ASUS ROG Rampage III Extreme

[GTi-6]

Awesome, that would reduce the cost for the board. Should cost less than the overpriced classifieds.

In the earlier posts, they mentioned that it will be the highest priced ROG board.

I have read somewhere that it will feature:

- 4 PCIe 16x mechanically
- no NF200 chip

x16/x16/x16/x16 without 2xNF200 or 2xX58? How is that bandwith possible?

I think the feature is told us the PCIE slot is use x16(mechanically) not mean bandwidth.

IIRC, JJ told that board has both analog and digital. He mentioned that it can give low switching freq like analogs and high switching freqs like digitals.

I think Asus canceled the 2x NF200 version for this board.

Maximus III Extreme (P55) is digital/analog hybrid, this board is full digital. We dropped the NF200 on the Rampage III for now.

It is x8/x8/x8/x8 or x16/x16 or x16/x8/x8. There is a mechanical switch operation that will allows you to determine which slots to run x16 when in dual card mode. So, slots 1 and 4 can be set to dual x16 as an example.

Does it support CrossFire?

[zalbard]

Yeah, of course.
Up to QuadFire!

I'm looking forward to this board. I hope it won't be delayed to April or a later date. Sooner is better.

Booth M3E and R3E use the same DC/DC transformation solution for the CPU. Only difference is on component level and the layout. The main difference (simplified) between this digital solution and the normal (e.g. volterra) is that it do not circuit thru all "phases". Every phase is generated on its own to allow low switching freq aswell as high, ranging from 250 to 1000kHz. So on that note you can say it is a hybrid since it brings a nice part of analog to a fully digital power solution

its good to see smaller companies like evga having an influence on the big manufacturers when it comes to motherboard design and features! better for all of us. adjustable frequency (although not as high as the classified), pci-e slot disable like the classified, dual 8 pins and digital pwm like the classified, and nice layout (better than the E762 if this is e-atx and not xl-atx) although the lack of dual nf200s would be needed if 300 series can be implemented into 4 way SLI to trick nvidia drivers into thinking its quad-sli similar to current gen. overall looks good

now to see if asus feels the need to make a dual cpu overclocker to keep up!

Might be old news but:
This board took the world record in 3DMarkV. Swedish OCers Sampsa and Stummerwinter got 47 002 points. Some pics n stuff here (http://www.sweclockers.com/nyhet/104...ge_iii_extreme) . They started out with 18 Radeon HD 5870 card and choose the four best for a go at the record =)

Wow, I like some of the new features. Might not be a clone board after all!

E760 FS

March/April might be the last update to my rig, RIIE (especially because of the USB3.0 and SATA 6gbps features for future proof, I doubt it performs better than the Classified) and 2xGTX380 and I won't invest any $ in it for some years (I hope lol).

[kgtiger]

Fantastic, man am I really glad I didn't buy the R2E last night.
This board looks sweet, well maybe not in colour but most deffenetly in it's hardware.
Really looking forward to the realease date.

[GTi-6]

I guess it will be available in March/April...

[WaterFlex]

It must be available before Gulfies come. February then.

[SCHUMACHER]

Launch time should be sometime around Gulftown, not set yet.
Board isn't final yet, also tweak on thermal module and overclocking ability.
Due to Chinese new year for both Taiwan & China, February timeframe is less likely though.
R3E is aiming for unleashing the potential of Gulftown for sure, it must and will be better than R2E.

[Utnorris]

Now if we can find out the price.

[madmax999]

I like it already even she's not out yet

[tistou77]

there is no LCD POSTER with this R3E?

[Papagaj]

there is no LCD POSTER with this R3E?

For what reason mate? I have never ever used it.... it's just hanging on the wire

BTW the board looks awesome And I'm pretty sure that i'll get it when it's released and attach 980X with it

[tistou77]

was a question I posed to the LCD Poster

but I do not see the connector on the motherboard to plug it, I suppose there is no

[Papagaj]

Yes i completly understood you m8 )) You are sad that you don't see LCD poster and Im asking for what ? Don't tell me for OCing purposes hehe
