Why P55A UD3 is better ?

I dont like SLI because i will go for ATI Card . but not gonna Cross fire too . so just tell me which one is better in every thing ? performance quality , gaming , working ?

The best now is the 1366/X58 with SLI, and after that it gets "fuzzy." I have both CF & SLI, the CF is a pain in comparison to the SLI {Performance + Stability}. ATI for years has had poor drivers; I use to be an ATI fan until I kept blowing transistors off the ATI cards. I wish I could follow my own advice.

The best Gaming MOBO is the EVGA and the GA MOBO's are okay - the low to mid range Gigabyte MOBO are built too cheap and are under powered. The only GA MOBO I like id the UD9 but it's very expensive.

I would suggest the ASUS P7P55D Crossfire or EVGA P55 SLI | 132-LF-E655-KR.

Comparison:
ASUS P6X58D-E {207}+ i7950 {299} = $506 // CF or SLI
GA-P55A-UD3P {145} i7-860 {280} = $425

Difference is $81 and there is ABSOLUTELY NO COMPARISON to the 1366. It's a no brainier.

The HD 5850 will not perform as good on the P55, but it still will perform very well. So there's complete clarity BOTH MOBO's {ASUS P7P55D & GA-P55A-UD3P} have their second PCIe slot running at x4 vs x8 or x16; x8 will not present itself as a problem by x4 will in high-end GPUs. Therefore, if you are certain that will be CF the HD 5850 then you might want to consider spending another $30 for the $180 ASUS P7P55D-E Pro.

Further, the least 'bottleneck' arrangement is the X58. ASUS P6X58D-E {207}+ i7930 {285} = $492 {difference ~$134}. I "get" $; shop bundles & rebates. I've seen this Ad and people say they're legitimate {I haven't purchased from them ?!} - http://www.microcenter.com/single_ [...] id=0331303

Let me ask my Question clearer . P55A is new Mobo & 5850 is new VGA card . is P55a That powerfull to handle 5850 & let him wrok GREAT ( 100 % ) ? or i will see PERFORMANCE HIT ?

in other words the ud3 wont have a performance hit on your 5850 at all, but just a thought, i was in the same situation that you are in, maybe you should go for a gtx 460 1gb and the asus p7p55 d e pro motherboard as the gtx 460 is cheaper than the 5850, with that money saved you can get the asus motherboard, the gtx 460 1gb performs slightly worse than the 5850 on its own but because of SLIs scaling two gtx 460s in SLI perform better or on par to two 5850s in crossfire, so if you go that route you will have a better upgrade path as you can add a second gtx 460 in the future

a 5850 is a very good graphics card and its actually overkill for your resolution, for your resolution just get a gtx 460 1gb, its even overkill for your resolution, a 5850 and a gtx 460 will play all new games at full graphics on your resolution, hell even an hd 5770 would

p55a ud3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product

U mean there will be a PERFORMANCE HIT ? becaus ei have OLD ga p31 DS3l which other people said 5850 will have 1-5 % performance hit , but P55A is so much higher than my GA P31 DS3L , how it can hit the performance of the 5850 .

OK thanks but what about my question ? please read it , Thanks a lot my friend .

it will not have a noticible real time difference, how manty people have gone for an i5 750 system and a 5850? hundreds, the difference is so tiny

oh please, look at what resolution he is playing at, im playing at 1080p with an i5 760, p55a ud4p motherboard and a gtx 460, a friend of mine has an i7 930 and a gigabyte ud3r and a gtx 460, maximum he gets 3 fps more than me, also if you have a 60 hz monitor you wont notice a difference past 60fps there is NOTHING wrong with the p55 chipset, i cant believe you are advising this user who obviously has a budget and is playing on a low resolution to go for an x58 build

look at his resolution, must i say that again??????

1680X1050??!! Is NOT that high of a resolution instead it is a Typical - you can read?

Get it your thick skull the $67 ~ -$18 difference is foolish - you can add?
GA-P55A-UD3P {145} i7-860 {280} = $425
ASUS P6X58D-E {207}+ i7930 {200} = $492 ; ASUS P6X58D-E {207}+ i7930 {200} = $407

You're filling this post with nonsense. I'm trying to prevent the OP from making a mistake, and preventing regret. In addition, everyday tasks will be improved, more expansion, and clearly a better choice. I present the hard facts and not the fiction.

