This DirectX 10 game still looks great and although it becomes somewhat CPU limited with the higher end solutions, it still proves a good test with the last generation of games many people still play today.
Funky colour scheme…. looks very similar to the ‘army’ MSI boards ive noticed in the last few months.
I really like the new bios systems. my bud bought a sandybridge board and they are leaps ahead of the older bios systems. This is a nice option for AMD lovers, but I wonder what percentage of sales these boards really get on the market against Sandybridge
Good boards, but the new cpus are the main thing im waiting on. id say SLI and CFx are small markets. a new range of CPUs might make AMD competitive again. If they can match the 2600k they are onto a winner, but its a tall order.
A lot of detail in this. I really do rate the X6 processors. I thought they would be pretty poor and my friend bought the 1090T and I wouldnt even know it wasn’t an intel chip. I suppose benchmarks highlight it more, but for gaming? I doubt anyone would know if someone changed their system without them looking.
Im excited to see the new CPU’s. Its a nice start, but its pretty uninspiring, apart from SLI support. and most people who want SLI will already have intel chipsets.
I bet this took some behind the scenes negotiations. Nvidia allowing AMD to use SLI.
Good move however and nice new range of boards. Will be looking forward to the new range of processors.
AMD have such a tough job really. Intel are dominating the CPU market. I do agree, the 1100T and 1090T are great products. for gaming they are perfect.
Asus make great boards, this is one of them. Sorry but im waiting for the new cpus before I even contemplate a new board. The current phenom X4 and X6 range doesnt appeal to me. im not a power user, but I dont see any reason yet to move to intel.
Finally a modern board that can do X16 sli, Intel can stick their thousand different socket types where they belong
