I'm geting a Sli motherboard this week and I wan't to know witch one would be the best one to get. Motherboard Sli 680i (A1) (T1) (TR) or the (Black Pearl) Witch one is better to you guys?
Alright well all those motherboards are "good" but there are better for less money.The motherboards you are looking at range from US$199 to $499 thats a lot of cash for a motherboard. So from the motherboards you pointed out I suspect you have a intel LGA775 socket cpu, and I already know you want dual pci x16 slots for you videocards. Here some sweet boards you should look into... ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI EVGA 122-CK-NF68-T1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard sells for $199 before rebate ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI The board on the top is by far the best board. The boards are arranged from best(top) to least best(bottom). Not the most expensive of these boards is US $208 thats only US $9 more than the cheapest board you have listed and it is more powerful(feature wise) than all of the boards you listed.
well no the board im going to go with is Sli Motherboard TR its only ($165) at zipzoomfly.com no sipping fees.
I've no idea what that is, but when you say 'only $165', that seems a lot considering the cost of the boards that are actually any good. Who makes it?
Exactly! Again look for about a $35 dollar difference you get these features... *Support for Core 2 Extreme / Core 2 Duo / Pentium EE / Pentium *2 x PCI Express x16 slot, support NVIDIA SLI technology, at full x16, x16 speed *6 internal SATA ports, and 2 eSATA ports for external harddrives *Dual GigabitPorts *ASUS WiFi-AP Solo: 54 Mbps IEEE 802.11g and backwards compatible with 11 Mbps IEEE 802.11b What is the Asus WiFi-AP Solo?... *The 3, yes THREE, PCI-E x16 slots will support 2 GPU cards at x16 and a physics card *DTS Connect feature which converts your stereo or multi-channel audio into a DTS audio signal and sends it out to any DTS enabled system *Up to 8 Channel audio through the included riser card that takes the audio streams off the motherboard for cleaner audio. *nVidia FirstPacket technology, which essentially lets you tell your PC that you want lets says your internet gaming traffic to have a higher priority on your network then BitTorrent/P2P traffic, etc. How do the other boards stack up to this?
I didn't know nvidia were doing the three-card physics rendering system... You could always have a PCI express 16x RAID card! lol
Twas, news to me to. I thought only ATI was doing the tri-x16 slot thing on motherboards but I am wroing I guess.
