Review: 2 x Gainward PowerPack! Ultra/3500PCX Golden Sample in ASUS A8N32 Deluxe Motherboard

November 25th 2005 | Hardware

If you want top motherboard packed with loads of features that will be great for overclocking and will accommodate any two cards from Nvidia in SLI, Asus A8N32 Deluxe is the right way to go. It will be 80 to 100 percent more expensive than old Nforce 4 SLi motherboards. If you have Nforce 4 SLI motherboard doesn’t bother about new Nforce 4 SLI X16 chipset as you wont gain some significant scores but if you want to go for top SLI platform this might be the right way to go.

With two [Gainward] cards you will defeat even the fastest 7800 GTX with 512 of memory. We did a little calculation and learned that two Gainward cards will cost you 2x€444 for the cards and 200 for the A8N32 deluxe motherboard together 1088. GTX 512 times two gets you to €1300 for the cards plus €200 for the motherboard, all together to €1500 or Dollars depends where you are. So you might save some € 400 if you get this one and its available now.
