| Quote: | | Dubbed Immensity, this concept X58 mainboard has plenty of room for an ultra-speedy Core i7 processor, but what makes this one unique is the built-in GPU. Nah, it's not some lame-o integrated chip that chokes up when playing back 480p versions of last night's Glee -- it's a full-fledged ATI Radeon HD 5770 |
Anyone got a spare arm to afford this? lol 5570+intel+asus+lucid = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I hope amd pushes out a board like this.

You mean you hope ASUS, MSI or one of the motherboard manufacturers push out a board like that with an AMD socket 
But yeah, it's pretty sick. 5770 is like a 4870/4890 with DX11 support, damn fine card. Supposedly, Lucid has also made some huge improvements with their latest driver, so I'm eagerly awaiting benchmarks of this thing

Grab that board and a stand-alone 5770 for stupendous gaming. Pure-scaling Crossfire thanks to the Hydra, kick-ass i7, and a pair of 5770s? Definitely my cup of tea!

Yeah, like several of us have been saying, ATI isn't much behind NVIDIA anymore with its driver. I personally still think CCC lacks a few options, especially on the HTPC front, but performance wise they're fantastic.
Differs a bit per game obviously, Crysis doesn't scale that well, and in DX11 games you obviously don't hit that mark either since they all only use DX11 to show off tessellation at the moment. Funnily enough, 2x5870's actually beat the 5970 in a lot of occassions now, as they should be doing (5970 has lower clocks). That's how much they've fixed the scaling 
Hydra isn't there to compete with SLI or Crossfire though to be honest, but the X-mode is what's interesting, and it has already been proven that it works with the right cards (4850 + 9800GTX is as fast as performance from each added up). If they've made that work for (almost) all combinations, then my next motherboard will definitely have a Hydra chip :>

Ya this is why I don't buy their overpriced crap anymore. They used to be top notch back in the 939 days but since then they've grown horribly hit or miss. Took me 3 RMA's to get a good board once. Gigabyte's never failed me. |

Every brand has that 
You have bad experiences with ASUS, I have that with Gigabyte, others will have it with MSI, and so on. Most important thing for me nowadays is customer support. XFX Europe as an example is terrible, while XFX US is pretty good (I actually got one of my 9800GTX's exchanged via a request through XFX US  ).
I'm quite curious about the upcoming budget Hydra boards from MSI, those should trigger a massive benchmarking spree as well.

if you hanged out on hardware/overclockign sites you would find its well known that asus and msi are prone to failures while gigabate have a fairly good reputation for building strong boards.
asus also had one of the worst RMA services known to man which they recently overhauled to try and shake off the reputation they had for taking 3-6+ months to sort out RMA's.

This, the amount of dead boards I see for asus on overclock.net is astounding, I rarely see any for gigabyte. Msi sometimes. |
