DFI LANParty RD580 Crossfire - On the horizon?

[FragTek]

Anyone heard rumors or seen pix of the RD580 mobo from DFI? I have a feeling that this board will be a true force to be reckoned with. So much so that I'd probably ponder selling my Expert and 7800's to go with a pair of XTX's in CF. The current RDX200 is pretty much a failure in the CF department as the architecture was so new for Crossfire at the time. The RD580 chipset + DFI build quality should change how the world plays computer games, at least IMHO.

Anyone else?

Hmm I'll take a look at some reviews and maybe fire i up

Well its supposed to be released mid-late february so you are not far off , currently Asus released their RD580 i believe , seen a review few days ago.

 

[FragTek]

Yup, they did. It's supposed to be pretty damn nice too. Only has 3 phase power from what I've read though, that's a bit on the weaktastic side for a performance mobo.

I believe that was the basic value release i guess , i ve read black pcb version with deluxe futures coming soon with cool layout , then again no match for DFI

I found the review that someone had saved and zipped up... It's the black PCB board dubbed the "A8R32-MVP Deluxe". Looks like a decent board, nothing that really gets me hot though.

Attached is the Anandtech article for the A8R32-MVP Deluxe ---> http://www.fragtek.com/downloads/a8r32-mvp.zip 3.5mb

Look what else I found... MUAHAHAH This would be a pic of the new DFI RD580 mobo, yayx0rz!

Nice.

Not sure I like the chip being right by a PCI-E slot tho (black HS). And whats with the tonne's of capacitors??

 

[FragTek]

"Tons of capacitors"? I don't see many more than the Expert has...

*hand up* Its in a box in the loft

I may think about it tho

I just noticed that it has a built-in debug code reader like my old EPoX w00t!
