Well, I think everyone's point is that you should have waited until that "someone who could've known something" posted in this thread.

It happens all the time. Usually people will mention it in a random thread, and not make a new topic or update an existing. Even the OP forgot about this thread...

That's because it's not a prototype, it's just a rebranded/tweaked 700series. Prototype boards are barebones at best.

I know this thread is a bit old, but did anyone else notice the 2008 copyright on the PCB? Does that mean RD890's been in the latter stages of development since '08?

And what is a 700 series board? Nvidias reference board that companies like Evga and XFX copy and produce.

Not to mention a fast google search even comes up "980a reference board"
