QUOTE(Maniacguys @ Jan 17 2012, 04:24 PM) Both of it in the same price range, but which one is the better option?? I vote for Asus!! I don't plan to run multiple GC, so CF is not a concern for me.....   |

QUOTE(adbacc @ Jan 17 2012, 06:08 PM) Go for a full powered P8Z68-V instead. no point going for gen 3 if just because PCIE 3.0....since benchmark showed that there is no different between PCIE 2.0 and PCIE 3.0 in result P8Z68-V ~RM589 << Not sure if still available or replaced by all Gen3 already as not listed in pricelist P8Z68-V Gen3 RM689  (if TS going for ivy...then i dunno dy) |

QUOTE(adbacc @ Jan 17 2012, 06:12 PM) You need an Ivy Bridge Processor on that board to unlock the Gen3. That's why the first in my list is the original one, but it seems to be no longer listed in Viewnets pricelist im not saying about PCIE3.0 on Z68...im saying about X79...7970 was tested on both PCIE2.0 and 3.0 slot on X79 chipset...nothing differentAdded on January 17, 2012, 6:19 pmUse the Add to compare list and compare feature on Asus site. Mostly, LE isn't that good for dual Graphics card as the second slot uses 4x. Also, the power phase on LE is inferior to the non-LE = not so good for overclocking. LE no bluetooth If you are just planning light overclocking, you may find the LE sufficient.
