This convinced me to grab two 4830's over a single 4870 :toast:

yeah, i also read it, imo its the perfect combo for the bang for the buck AND u can also presume that u have 2 videocards

I'm looking at these ASUS 4830's.

i believe it will be x16 and x4. So it'll be kinda crippled. Id get a P45 board and run em x8 and x8.

P35 is 16x+electrical 4x. Get a P45 or X38.
also P35 is PCIE 1.0 so its not worth it at all

the p35 only 16x and 4x with 1.1 pci-e version so my advice forget it or go for p45 cuz it is
8x and 8x with 2.0 pci-e version

this made me lol

Seriously though, I just got my hands on two of these. Gonna try getting them working tonight.

Yup. This yet again confirms the awesome power of the 4830's in CF. They overclock up to a 4850 and yield better than a single 4870. It's too bad they start to fall off at higher resolutions and AA/AF.
