OMFG the board I have been waiting ages for :O:O *counts pennies and waits for release*
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am so gonna buy this, omfg!
anyone know when i can use 2x 6800gt/ultra for SLI?
Will be able to do when the mobo releases? omfg cant wait.-..
There are some eVGA 6800U PCI-E backordered...
So i'm pretty sure you can buy 2 of those when this board comes out.
My plan is to buy this crazymobo + Top-Of-The-Line 6800U,
Then after a month or 2 i'll add another one... :D
But, my 6800GT i have now, can i buy another 6800GT and mix them together with SLI?
Does the gfx not need the SLI connector stock?
Should be able to. I have a 6600 GT at home which is SLI compatible. I'm sure the SLI connector comes with the motherboard.
OMG!
:slobber:
*please dear mighty god, don't let it be more expensive then 150€ / 170US-$*
:D
Yeah it is going to be a bad @ss board...but I wouldn't nowhere near have the money to buy the board Skt939 AMD64 and 2 GFXs cards. That is alot of money right there. I will stick with what I got and watch the results of how this board does.
is ur current GT agp or pci-e?Quote:

it has to be PCIe.....SLI is PCIe-only
PCI-E only. Also you need a card that has approved by nvidia to work in SLI, you can't just get a 5900 PCI-E and run it SLI mod...
p4z1f1st:
Yeah that is my wish too... :(
ugp:
These days a 939 can be very value.
But if you want the best you need to spend some money on dual cards :D
Still you can get NF4 (You get nice performance boost and some new features) SLI mobo + one SLI card, when save some extra money you can add another one...
It's the best upgrade path... That's why a wated SO long! ;)
wow thats feaking nuts! is it just me or did anybody else notice the 4 pin connector on the mobo?
Yep I just figured my card is teh AGP ^_^
I'll just sell it.. man o man dfi nf4 with 2x 6800gt... makes me just wanna sleep for some months and buy it when i wake up :P
To cool you off a little bit, the DFI reps at dfi-street.com keep saying they have got no specific details about the upcoming DFI Socket939 boards. So the board pictured might as well be just a "show-off sample" never to be produced in count of more than one.
Here: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/show...?threadid=2412
On the other hand, we can just keep continue dreaming, nothing wrong about that ;) And I'm doing it as well - go DFI!
don`t the 6800 cards need the SLI connectors on the outside edge of the card??
I haven`t seen any yet with it.
just a question, anybody knows if is possible to run two x800xt pci-e in the SLI mode?
Did anyone notice the Molex connector ont he motherboard below the Skt? I assume that is for the GFX system...am I right?
i don't think, ATi is not interesting by the sli modeQuote:

what's going on Oskar?! tell your boss, that he shall decrease the price :D

8 s-ata ports, lol.
Looks like a very cool board.
If you wanna run a Radeon in "SLI" mode you're gonna have to get a Alienware AXL system.
My plan is similiar to others with regards to SLI, except I'm gonna wait for a price drop on the GTs towards the end of next year, as I doubt I'll have 300 quid to blow on another card until then anyway.
Still, if the card drops to say .. 60% of its original price by then, like previous geneations have, thats a pretty good boost you'll get for the price. Maybe economically better than buying a next gen card when they come out.
don`t you just use a ribbin style cable and connect the two SLi cards together at the connecter on the edge of the card??Quote:

No ribbon cable for this new incarnation of SLI (you must be thinking of the old voodoo 2 SLI that used ribbon cable). There is a small pcb that connects the 2 cards together for the new PCI express SLI.
thats not all i think, you need that bridge piece of pcb plus you have to connect both cards first dvi plugs with a cable, no?
im not sure, but i think ive seen that somewhere... or am i messing it up with alx?
8 s-ata ports seems to be state of the art on NF4 Boards.Quote:

@ saaya: no - just the PCB-Bridge to connect both cards together

(flash-animation at the end)
The whole SLI thing is WAY outta my budget for awhile, but it'll be fun to watch some xtreme guys play with them. :cool:
uhh oc-forums ripped this from an image posted on XS a day or two ago by sxs1100.
whys everyone woo-ing now, that pics been around here for a day or two, fuggin a
Do I see 4 DIMM slots? :eek:
That link says the 6800 Ultra is supported for SLI, that`s the first I herd of that, I thought SLI support was for 6800 GTs and lower.Quote:

so:
6600GT
6800
6800LE
6800GT
6800Ultra
but how i said: only the PCIe-versions of that cards will have the SLI-connector at the top of the PCB
so, not all PCI-e VCs will have SLI support right?
Found a 6600 GT card looks like it has the place for the SLI PCB to connect to.
do i have to repeat myself? :rolleyes: ;)Quote:

the cooler is too big ;)
bad pic, but here the position of the SLI-C (that's a 6600GT)
http://www2.alternate.de/html/main/p...J9XE03&view=0&
Well, on nVidia.com it says that only the 6800 Ultra & GT, as well as the 6600GT will be SLI-capable, it seems like 6800 non-ultra and LE will only run alone ... but those are not available as PCI Express versions right now - maybe they're only thought for AGP? But anyway, it's not like any of other versions are REALLY available for PCIe ... ;) (at least not in Germany!)
Chaintech 6600 GT on my desk.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v349/solo_za/SLI.jpg
Then you use the connecting board below and if I'm not mistaken you set up the one card as the master and the other the slave. Only the master is then connected to the monitor.
BTW - this card gets 8000 in 3DMark03 with Chaintech Intel915 mobo and P4 775 3.2 GHz Prescott with BH5 @ 2-2-2-5 200 Mhz all default settings.
all this is great fun but does anyone actually have any idea when these boards will hit the shelves?
No.Quote:

it's next to the agp! :mad:
replacing the original heatsink with something bigger will not be an option, i presume...
let's just hope that this is just a show off sample,
and the final layout will change :D
may you please tell me more about that?Quote:

the alienware thing in alienware only, gotta buy one of their overpriced PC's if you want it.
man, don't panic :rolleyes:Quote:

@ ALX: the third point in the comparison of SLI and ALX at the differences of both systems is nice :slobber::
WHAT THE HELL?!??! 4x GF6800Ultra's ?!?! :banana: :slobber: :banana: :DQuote:
[b]"3. Alienware’s Video Array is not limited to 2 video cards. Future implementations may take advantage of this and put 4 or more video cards into one system. This would probably be more geared towards professional applications like rendering farms."[b]
hmm......SLI has 60-90% performance-boost, and ALX has 50-70%........but with ALX i could implement 4cards in my (really, really, really expensive) PC :slobber:
what will have then?
300fps @ Doom3 ?
>100k @ 2k1 ?
>50k @ 2k3 ?
>20k @ (fuc*ing-ultra-lazy-crap) 2k5 ?
....looool.....and what a PSU i'll need for 4 graphic-cards? 800Watt? :wierd:
probly need a good 800-1000watt psu..
gpus are 70-110watts.. i believe.
Man oh man...
If they would release a motherboard and technology etc for 4 graphics cards at the same time, I'd spend my life savings buying 4 6800Ultras ^^
