AMD 790GX lineup

[ea6gka]

anyone knows why these and in general amd boards have their DIMMs stacked together?

Just a guess: an old habbit from the 939 hey days when 99% of the people
had 2 sticks only?

[Newblar]

so the new 790GX has IGPs on them? hybrid xfire, and lower power consumption for amd now?

I'm not sure what you mean, you can already get hybrid and low power consumption in a 780G. I'm guessing you think the 790FX is being replaced by the GX, but the GX is more replacing the X I think. So the lineup will be (I think):

790FX+SB600 --> 790FX+SB750
790X+SB600 --> 790GX+SB750
780G+SB700 --> Might get re-released, don't know.

The 790X may not be going away, but I haven't heard anything new regarding them and it would seem the GX is a natural replacement.

the GX has integrated Graphics. The 790x does not.....at least thats what I thought.

Yeah the X doesn't, but I don't know if they'll keep making the X when the GX appears to be the same + IGP (it also has two PCIe slots).

It's this:

RD790/SB600 --> RD790/SB750
RS780D/SB750
RD780/SB600 --> RD780/(SB700/SB750)?
RS780/SB700 (already here)
RS780C/SB700 (already here)

Basicly current boards with SB700 are all more value-ish boards and they most likely wont get an upgrade to SB750.

RS780D will be released with SB750 right away, RD790 will get a re-launch. I dont know what is happening with RD780. It might actually get a re-launch although I think I saw a RD780/SB700 combo already so then it maybe wont. RD780 isnt used a lot anyhow so maybe it will be dumped too.

And does anyone know if the SB750 will help dual core overclocking at all?

ACC currently only works with Phenoms according to Anand

That looks a whole lot better than what was shown on Cebit.

Here is the box and further specs

[demonkevy666]

are there any new sb750 coming with 4 PCI express slots or what ?

The 790FX boards are. Dont look at the RS780D boards, they've simply not enough PCIe lanes to make use of 4 PCIe (16x) slots.

DFI's RS790/SB750 boards will have just as their first ones just 3 PCIe 16x slots, although it has a PCIe 4x slot as well. Probably Asus' RD790/SB750 board will have 4 PCIe 16x ports, most likely MSI's and Gigabyte's (if they're going to re-release the RD790) too.

My new 790gx board was just ordered and in step 1 on newegg...
My wife INSIST I sell the K9A2 Platinum now...

Will I be okay with a X4 9950 on a 4 phase vcore + 1 phase nb design on the DFI board? I know more phases doesn't mean it's good if it's poorly designed

Great! Eager to hear results! Which one did you get?

Yes that is it.. Thanks to Quake6 I believe..
It isn't even on Gigabytes website yet....

Gigabyte always seems to have boards up first on Newegg. And of course they are my least favorite brand. ><

[oldpueblo]

Foxconn one is up for $127.99 with free shipping.

Damn, prices on both boards are very reasonable for all the features (solid caps, etc). I thought I would have to wait a month or so for the price gouging to stop.

I predict that AMD is going to sell a LOT of these chips. No wonder all the motherboard manufacturers were silent when Nvidia inquired if they should continue to make chipsets.....

[charged3800z24]

It is funny how everyone was wondering when they would show up on e-tailers sites.. and no one has said anything about them.. has Anand's site updated their review?.. I wonder if Deneb will sneak out the same...? strange thing at AMD ..

Nice pictures of the DFI Jr. This is the board I have been waiting on to make its appearance. From the pictures it looks like DFI Jr. has the on board sideport graphics memory.

Also, look at the Northbridge heatsink. It looks like it is designed to easily accept a 40mm fan(?) in the center of the heatsink. If so, good job DFI,

[xVeinx]

Two questions: how many phases (in theory anyway) are required for the 125-140 watt processors? As well, just to re-verify, we're pretty certain these boards will support Deneb correct? I'm considering a Deneb build just for the heck of it, but I'm not sure if any of the current phenoms would be well supported by these boards or not, and if I'm better off waiting for Deneb release (which could be any time this fall really).
