[tinytomlogan]

Your wish is our command, we have the shots of the Crosshair IV Extreme you all wanted to see!

Tissues Needed Here

So will this just have more features than the regular Crosshair IV...?

 

[Luigi]

looks like a druel worthy motherboard!

One note though - the 800 series NB have native Sata 3, so I doubt the red sata ports are sata II

I will not lie. I'm getting a bit sick with all these red+black and red+blue motherboards. Clichéd as hell. Now where is DFI when you need them?

 

[AMD_PBz]

Finally! and with a lucid chip nice!

 

[wraithien]

How much bigger is this beautiful board in comparision to the formula? Looks a little wider.

DFI have kinda wrapped up LanParty dude. You wont see any more boards from them. <- quote me on that too

I'd like to state for the record that on this 7th Day of May 2010

Mr. Tiny Tom Logan announced the death of DFI!

Love the new ROG stuff.

 

[Warzone]

Will you guys be doing a full blown review on this and comparing it to the formula?

It will be getting blown better than a 50year old bloke in a hotel room with an 18 year old estonian!

I think we will compair it yes matey, but its more about extra features than extra performance by the looks of things.

 

[pazman4]

ohh looks tasty , any ideas on release dates?

 

[Satans_Hell]

Hmmmm looks like a great board!

Will we be able to finally run SLI on an AMD chipset without cracked drivers though?

Sure looks that way fella, thats what the lucid should do.

What does Lucid Hydra have to do with PissX?

FYI, pissx is disabled by the nvidia drivers in the presence of a non-nvidia graphics card.

Lucid Hydra is a logic chip which splits processing at software level, ie DirectX or OpenGL, sending some objects to one card and some to the other to process them independently.

FWIW, that nvidia tech which I won't pronounce further is not going to work without hacked drivers.

It makes more sense what Satans_Hell said, sort of... cause it won't be SLI (hardware splitting).

Hey TTL just thought I'd show you people are using your article. No link back I can see. It's just they are claiming that THEY got the spy pics.

Nevermind I guess you guys didn't actually take the photos. Or did you?

 

[zak4994]

So the future of motherboards are black and clichéd I see?
