7950 on its way along with nforce 5 M2

[XD-3]

Hi All

I dont no if this is old news or not but here we go.

I was just reading on neowin about the new Asus AM2 socket mobo's which look rather nice and i came across this in the text.

" Nvidias Link Boost Technology will also make an appearance on the M2N32-SLI Deluxe, which ASUS's box art claims will automatically overclock the PCIe and MCP HyperTransport link by 25% when a GeForce 7900 or 7950 GPU is inserted into both PCIe x16 interfaces."

So they are releasing a 7950 card in time for these mobo's which are slated for release this month or starting anyways...

The info is on the neowin homepage

Ooohhh nForce5 .

That looks like a very nice board

Yeah was reading about this the other day, although i'm not convinced how much real world performance you will see out of it, that board looks a bit crammed doesn't it?

OCUK have nforce 5 AM2 boards for preorder IIRC, i'm not gonna get one yet though.

where I can't find them?

Arggh they've been removed, apparently will be back on in late may along with new am2 processors

That board does look rather sexy.

I wonder how much of an improvement the 7950 series would have over the current 7900 series. Probably just speedbumped to give extra performance? I wonder if nVidia will phase out the current 7900's when the 7950's come out, like what happened with the 7800 series.

i think you'll find (im 99% sure) that a 7950 is the quad sli version. the 7950GX2 available at the quite notorious competitor that sells the quad sli bundles. google it. 7950GX2 is the new improved version with, within reason power needs and uses a 7900 mobile chip(x2) with less power, its made of 2x7900m gpus with 500mhz core and 1200mhz mem

really like the look of the new asus mobo though asus really are getting good at giving us the best material on the boards these days that heatpipe setup looks the business...

Looks a great board, only complaint being the 4pin power connector in the middle of the baord above the PCIe connecter.

 

[Behemoth]

That looks well

Only 2 PCI though, could be a problem for some people.
