DFI RD600 - Official Web Page Up!

The manual is available online to read through.

I think its pretty much confirmed: x8/x8 Bandwidth for the Crossfire setups :/
Physics will run on x4 lanes.
 
Best C2D Intel Overclocking motherboard available ?
Async Memory overclocking ?
Crossfire with Xpress Route and Physics availability ?
 
Hmmmm..........

I'm having a serious heart to heart with myself over this board now..... it doesn't offer my current setup anything that a 'normal' 975x based board would give me.

Im tempted to just either get an Infinity 975x or go down the 680i route and swap out the Video cards.....

:confused: Seriously don't know what to do with my setup now :(

I was under the impression the 8800 needs x16 bandwidth? So I'd assume the R600 is the same, so what happens with only 8x+8x slots in xfire? Does the bridge make up the rest or what?

For me personally, I rely on software crossfire i.e all transfers through the PCI-Ex bus rather than an internal bridge (1950 Pro's) or the dongle.

I think with ATI opening up the latest driver to enable software crossfire for pretty much any card apart from the X1950Pro, I think its a bit of a silly move to only have 8x\8x bandwidth on the PCI-Ex bus.

Although R600 will be using Crossfire2/Internal Bridge connectors, and thus the 8x\8x config won't matter, I think ATI have left those using software crossfire high and dry on the intel platform :/

Why they did this when 16x\16x is available on the AM2 platform, I have no idea.....

So in reality, I think its time I jumped ship and went with Nvidia for motherboard/video :/
