Nice find! Going to keep mine because I don't use the Sata II not to mention my mobo is working like a beauty!

[OC Maximus]

Same here

Yea hoping a bit mroe selection is to follow but these are like a month ahead of what I was reading, Biostar and MSI really jumped on this ....

[rickss69]

The Biostar TP67B+ is what I am using in the gamer Brian. ;)

[Witchdoctor]

was looking at it hard Rick,

Reading can't find if it has SLI support nothing on their site about??? just say xFire support,

it has to be 10 fold better than the Asus WS

would still like to get 2x 16 lanes though

[DrNip]

2x16 won't be standard edition or at least I don't believe it will.

[Witchdoctor]

The only two boards that had it before this shit blew up in Intels face was the UD7 and the WS Reolution, that was the primary reason I bough it, Chose it over the ud7 because of of the pcie spacing............

See what hits the streets but no matter what B3 boards this early is a good sign :thumbsup:

Withdoctor, correct me if I am wrong, but I thought it has been shown that until 30" screens, the x8 vs x16 lanes make little to no difference?? Especially once you add in latency with any of the pcie switches like the nf200. Am I off base here with the newer cards?

[rickss69]

Get the XE Biostar Brian...it does Crossfire and SLI with same layout as the B+.
(The one I would have bought if it had been available.)

[Witchdoctor]

I will take a gander .... thanks for the tip

Yea I agree at low res, but the plan is run at 5760x1080 with tri-montors & eye candy maxxed out, from what I have read especially at high clocks and pushing the PCIe lanes to 105 + it can be significant ...

And I might as well face it I am a frame rate junky '''''''''' :laughing:

just kinda looking for every enth of preformance for ultimant P67 gamer :thumbsup:

There ya go. x16 is a MUST for you at that res :laughing:

[DrNip]

I am sure 16x2 helps out in the benching area as well.

[Witchdoctor]

Hmmmm ....

Never really put that to the test Travis.

Have to read up a bit more ........ :thumbsup:
