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.Quote:

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 :(Quote:

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.Quote:

yea, didn't DFI come up with something exclusive to connect two video cards( driver?)Quote:

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.

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
Ei I thought OT was also deadQuote:

can anyone tell me the difference between them ?
sli-D has Raid 0/1 and sli-dr supports dual raid, The Ultra-D is-non sli with
dxg instead.
More info read this:

im too lazy to explain more to much food on day off waiting for DFI nF4
to hit e-tailers :p:
dxg ?

DXG > (Dual Xpress Graphics)
goto the link explains it all.
Trans_Am.....
I think I saw a Jwalk posting at the H forums but I could be wrong.
so, do i see right, that on the NF4 Ultra-D SLI won't work instead of DXG?
Wish i had the money
I am willing to bet Nvidia did not seal itself off from the rest of the market. For now I bet they are going to take the spearhead of the SLi sales on their motherboards and then make a deal with ATI. Considering ATI is going to be using drivers for SLi and the NF4 SLi can configure for two 8x PCI lanes the ATI cards will most likely be able to work through the two 8x lanes. Just because Nvidia has a physical connector for SLi doesn't mean there aren't two ways to skin a cat. But hey, this is just MY specualtion.Quote:

zzzzzzzzzz. im darn near sick of waiting for nf4 boards :(Quote:

Antec only makes one model which is sleeved and has PCI-E support, that is the NEO. It's a whole different model, I assume they won't do it for you.Quote:

What? give me a link to that. I don't really trust tom's hardware, but that is some nice info.
yea me neither about toms hardware, which was why i was reluctant to even mention it.
the thing about the sli connector is on this same article, but here is direct link to ati and nvidia together
http://graphics.tomshardware.com/gra...rmance-32.html
Edit: maybe i was wrong about which card plays nice and which is difficult, but i know one didn't have as many problems.
I read that. Looks like they rendered 2 seperate images instead of 1 image.
I sitt cant choose:
6800GT or X850XT and this talking about SLI and ATI cards also working with SLI doesn´t make it easier :(

Has anyone here ever pre-ordered an item from ComputerHQ before? I was thinking about pre-ordering the DFI SLi but i'm not sure how it works. Will they notify me when the board comes in with info on the exact model and price before they ship it to me?
And one last measurement in UT2004 without the SLI connector hooked up, 1600x1200 4xAA/8xAF:
With SLI connector (2 cards): 153.3 FPS
Without SLI connector disabled (2 cards): 133.0 FPS
Single card (1 card): 101.1 FPS
thats a quote from the performance analysis, with ATI and nvidia they rendered two separate images, but in the UT2k4 with two 6800Gt's they rendered the same image without the SLI connector.
Skip, I see your currently running a P3. What's your next big upgrade ?
Im just glad ATI is doing it the simpler and more elegant way. God forbid if I somehow break the connector or lose it somewhere.
The difference is that Nvidia way work on any motherboard having 2 pci-E that u can plug ur grafix card on
Ati way will only work on chipset and board using their technology
Any word on when ATI will actually have their solution available?
