Hi guys I'm trying to choose between the XFX 790i Ultra or the ASUS Striker II 790i Motherboard. They're seem practically the same, but the Asus is more expensive. Anyone know why? Right know I'd chose the XFX, it looks prettier
So the ASUS board is simply better. Thanks.
You should hit up the Asus forums and read about the Stirker II. The board has alot of issues and Asus support is pretty much lacking. The quality from Asus has been sliding. I recently got the XFX 790i Ultra and have no issues.
Striker II Extreme, Striker II Formula is 780i not 790i.
Asus Intel boards tend to be very solid. However, their nvidia boards are usually the ones causing headaches, maybe because they always use their own design.
My Striker II Extreme is due to arrive tomorrow. Despite reminding myself to check the Asus forums repeatedly, I still neglected to to do so before ordering.
The only thing, looking there now, that truly gives me pause is the SLi issue some are reporting. Some are reporting that with SLi enabled, they can't even watch a video file without the system freezing. They seem already convinced it's a BIOS issue. Yet, from here, I'm suspecting that Vista and drivers are also a factor. There's not always a lot of detail in the posts.
At least, I hope it's a Vista-only issue since I intend to continue using XP Pro x64 until all the issues are sorted out
