DX9 Gaming Performance
You can almost see what the BIOS tweakers were thinking when they were writing the 9NDA3+ BIOS. Across the board, the Epox performs at or near the top in all the most recent DX9 games. The lone exception here is Final Fantasy XI where performance was average among nForce3 Ultra boards.

I think you should change the title a little bit... kinda misleading to say "Epox 9NDA3+: New Choice for Socket 939" You should write Epox 9NDA3+: A New Choice for Socket 939. I find it to be a little misleading... just my input!Shermie

Tell me about it. I really don't want an MSI board but its basically the only option right now. DFI and Abit need to get their arse in gear quick. Mmmm, socket 939 LanParty board.....that would be my future board right there.Zebo - Monday, October 25, 2004 - link
#2, AGPMany people sunk $400-$600 in new AGP cards and want to use them. Many cards arnt PCIe. Basically NF4 probably won't support the graphics standard 98% of people have.
Wes, Where are the real enthusiast boards? Ya know ASUS/ABIT/DFI :( Hard to believe MSI has the best NF3 board still.

nF4 is PCIe only not AGP. nF3 and nF4 are virtually identical other than AGP vs. PCIe.FearoftheNight - Monday, October 25, 2004 - link
Why not straight to nf4?????Budman - Monday, October 25, 2004 - link
page 3 ... this a DFI or Epox board??The basic layout of the DFI is generally excellent, with some standout elements and a few glaring layout faults.
