to get that board. :D

PS. I want to get something straight. There are 2 board coming out , correct ? One is the RDX200 chip and the other is the second revision of the current NF4 line ?

i think so turbo div
my 520 powerstream has 8 pin too weeee im glad to use dual 12v line source for cpu powa!!!!

No2 vaporizer reviews

i might get the nforce 4 version tho it looks the same but just nvidia chip. im not really into sli or xfire but like the most fun/overclockable mobo hehe

my seasonic S12 has the 8pin.............................................. .......

:YIPPIE:

Guys, the 8 pin connector has only +12V and GND wires; instead you can use the ATX12V 4pin connector that's apparently missing: it fits right in and does the job.

Exactly :)

All this nonsense that you need a PSU with a dedicated 8 pin connector is just that, nonsense

You guys worry too much $55 36A 12V rail with 24 pin and 8 pin..http://www.newegg.com/OldVersion/app...182-010&DEPA=0
