kelticknight · Jan 6, 2007, 02:43 AM

what about the sapphire r580 xfire

Ketxxx · Jan 6, 2007, 02:48 AM

well, the last bunch of sapphire boards were complete crap, impressive on paper, but half of the bios options (or more) just didnt work. terrifyingly sapphire were copying the reference design to boot and still got it wrong.. and their support for the boards sucked hard. do some googling on the 580 xfire, try and find some user feedback, reviews rarely ever tell the nitty gritty and real-world story

kelticknight · Jan 6, 2007, 02:51 AM

put me at ease
did the A8R32-MVP Deluxe have simular issues to dfi cfx3200 or where they different
does it work out of box
is there anyhardware it didnt like

have used it and it works great and overclocks well.(amd 3500+ on asus a8n 2.45Ghz--on the Abit board i hit 2.8Ghz.....haven't heard of any compatibility issues with other components....not as many bios features as the DFI, but works better imo..

kelticknight · Jan 6, 2007, 02:57 AM

can get the A8R32-MVP for 125 euros
the xfire in 939 are hard to get

Ketxxx · Jan 6, 2007, 02:58 AM

from all i sifted thru, the board had no serious problems, worked as it should right out the box, didnt hear of any hardware it didnt like and it OCs great too.

kelticknight · Jan 6, 2007, 04:24 PM

if interested ,make a offer
otherwise will sell on e-bay

Ketxxx · Jan 6, 2007, 04:52 PM

125e for a a8r32mvp dlx is pretty good. cheapest i can find the board for in the uk is £100 still. its just a good board.

kelticknight · Jan 6, 2007, 04:59 PM

does it have issues with a x-fi sound card
want a link too it

Ketxxx · Jan 6, 2007, 05:42 PM

no mobo has issues with the x-fi. its the absolute polar opposite, the x-fi has issues with systems, period. the x-fi is a badly designed POS. there are many not only viable, but cheaper and better feature packed alternatives to thee x-fi that offer equally good performance.

kelticknight · Jan 6, 2007, 05:48 PM

only reason i ask is im getting on monday in post a new x-fi fatal1y xtreme gamer pro card without the front panel[waste] to replace my audigy4
just wondered if you know or is there drivers i need to install first to make it work in xfire setup

Ketxxx · Jan 6, 2007, 05:52 PM

nothing special to do. but in all honesty id avoid the x-fi completely, theres been some damn good threads on tpu showing superior and cheaper alternative products to creative.

kelticknight · Jan 6, 2007, 05:58 PM

would ,only paid and being delivered on monday
if dont work,will return it and cry

maybe i burn it with the dfi mobo

kelticknight · Jan 6, 2007, 06:00 PM

any way
its my birthday night to celbrate me getting to be a older man

will check out more on it tomorrow with hangover
