ASUS P7P55D Deluxe

sieht ja schon sehr nett aus! nur glaube ich kaum, daß die topmodelle der p55-boards viel günstiger als manche x58-boards werden. btw: wie sieht´s jetzt eigentlich mit sli aus, gibt´s da schon verläßliche infos? bei geizhals waren ja schon mehrere boards gelistet, die alle über sli-support verfügen sollen.

und das ist das eigenartige, manche p55-boards sollen sehr wohl triple sli beherrschen, alle anderen nur sli per 8x/8x (ebenso wie crossfire).
da bin ich auf die finalen, offiziellen specs und preise schon gespannt, mittlerweile wurden ja die meisten boards auf geizhals wieder entfernt.

Drei echte PCI-E x16 Slots bekommst du höchstens mit zwei NF200 Chips hin und trotzdem bist du bei der Bandbreite zwischen CPU und Grafikkarten auf einmal PCI-E x16 limitiert.

Review (Asus P7P55D Deluxe) @ bit-tech.net

Zitat

At the time of writing we believe the Asus P7P55D Deluxe to retail for around £165. While we appreciate the prices of P55 will be respectively higher than P45 at launch, we feel the Deluxe does not do enough to warrant the cost considering what the competition offers.

That's not to say it's bad in any way - in fact, it works excellently: it's stable, and probably the best overclocker we've yet used that provides a consistent and stable 200MHz base-clock. It has tonnes of extras to warrant the Deluxe badge, but it's stuck between the more desirable, yet costly Maximus III Formula (we've used this at a recent event), and budget boards that generally do the same job (we've had a £110 Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4M at 200MHz base-clock as well).

Asus has innovated all these extra Turbo-this and Hybrid-that, some of which are genuine features we could see ourselves using because they actually do make life easier, yet it can't even get its SATA performance sorted properly. That said, it's stable, the layout is great and the design is very appealing, but for all its merits the £35 cheaper MSI P55 GD65 trades blows in all the tests and keeps up nicely. The MSI may not have hit a 200MHz base clock that will be important for Core i5 750 users limited to a 20x multiplier, but it still keeps up nonetheless.
