With Vishera being released,companies like Gigabyte and others are releasing new BIOSes.

Obviously,not the scummy company known as Asus:

If you check their website,they only list their "new" R2.0 motherboards as being compatible. Gigabyte have released updates for all their 970 and 990 series AM3+ motherboards it seems.

Now,it could be quite possible,that someone might release a hacked BIOS or you might be able to use an existing BD compatible BIOS,but this is a VERY poor show on the part of Asus.

Some of their motherboards are nice,but they are pulling a fast one here. Might be fine for some pre-build,but do they really think the DIY PC community is not going to notice?? Gigabyte has released BIOS updates for their earliest 970 AM3+ motherboards already.

Even the fact that you don't know for certain, whether you get a R1 or R2 motherboard means many of their 970 and 990 series motherboards are not recommendable at all.

Even then they seem to have a PD compatible BIOS for Crossfire V and tell people the Sabertooth 990FX is not compatible?? They are the same flipping chipset!

So,what I are they trying to achieve here??