The ASUS P6X58D-E {207}+ i7930 {200} = $407 is a no brainier!!!

he is not looking at the i7 860 hes looking at the i5 760, there would be no noticeable difference in gaming between the i5 760 and the i7 860, since he was looking at the p55a ud3 motherboard you would know THAT HE HAS A BUDGET, i5 760 + p55a ud3 = $330 hmmm i think theres a difference, $492 for an x58 motherboard and an i7 930 and $330 for an i5 760 and a p55a ud3, $162 to be exact, now thats quite a bit, my advice would be to get an asus p7p55D-e pro and an i5 760 and a gtx 460 1gb, then in the future he can get a second card

I dont wanna SLI , i think good single card is better . isnt single 5850 enough for MY REZ ? even i5 760 is great IMO . how will my stsem work with THAT REZ THAT iv got ? WIll i have problems , because i hardly can buy higher options . i just wanna know is it great UPGRADE for me or NOT ? be cause i am using E2160@ 1.8 MHZ that is realy low CPU & 9600 GT 1GB .

he considered it mid end, and i was just suggesting the gtx 460, as it is not far behind a 5850 on its own and 2xgtx 460s are on par or better than 2x 5850s, also going for the gtx 460 and the asus motherboard you have a nice upgrade path and yes a 5850 is actually overkill for your resolution, a gtx 460 is also lol even a 5770 is, gtx 460 vs 5850 http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/180?vs=164, i was in the same situation as you were in and i started posts etc on my other account and everybody said i should go for the gtx 460 with an SLI capable motherboard over just an hd 5850 with a normal cheap motherboard, also both a gtx 460 1gb and an hd 5850 will be able to play games at full graphics on your resolution so you wont see a difference also if you decide to get a new monitor someday you can get another gtx 460 so that is a nice upgrade

+1 on the Asus P7P55d e - Pro board esp if you want to CF or SLI, have a budget and don't need highest frame rates at the highest resolutions (which requires x56 board and $$$). It has the best features and longevity, performance vs. almost all other P55 boards. Don't get the Gigabyte P55 or the ASUS P7P55D or e model.

Look at the # and speed of Pcie slots and the dedicated onboard usb3 / Sata III 6gb chips that do not borrow from the pcie x16 lanes (so you can still run 8x8 with CF / SLI) if / when using USB3 and Sata III 6gb devices in the future. The Gigabyte P55 boards and non-Pro / Premium / Deluxe Asus P55 boards) borrow lanes from graphics card giving definite hit to performance.

The e- Pro can be found for $170 and New Egg had a $145 rebate deal last July.

I decided not to buy / enter the 1156 world, however, after thousands of hours of research, choosing to update my Socket 775 / p965 Asus PB5-Plus with a Vertex 2, more RAM(6gb Patriot Ext. Performance) and a Q8400CPU since I don't CF or SLI (or even really game - yet), and can always add a dedicated USB3 / Sata III card for $25 when devices are readily available / matured, except that you really need a pcie x4 slot to do USB3 and SATA III properly which my board does not have.... which would necessitate a board upgrade (probably to p67 at that point)

Back to regularly scheduled programing...

if you are going to crossfire or sli go for the asus p7p55d e pro just like i said, you said that you werent going to add a second graphics card so the p55a ud3 is perfectly ok, my other option for you was to go for the p7p55d e pro and get a gtx 460 instead of a 5850

does that borrowing of lanes hit the performance that high that for example 5850 will drop 20 % of its performance in games ? or i wont see that performance hit ? any way if that mobo that ur saying is not more expensive than P55A then i will go for it . after that please help me ( i am confused after u said that ) are u sure that P55A lend his lanes to ( the thing that u said ) ? but ASUS mobo doesnt ?

YES!!!

Just go to websites of Gigabyte and Asus and look it up or read reviews. I did the hard work for you.

Broken record.... wrong song.... won't read the lyrics

BTW ASUS P6X58D-E = $240.

Here is one link that addresses the issues. There are complete reviews that are more thorough.

first of all where does he live? if he doesnt have access to microcenter then he cant get an i7 930 for $199, then x58 is out of the equation
