ATI Crossfire Xpress 3200 (RD580) Technology
 

Today we will be talking about ATI’s Crossfire Xpress 3200 (RD580) chipset. In the most basic terms, it’s a dual x16 solution – but it’s much more than RD480 with dual x16 PCIe. RD580 was designed from the ground up and promises to bring real performance benefits through the use of “true” dual x16 PCIe slots. ATI is also boasting superior overclockability, in terms of both headroom and tweakability. As of today, March 1, at 8am CST, you should be able to purchase motherboards using ATI’s new chipset. The first board partner to have product available will be ASUS with their A8R32-MVP Deluxe, to be followed by products from Sapphire, DFI, ABIT, and PCPartner in the weeks to come.
