NVIDIA nForce 590/680i For Conroe, Where Are They? HERE!

Finally Guys!!! I got some information from the nVidia Site regarding nForce 500 chipsets

NVIDIA is really excited about the introduction of Intel Core 2 Duo into the marketplace, and we have a whole top-to-bottom family of products from the NVIDIA nForce4 and NVIDIA nForce 500 families, including the industry's only true dual x16 PCIe solution, as well as support for NVIDIA QuadSLI.

Currently, the first product shipping with support for Intel Core 2 Duo will be the ASUS P5N32-SLI SE motherboard. This motherboard is based on the award-winning NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16 MCP and should be available around 7/27.

Several additional motherboard models will be announced by NVIDIA shortly. There are an assortment of NVIDIA nForce 500-based motherboards coming soon. They include:

An ECS 570 SLI motherboard that will have a retail price of only $90 USD!

An ASUS 570 SLI motherboard that will have a retail price of only $110 USD.

A DFI nForce 590 SLI motherboard. I don't know their retail price yet.

An ASUS 590 SLI motherboard. Retail price will be under $200 USD with availability around 8/1.
A list of Intel processors that are fully supported by NVIDIA can be found here. Please check back for further information.

--------------------------------------

I just hope the ASUS 590 releases August 1 to see my conroe working

Your are welcome

I needed to know what was going on with nForce 500 series for Intel thats why I did a little research

Where the hell did you see that?

Hmm I started with NVIDIA since they release good videocards and not too expensive. ATI thinks people can pay hundreds of dollars in just videocards.
Also I like more SLI than CrossFire.

lol i just realized it comes WITH an X6800

okay thats great, but like the GIgabyte board dq6 will it support quad-core. I'm looking for 2pci-e 16x slots and quad-core compatible.

Guys, u should seriously consider waiting a few days for the nForce 590 chipset mobos to be released. Asus and DFI are rumored to release them August 1st. Here's Anandtech's review on 590: here u go You don't have to restart windows to change BIOS! Performance wise it's very close, pretty much identical to intel's 975X, but has way better features IMO. I'm definitely waiting!

The nForce 590 will kill the 975 rev 304. SLI at 16x each port. wow what else you want?

What does the 590 chipset get you?

How does it compare to the chipset ATI is coming out with (SD600)?

I might be leaning towards nVidia now, since I don't know what to expect
from ATI in the future.

The Asus PN32-SLI SE is not a Nforce 500 motherboard but is the Nforce 4 motherboard modified to support conroe.

Asus has not announced what the 500 chipset motherboards will be called yet. I don't expect you will see them for another month though since availability usually is a month after they make their announcement on their website.

I'm waiting on the Asus 590 board because the 590 is suppose to have all the bell and whistles and is suppose to support quad-sli if I decide to upgrade to it.

can someone answer my question?

Ya I would recommend getting memory with good timing, the one I'm looking at is Mushkin redline PC8000. Check it out here. As far as timings not meaning as much on intels, I don't see why good timings wouldn't benefit as much on them. You want to get memory with as tight of timings as you can find(especially tight timings at high clocks, like the Mushkin). You should read this article on how memory performs on Conroe too. It might clear things up a bit. Basically, since intel doesn't have an on-chip memory controller, AMD beats it as far as pure memory bandwidth. However, Intel still wins hands down in real world tests. Imagine how good intel could be if they had the on-chip controller too.

According to NVIDIA they will be here tomorrow maybe on tuesday they will be available for sale.

its also signifantly cheaper! 150 bucks for a feature rich motherboard with SLI works for me.

I didn't think i'd do SLI but i'm now thinking that since i plan to get windows vista it might be a good idea to have that option just in case.

Read on buddy, I already replied to his post, that they could even be here this coming week.

No, I'm not making a mistake, although I can see why you'd think that. I do know that nForce 4 sli has been out for a long time, and they are releasing a few new nForce 4 sli mobos as of late, actually on the 27th or something. However, I'm talking about nForce 590 sli, the real deal. Check this out:

With all the buzz surrounding the Intel Core 2 Duo, NVIDIA's Bryan Del Rizzo passed along the following information in regards to nForce4 and nForce 500 support.
We are really excited about the introduction of Intel Core 2 Duo into the marketplace, and we have a whole top-to-bottom family of products from the NVIDIA nForce4 and NVIDIA nForce 500 families, including the industry's only true dual x16 PCIe solution, as well as support for NVIDIA QuadSLI.

In addition, many system builders are using this motherboard for their first Intel Core 2 Duo systems. We will have a press release later this month outlining all of the global system builders for NVIDIA nForce products.

This is why I'm waiting

I just went to the NVIDIA site and ASUS site and there is nothing related to nForce 500 Series. I hope they upgrade their system soon or tell us something.

GOD what happened to me? I thought today was 1 !!! I need some sleep

Well tomorrow Ill check again. Thanks for tellin me what today was.

nforce 590 sli intel edition will not have linkboost at the beginning .
is it a question of software or harware?

I did just notice this on zipzoomfly today. The have a PN5Sli nforce 570 board now on their site but it is back ordered. They usually do this when the board is available for them to order. But I really want the 590 so their is hope they will be comming soon.

anything new?

Will the 590 be OC friendly in the range of say 1GHZ for the E6600, or is there some other alternative that is already out and working with the E6600?

Well, reference boards have been out for a while now, and there have been reviews on them, so some people could probably know whether they're likely to be OC friendly. So before biting someone's head off for asking a question, first you should deal with the problem that's making you crabby. It really wasn't a dumb question.

Actually, as of now, they can't OC as well as the 975X boards, but they're going to have improvements as time goes by. I think in general, the Core 2 processors are OC friendly themselves, so I'm pretty sure that any new board will allow it to be OCed pretty well. The E6300 can actually OC the best, almost as much as the X6800 can if u can believe that, close to 4Ghz. However, don't confuse this with being as fast as an X6800, because even tho they're both at the same core speed, the performance is much better on the X6800.
