DFI LANParty nF4 SLI-DR Venus - First Look - Sweeeeet

[FragTek]

Ok well I'm too lazy to copy this thread from XS and give all due credit so I'm just going to link you right too it... But before that I must make a few comments

This board looks truely amazing. Why they didn't put all aluminum jap caps on the Expert to begin with is beyond me. I could definately see where this mobo would have a lot more OC headroom with the nicer component group. Layout is exactly the same as the Expert (the same board really, just some hopped up parts). The board is still missing dual x16 PCI-E slots but who really cares. We already know that it's currently a completely pointless technology and only good as a sales pitch to n00bs. Hell we still haven't maxed the bandwidth capacity of AGP, and now you tell us we need to DOUBLE the capacity of PCI-E?!??! HAHAHAAHAHAHA I laugh at you!

Anyhow, this board looks pretty wicked sick. It will definately be on my purchase list when it comes out... This is definately the cream of the crop. It's hard to invision a nicer mobo than this one.

Hrmmm... That seems outrageously high. Maybe that's just in the UK? I was hoping for maybe $250-275.

The all aluminum jap caps are sweet... I really want one of these when they come out.

This might help knock the SLI DR prices down before i buy it later this week, or should I make it in a couple of weeks?

Yes I do not think that this is worth it Fragster. Your Expert is more than capable

The Venus is just a marketing gimmik imo.
