In short, both AMD and NVIDIA discovered that their next-generation graphics cards are superior to each others' last-generation graphics cards.
Newegg is a little bit slow :\
and im drooling all over my computer from those pictures...![]()

Well done OcUK, lets hope more places follow suit with a bit of a price war
A64 @2720 w/ RBX, DFI NF4 Ultra, Radeon X800XL w/ Maze 4, Antec NeoPower 480, 1GB Geil PC4000, IIyama 19" monitor and maxtor diamondmax 80 + 30GB
Hum can't seem to find a supplier from Canada yet pre-ordering it ;(
I'll pass on the price war. DFI motherboards have never been cheap, nor do i expect them to be cheap.Originally Posted by Feiticeira
I'm getting the first one i can get my hands on, as long as its not more than $400.
Actually, even 400+![]()
I haven't had my computer for a long time now, i cant wait to get it back together. No way I'm waiting ANOTHER 2 months.
In short, both AMD and NVIDIA discovered that their next-generation graphics cards are superior to each others' last-generation graphics cards.
people are willing to shell out $400 for a mobo (LOLOLOL) just based on hearsay ("dfi is a nice brand") - and NOT based on real reviews ?
Is there ANY real review of the dfi NF4 board yet ? I didnt see any...
wow 400+ that's killer even if it does have all the little extra "features" I still don't think it's worth it to meMaybe because i'm not hardcore enough eheh. But more power to you if you can shell out 400 bucks.
its like 270 euros so like 350usd. not 400++

I have put off upgrading for far, far too long. [Vapochilled Athlon 1200/100 at 1466/133].
I am definitely upgrading this time no matter what, and this board looks extremely attractive! What I am trying to figure out is whether I am going for SLI or not.
At overclockers.com Ed mentioned something about how dual core CPU's may be better for SLI, if each core can be dedicated to each gpu. He brought this up because with SLI the scores seem heavily CPU dependant, and CPUs do not seem to be getting faster in speed anytime soon.
Does dedicating a core to each GPU sound like a good idea for the future, or was that statement in itself ridiculous? Just wondering about all your opinions since there are some pretty intelligent people on this forum..

Hopefully, as the drivers mature, SLI will become more efficient, and we will see a reduction in CPU dependenceOriginally Posted by TysonM

Hmm. IMHO it's good to add as much cpu power as you can as fillrate ain't maxed out as fast as with just one card. So it's equal either you have a dual cpu SLI system or just one really fast processor. To max out the cards is the problem, so it does not really matter how you get the nescessary cpu powerOriginally Posted by TysonM

the nmaybe ou can get a PSU for each core and gfx card
then once ram becomes a bottle neck. a gig of DDR2 for each core and gfx card
wow a midrange comp is going ot cost like 5000 in a year or two
For anyone highly interested in the AGP version of this board!
QUOTE:
Heres an answer i got from DFI TW

Just reassure me, there is going to be no difference in performance between the DFI LanParty UT NF4 SLI-D and the DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D is there, as I only want the Ultra as I will be getting an X850?
And I don't know what people are on about being expensive, the Ultra-D is only £105, compared to the MSI neo Plat 4 Ultra which is £130!!! ANd they DFI is going to own it. Even the SLI version is cheaper than the MSI.
if things go to 2 gpus on a card running sli that would be good news for everyone who gets the plain ultra board as it can still do that sli unless im misunderstanding.
I know what u mean about the waiting J but a pre order price war would be a nice thing, as u can still get it as soon as its available, although i dont see much chance of it happening.

no performance difference with an x850 between them no.

I hope it has the bomber sound and sweet high end server board mosfets/caps too:banana4:
The external soundcard will FINALLY put an end to all the screeching and hissing in onboard sound. THANK YOU DFI.

I know nothing about this onboard sound, is it actually any good? How does it compare to the old onboard sounstorm or and Audigy?

While it's probly very normal-sounding in Chinese, if they had a decent translator, they would have just said, "Look, that's too goofy for those spoiled Americans, let's change it."
