Hi guys,
I have recently bought a FX8350 and now all I need is a motherboard to go along with it. I've come down to 2 motherboards and that is
GA-970A-UD3 ($150NZD)
GA-990FXA-UD3 ($230NZD)
http://www.gigabyte.co.nz/products/comparison/list.aspx?ck=2&pids=4397,4417
and i'll be running a single HD7850 along with it. Now the question is that since 990fxa provide 200MHz more Hypertransport, is it worth spending that $70 more and getting a 990FXA motherboard.
and what are the performance gains from that additional hypertransport?
Need advice,
Thanks~
