Huh? It's up to 1.75 depending on CPU. IIRC, it basically works out to stock +.3 between the .2 overvolt and allowing .1 without the overvolt option.

Looks like it's pulled already... :(

Available already in the UK...if you get one post benches ASAP.

Im hoping to see a sample soon, the thing you need to look out for in the DDRSkew IC's that have been enhanced, these allow for some real high overclocks at 1T, which is much better than the A8R MVP.

I have a copy of the review but can not post it, the print review option on AT is pretty slick for capturing whole reviews at once ;)

Curses, it's pulled already :(
When is the NDA supposed to end?

there is 1 guy in OcUK forums went down to the store above 2 days ago and bought the board

My original A8R-MVP turned out not to be cherry at all. I overlooked the fact in my review that the board reset to 2T at the 265 wall and was actually reporting the 325 OC which REQUIRED 2T timings. THAT will NEVER happen again, although I'm sure i will find new mistakes to make. We bought several retail boards and found anyone with the right memory and PS could do 320+ at 2T on the A8R-MVP, but not at 1T.

There are also some technical things going on with the A8R-MVP we were not aware of. We didn't know at the time that Asus had first used their Auto Clock Skew on the A8R-MVP. That's the reason it OC'ed so well, but it's also why it required 2T. The Auto Clock Skew on the A8R32-MVP Deluxe is a much refined and more effective version of this feature. We have even heard rumors that DFI will have an auto clock skew feature on their new RD580.

And you're right. This is a retail, release motherboard and not a pre-production. ATi was originally going to introduce RD580 WITH the R580 (X1900XT) on January 20th. We have heard that Asus had boards ready then when they learned the launch was delayed by ATI until March 2nd.

Found this on anandtech's forums.

Is a mastercard still required with the rd580 chipsets?

Why was the review pulled? I saw it briefly and catured a pic of it and read the first page but that's it.

NDA i'm assuming.

I read through it about an hour ago. Looks like it will be a VERY nice board. I might pick one up to play with when they come out.

interesting if the price if right :)

Was 143pounds in the Uk so looks to be a $200 board in the US.

I have a feeling these boards may be on sale soon, people have already bought them so any NDA would be useless once benches are up.

Hah.. Thats cool. His board has black PCB, the anandtech reveiw was the standard brown. I'd love for it to have a black PCB. That was honestly the only thing I didn't like about the board lmao. That and there overclocking results where in 2T :rolleyes:

No m8 the AT review showed the A8R MVP which is brown and the A8R 32 MVP which is black...asus moved it to deluxe so that brought on the black PCB.

Both boards were showed one of top of the other so you can compare

Oh.. guess i didn't look at the pictures close enough. Thanx Tony!

Yeah I copied the pic. The A8R was shown in brown just above the A8R32 which was black. So ...you should get your wish to have a black board afterall! :woot:

Well we will we shortly when it gets into someones hands here

Looks very interesting...think i will deff have one of these soon and a mastercard to go along with my x1900xtx

ooooooooooh is this board meant to be good ? :D

Looks like an Hard launch for RD580 is planned, and I hope boards are there for others too. Crossifre is still weak tho with this Mastercard thing and cable-mess.

Any DFI with RD580 soon? TBH, Asus is out of my horizon since the KT133A chipsets :D

I'm actually kinda skeptic on Asus.. the last one I had was absolute junk for overclocking (A8V Deluxe). I guess we'll see when the time comes, the review looked nice and i plan on going x1900 CF.

Still only 3-phase power.

I'm gonna look out for DFI, twisting my thumbs in hope that they will release a God-like RD580 board.
