I think I would agree with that. I have one question (to anyone that might know) regarding PCI-e 3.0 - Is it the SB-E CPU that is not allowing for it to be used on my R4F or other X79 Motherboards?...

Isn't the GTX 780 going to be about 25-30% faster than the GTX 680? I thought the GTX 770 is the card that is the rebrand of my current card/s.

Either way, I think it might be better to stick with...

Can you still run Tri-SLI like you could on the M5F? Even at x8 x4 x4 PCI-e 3.0 speeds, that would at least give people the option.

Also, how much are those PLX chips? I don't think they are as...

That is a total screw up IMO. They should have had Tri-SLI on that board (even if it dropped the speed to x16 x8 x8).

Hmm, not sure if I should keep my 2 x 4GB GTX 680 FTW+ cards or upgrade to the GTX 780. Do you guys think the drop to 3GB Vram will make a difference in 2D surround? I wouldn't really like losing 1GB...

Would the 770 be the equivalent of the GTX 680?

Can you rephrase that?

Hmm, are the CPUs already for sale? When are the Z87 Motherboards due out? Someone in another thread told me June 2nd?

Thanks for the info. I've got some Ivy Bridge gear sitting around (MB & CPU) doing nothing, I may as well sell that gear since it's close to Haswell release and get that instead.

When is the 4770K and Z87 due out?

Edit : I don't need an exact date, just some sort of time frame as I have not been reading much about upcoming hardware the last couple of months.

When is Z87 due out?

I haven't kept up on hardware the last couple of months, so I am a bit behind.

I haven't read anything or kept up about AMD cards for quite a while. What's the latest release date expectations on their new lines of cards?

So should I go ahead and buy a GTX 680 or two now? Nothing better will be coming out for a while yet? When are AMDs new cards due? Not sure I want the hassle of AMD cards though ;).

Thanks. That is one of the threads I read, but one person seemed to have a problem with his overclocks with that BIOS. I don't really want to go back to an older BIOS. Also, my Motherboard is the...

Had a look at ROG forums and I found there are other people with the same issue. When waking up from sleep, temp sensors are stuck on 91 degrees and multiplier is locked to x12. The two threads I...

I've just overclocked my 3930K to 4.5Ghz using Offset and am having a resume from sleep issue. When I resume from sleep RealtempGT shows temps of 91 degrees on all cores and the multiplier seems to...

Have you done much testing with it? What are the stability issues? Just random crashes or is in game performance hindered?

Kinda annoyed at this because I bought the Rampage 4 Formula so I can use...

What's the best way to flash the BIOS on the R4F? Should I use ROG connect or just the EZ Flash 2?

I'm currently on 1202 and have got my overclock set up with Offset at 4.5Ghz. I'm quite happy...

Should 27.7 be bluescreening within seconds when 26.6 at the same OC passes over an hour and half at the same settings? I can also pass IBT too at the same overclock, but Prime95 27.7 Bluescreens...

Yeah, I was just asking because what you said made it seem like it's not really a board set up to go for big overclocks like the Rampage Extreme with those extra connectors.



I'm not going to...

So what do you think? Should I go with GTX 670s over the GTX 580 3GB cards or not? I'm using an X79 Asus Rampage Formula so SLI will be at PCIe 2.0 or 3.0(if they get that working) x16

What about on the Rampage 4 Formula? They don't have any of those connectors, so does that mean that I shouldn't push the board? I haven't started overclocking yet, but reading this doesn't sound...

Do you guys think the 2GB of Vram will be a hindrance in 5760 x 1200 Surround resolution Vs my two MSI GTX 580 3GB Lightning cards in SLI? Will the extra performance of two GTX 670s make up for it?

Yeah, sure it will, but I'm not waiting 12 months to upgrade. What do you think I should do now? Stick with the 580s or try 670s? I just wonder if the 2GB of RAM will be a hindrance in Surround Vs my...

Thanks a lot, appreciate the info, so the power savings would be negated by the cost of upgrading, which is pretty much what I thought. It basically comes down to performance then. I'd prefer the 4GB...
