Hi there,
Ive just ordered 2x BFG 6800 Ultra pci-e
:toast:
but still now DFI nf4 board availabe :|
Now I've been wondering, is it more than 2-3 weeks?
If so, I must order another nf4 until that DFi board comes,
I cant just have 2x6800 Ultra cards doing nothing for 2-3weeks now can I.
The wait is killing me, hehe
And if there is more than 2-3 weeks to the DFi board, what board should I get in the meen time?
THanks
ps. Þetta verður þokkalega geggjað ;)
Man ur loaded, but it should be coming out in 1-2 weeks, the nf4 ultra. MSI Neo4 is the best alternative.
Shouldnt the DFI nf4 ultra and SLi come at the same time?
read somewhere in the huge DFI ultra thread the sli version is tomorrow 1/27 and ultra is 2/03. Correct me if i'm wrong.
here are the e-mails I recieved this week from DFI:
"Hi All,
Please be advised that the shipment for NF4 has been pushed out to 1/31.
Manny"
and
"It is indeed true that we found some last minute hardware issues and have since issues a change on all production boards. Along with the h/w modification is a new BIOS. You will find that once the changes are done, the boards will run smoother with a wide range of memory and processors.
Best Regards,
Vivian"

This isn't 100% proof of any official release date. In all honesty without DFI announcing something officially you can't be sure really.
What was posted on DFI-Street seems reasonable though.
Ok thanks,
I'll then try to wait for it ;)

Very curious to find out what the problem was.
I've gotten my retail board..the ultra...in Taipei. So they're out I supposed.

Sotr, i'm so jealous that you already got your hands on the nforce4 dfi!! post us some results when you get the chance.
You seem to have the money, why just don't buy a Asus and play with your ultras on that one til DFI comes out ;)Quote:

Yeah this is bull man.. I think they just said soon so people would wait! I never thought i'd be waiting around for the MB but insted i thought i'd be waitin for a 6800 Ultra to show.. Now i have 2 XFX 6800 Ultras in box untouched waitin on a freakin SLI SFI board.. Hell i cant even find an FX-55 retail!
:D Maybe the "last-minute-bug" only hit the SLI and SLi-DR, heard that the first charge ULTRA's for Europe arrived in the Netherlands today (27.01.).
So what is right and what is wrong ??? I preordered an ULTRA.
:toast:
I'm running on a pentium 4 3.0 ghz, an IC7-G, and a 32 MEGABYTE NVIDIA TNT2 because I hocked my AGP x800 xt pe in preparation for SLI.

HPM has excellent customer care though - anyway, the SLI-DR was delayed from 24,01,2005 to 03,02,2005.
Boo hoo, a couple of days more. Its coming right after my exams, so the timing is quite nice!
Thanks for your replys.
Im gona put my hopes on 1st feb, if not, maybe I'll just take the MSI board
First time I ordered from HPM, and till now, I'm very surprised with their customer care :toast:Quote:

Now you know why Dell will not make AMD PCs. No serious company wants to put up with this nonsense from AMD and AMD board makers. Only enthusiasts.
Oh yeah, I forgot about all the hardcore OC mobo's over the years in my optiplex's and Dimension PC's at work. They must have been sitting right next to the Yeti's.Quote:

Diff markets diff mobo's, it's far from an apples to apples comparison. So go crap on another thread.
P.S I know that Dell have a half assed gamer system now, but thats not the same as what DFI have here with a mobo thats geared to the hardcore OC'er.
and this was for the USA market. Overseas may be slightly different.Quote:

The NF4 SLI-D arrived today - the other version will come in soon.
:toast:
Ok sounds sweet :) I like HPM though, their customer care is above oc-wear (where i got my G.SKill).Quote:

if those pci-expr. lanes can be variably assigned to the peg-slots there will possibly be a hack for the ultra to allow 8x+8x :hehe:
or maybe its possible to simply flash the ultra-d with the sli-d bios
hehe there is a hack. Pencil a gap with a 2b and your all set to go!
yeah but it will only allow 16x+2x mode im afraidQuote:

No, SLI DR has the extra SATA ports from the Silicon image controller.
Cheers, dEl.

For people in the UK who ordered from OcUK. They now have preorder changed to 1-3 days.
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Socket_939.html
what?!? u need to read the anandtech article again, it enables 8x + 8x if u pencil it. The only difference between sli and ultra chipsets is that gap.....Quote:

What the heck are we talking about here?
resistors? where has this thread gone?
It's the unofficial reason for the last minute "hardware change". Bottom line is the "retail" boards should be working real nice next week.
Found this on DFI-Street, for people wondering what the issue they found could've been. As the guy says though it's the "unofficial reason". So I'm not sure how reliable this information is.
i know its retarded to speculate what the "hardware change" is, but i strongly, strongly believe it has to do with the SLI-mod...eg. Nvidia complained and dfi is doing something so the boards cannot be modded to SLI anymore.
Its pure speculation on my side..but i really think it could be the case.
the only way that would be possible would be if they changed the pcb though.
