Gigabyte GA-MA790-DQ6 (AMD RD790) mainboard

Asus and Gigabyte first with RD790

Some time late September

According to a story on Digitimes, Asus and Gigabyte are just about ready to start shipping RD790 boards and both companies are more or less just waiting for the go-ahead from AMD.

Both companies have DVT samples ready and have already shipped several boards to their respective customers for evalutation.

Volume production should kick in over the next couple of weeks and if all goes well, there should be plenty boards ready in time for the launch for once.

Initial boards will feature the SB600 southbridge, but come November this should be replaced by the SB700. RD790 boards are expected to retail in excess of US$100.

Isto, ou esta melhor dizendo, vai ser compativel com os actuais CPU´s AM2?
Ou só dá para os AM2+?

Edit: Esqueçam , dei-me ao trabalho de ler o artigo e já vi que sim.
Move on.

quad crossfire só com gráficas single slot, uma caixa/board só suporta 7 slots de expanção e quad HD2900 teria 8 slots!

Com HD2900 só dá "tri-fire" e não é nesta board, por não ter espaço.

É tudo marketing, qual o interesse de quad-crossfire de HD 2600 XT, por exemplo? Só se for para ligar 8 monitores na mesma maquina:002: Para isso mais vale uma nvidia quadro NVS que suporta 4 monitores por placa.

Bem visto. Nem me tinha lembrado que uma board ATX só leva até 7 slots... Silly me ;)

Duvido seriamente que esta board da gigabyte toda artilhada venha a custar só 100 €, isso deve ser as mais "rascas", da mesma forma que boards da Intel com o mesmo chipset P35 variam de 120 a 300 € :004:
 
WCG Australia – GIGABYTE AMD RD790 demo

Just last weekend we had the chance to attend WCG Australia 2007 (that is the World Cyber Games, baby!) and as one of the title sponsors of the Australian leg of the event, GIGABYTE were showing off a live demo of their forthcoming MA790-DQ6 motherboard matched up with the new AMD Athlon 6400+ and two Radeon HD 2900 XT 512MB graphics cards in Crossfire mode.

Nathan, our man on the scene in Sydney, reported that the system was putting out over 12,000 points in 3DMark06 and we would assume that is at stock clocked settings. AMD will launch their AMD RD790 chipset, which includes support for their upcoming range of Phenom processors along with PCI Express 2.0 support, when the processors are ready and that date is still not really confirmed at this stage.

GIGABYTE's particular board pictured below supports a grand total of four PEG slots running at x16 each which supports rumors that AMD shouldn’t be too far away from releasing Quad Crossfire to the world before the end of the year.

With AMD set to release their range of quad-core processors to the world before much longer, we might find see the struggling chip company make up some ground or so that is the picture that is being painted.
