ASRock M3A790GXH AM3 Motherboard Pictured

how can semprons and athlons 64 work with ddr3.

thats imposible unless they hacked the 790gx to have a built in memory controller

 

[ShadowFold]

AM3 CPU's have DDR3 controllers in them

I'm going to play my cards right by waiting for ASUS, Biostar, or MSI to roll in some mobos. Those brands have to clock AM3 CPUs WAAAY better than ASRock.

when in the mother fucker of hell AMD stated that there are going to be AM3 semprons and athlons SIXTY FOUR

this could mean two things. 1 - there ARE GOING TO BE am3 semprons and athlon 64 (somehow they resurrected the 64)

2 - Asrock type wrong

i dont know if you didnt notice is trying to get in into the high end (good p45, 780a sli, a damn good 780g board)

[cdawall]

Yes. For God sake YES!

 

[LittleLizard]

Yes. For God sake YES!

you want 3 way xfire ?

go and buy dfi 790fx

 

[ShadowFold]

790GX only does 8/8 2.0 crossfire.

790GX only does 8/8 2.0 crossfire.

So what its equiv to a full 16 1.0 slot...

you want trifire get a 4850x2 and a 4850 or 4830 and there is your trifire right there, I am tempted to do this, I really don't care what anyone says on it, it's very tempting. even if there are performance blows.

790FX

790FX

Useless, unless lanbox is modded which isn't happening.

 

[eidairaman1]

well your sol then.

 

[kysg]

well your sol then.

I wouldn't call it sol thats what the x2's are for. or just regular crossfire.

besides unless you plan on engineering a matx board that has pcie slots at full 16x2.0 then really...

The performance doesn't blow -- it's just very driver-limited, from what I've seen (all depends on the game).
