AMAZING Performance

Pros: I put this bad boy together with 2 Yorkfield QX9775s and 4 9800GX2s and this thing SCREAMS. I can convert a 25GB Blu-Ray AVI file to DVD format in less than a minute. I run Crysis totally maxed with all goods up. 75fps all around, 75 being my limit because of my refresh rate.

Cons: PRICE! WOW. I really hit my funds on this one. But oh well, no payments for 12 months. Easy financing, a steal for me.

Other Thoughts: GET IT. You won't regret it.
i dunno, you believe him? lol

Same here.




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?

Yea right, you cannot even fit four GX2's on the board, 3 but not four. And plus, theres no drivers for 2xQuad SLI.

Crysis totally maxed? Unheard of!

Nevertheless, this is a cool board, would be a nice board to play around with.....
$660!?!?!??!?!? ouchy, thats more than a Gx2, I could got two 790i boards for that price.
