It's time to FORGET working a Yorkfield on a i680/i780 chipset...

[tombman]

FYI, i just called EVGA germany and they told me they KNOW that there are problems with Yorkfield and 680i mobos. P31 is NOT the bios that will solve all the problems, a NEW bios will come out beginning of december that will solve all problems.

So don't psyche, nvidia will not let you in the cold

It will be interesting to see how this pans out now that there is manufacturer confirmation that the issue exists. And with that confirmation it's time that a couple of people give Hipro the respect he deserves and apologize.

there is no lack of respect for Hipro and I'm sure he knows that. It was just a little fatalistic to say it the way he did. I'm sure he's seen worse than this thread. I will say though, his title did catch my attention and I knew right away I needed to keep an eye on this thread.

I still don't believe it's an Intel/nVidia feude. Just par for the course when it comes to nVidia.

I dunno what voodoo you guys are working to get these things posting. I sure as hell can't get it (qx9650) to post on my dfi 680i LT.

they are all working on the bios including DFI but it will take time unfortunately so that's the bottom line

If you look at Steam survey:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=165628
Multi-GPU Systems (100 of 19219 Total Users (0.52% of Total)

and consider that mean something,
or consider sli support with vista
...
you see that it's far to be clear that Intel shot in their foot if they don't have sli (intel or nvidia chipset)

that survey is flawed it doesnt detect i have sli, i wonder how many others it didnt see.

[froste]

Yes as you read......I think that there are BAD NEWS....
i680 and i780 will NOT support retail Yorkfield as I informed....
I hope they find a solution but I realy doupt about that.....

NVIDIA doesn't give licence for the SLI to INTEL, so INTEL is "playing tricks" with them with the new CPUs....

.

WR already broken in 01 with a Yorkfield QX9650 and "next generation" NVIDIA SLI platform On DRY ICE!

More coming soon I guarantee...

[iadstudio]

o noes! it looks like it's bad news for nVidia!

I knew it was just a matter of time.

Is it from the eVGA event?

[froste]

Is it from the eVGA event?

Yes, at Geforce LAN 4 EVGA booth.

CPU was running at almost 5.3 (dICE)

[Omastar]

Yeah, doesn't make sense for nVidia's 780i to not support Yorkfield. I have great reservations that Intel would cook this up just to get back at nVidia and completely alienate a subset of its customers.

680i may be different, but it claims on eVGA's site that the 680i boards WILL support 45nm CPUs with a BIOS update, but obviously the BIOS update to ACTUALLY support the CPUs is forthcoming, not here.

Vince ownz. Brand new board, just dry ice, and all it takes is part of a weekend for 01 (and I'm assuming 06 is coming up soon) to get flatlined.

[dinos22]

that board looks very familiar

sooooo did anyone see how he ran his '01 order

[hipro5]

Fellas.....Take in consideration that I'm not Intel or NVIDIA as I wrote you.....
They do what they have to do and I don't care.....

I only report what I have seen till now and what I was told by ppl working IN the "industry"....

IF NVIDIA solves the problem with the York and the i680 chipset (for example), I - firstly - will be more than happy.....

IF they don't, I have to buy a new SLI mobo to bench.....

Maybe they want to "play it" as Intel does.......Making NEWER chipset so to support the new York and we will buy it for playing SLI.....by telling everybody that i680 will not support it coz bla, bla, bla......

It's all about money as my friend Gorillakos says....


EDIT: Hmmm I see Vince is benching......

[saaya]

go vince go
too bad they didnt spill some black paint on that board, the green looks kinda weird with everything else black

[Fr3ak]

Sorry about your troubles.

There is a difference between how the retails and ESes are handled. (In fact, some of the latest ESes act like retails AFAIK) ESes should be stuck at 6x, the cause is something beyond EIST.

When we tested the EVGA 680i last weekend with a beta BIOS directly from a EVGA engineer, the QX9650 was detected with a multi of 6. With speedstep enabled, CPU-Z displayed the multi that wsa set in BIOS and I can assure you the CPU was running at the right speed

But that was a ES CPU and not a retail one.

[OBR]

Fr3eak - the same situation is on Striker, but i said it before - this is BS, nForce680+780 fully support Yorkies ... but we have here some inter-company battle i suppose ...
Intel want to selll many X38(crappy X48) mobos, not even CPUs ...

[Sadhiq]

Quite a nice move for Ati that Intel just made

[flopper]

Did someone in Nvidia piss an Intel guy off?

[Planet]

Looks good cant wait to see more pics and screenshots

[Charles Wirth]

I had a chance to speak with one of the Nvidia engineers this weekend and I was told exactly what the problem is with 680i problem running Yorkfield, I will ask for an official written response, plausible and understandable.

One would assume they are dedicating all resources to to get the 780i out by Christmas but there is an obvious problem with early operation on 680i.

hmm, so is nvidia going to give us all new boards, and asus and the like, cause I ahve 2 boards that say 45nm ready

[Kayin]

I'll take a second board. Even though this one so far is fine... I did want Q9450...

[BeardyMan]

according to my sig it's time to forget Yorkfield

The overall 3DMark06 scores show the Phenom is more positive light than they should because of the different graphics cards at work on the two testing setups -- remember the Phenoms were running dual Radeon HD 3850 cards while the Intel Core 2 and AMD Athlon CPUs were running a single 8800 GTX card. The CPU tests aren't affected though and once again the Phenoms split the pack of existing dual- and quad-core CPUs.

[Skratch]

If I need a new board,Im not buying an nvidia chepset any more.My intel 975x dfi board did circles around my asus striker extreme.It also had cheap heats sinks on it and if it had the stuff the striker has it would of embassed it even more.

I'm sticking with intel chipsets from now on and from everything I have seen,they are way more stable than any others.

read this nvidida you can take your 370-410 fsb hole chipset and stick it up your ass,I can't believe Ipaid 350 for this board,thats almost enought to get a am2 board,chipand some ram from the other side.

[OBR]

Yeah, if nvidia lies to me about 45nm support, i f*ck for SLI and will buy X38+ only One GFX ... nvidia no more ...
