Your wrong in telling me that I am wrong. There's no other way to put it really, everything else you have done is copy and paste a chart of Gen3 motherboards and some information from there description.

You're either a child or not intelligent enough to put an argument together, I'm not going to waste my time on this :rolleyes:
 
Don't then, I don't need to argue with you, when I know I am correct.

I believe you are the one that started this whole conversation, by trying to correct a factual statement.

Yes, the Extreme4 has 3 PCI-E slots, but one must run at x4 and hence making 3-way SLI/Crossfire unacceptable.

The Asrock Z68 Extreme7 Gen3 can run 3-way SLI/Crossfire at x16/x8/x8 and have a spare x4 slot. The MSI Z68A-GD80-G3 cannot

No. I knew before you even joined this forum that the Extreme4 has got 3 PCI-E slots. However, did you not notice the x16 bit in there? With any other card, which is what you need for SLI/Crossfire, the PCI-E 2.0 slot must run at x4.

And @Hamster, this is when I said

With only two PCI-E x16 slots?

And Davefran tried to correct me in saying that it has 3. But because he has minimal knowledge, he did not realise that in an SLI/Crossfire set-up, the 3rd slot must run at x4.

I'm genuinely confused!! Are you talking about the Extreme4 Gen3 or the Extreme7? Davefran was quoting specs of the Extreme7 but you seem to be referring to the Extreme4Gen3.

asrock said on facebook end of Aug to my question, when Will it be on sale in the UK. But hope it's sooner.

Hopefully it will be sooner than that. It's already available at a couple of places in Australia and elsewhere in Europe. Cheapest I've seen it is $319AUD which is around £200. I'm guessing it will be a bit more than that over here but I'm sure OCUK will sort us out with a decent pre-order price ;)

I've been on these forums since before you were born, don't be fooled by the new account date. Of course I noticed the x16 bit and the fact YOU said it only has 2, When it has 3 *looks in case* yes they're still there. I never mentioned anything about the speed they run at.

Your first post comparing the Extreme 7 gen 3 to the Msi GD80

Z68 Extreme7 Gen3
1 x PCIe 3.0 x16, 4 x PCIe 2.0 x16 and 1 x PCIe 2.0 x1

MSI Z68A-GD80-G3 Intel Z68
3x PCIe x16 Slot (2x Gen3.0, 1x Gen2.0) and 2x PCIe x1 Slots

Z68 Extreme4 Gen3
3x PCIe x16 Slot (2x Gen3.0, 1x Gen2.0) and 2x PCIe x1 Slots

NOW can you see which two board are most similar ?
 
Is anyone else waiting for "my dad's bigger than your dad"? ;):D

Nathan - Any more info on when the pre-order will open up ?
