This information is RIGHT, i have the same info directly from nVidia. YES nF680i never will support Yorkfields, only Wolfdale! This is final information, stop speculation about Yorkfields on nF680i! This chipset never support it ...
You will need nF780i SLI! Damn Intel for :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing politics ... but Intel is in IT industry GOD Almighty ...
yeah i got the confirmation via email too about 680i :(Quote:

:mad: i like my Striker so much ... i dont want new stupid nF680i SLI+PCIe 2.0 (nF780i SLI) mobo. It is the same northbridge and here is a way how to support Yorkfields ... i know it, but here is stupid politics of Intel ...
For sale -- slightly used, Asus Striker Extreme ... :)
Yeah, for sure ...Quote:

Nice to sell new chipset, when an awaiting cpu arrives... Nvidia has nothing to win supporting already sold chipset...Quote:
Strange part is that the 780i is in fact a 680i with an added additional PCIe 2.0 bridge chipset.
why do you think he's joking?Quote:

I own an SE here, and even though would have liked the QX9650 to have worked I don't see what the fuss is about. The board came out over a year ago before 45nm chips were even out, not to mention the quad core versions of them. It can run all of the 45nm dual cores out there it looks like just not the quads. Ok, well you can still use the 65nm quad core on it for the exact same rated speed and at 1333fsb.
I think nvidia did a decent job actually on the chipset/system no worse than any other company trying to support something that was only in pre-engineering samples, if that, at the time of inception. What you were looking for a board that you would never need to change? Good luck with that. ;)
When is the evga 780i out for purchase??? Doesn't its have the almost exact same layout as the 680i?? could i still use all my ek nb sb and mofset blocks?? i HOPE so... and is it confirmed the 780i will support all the new 45nm cpu's yorkfield and wolfdale?
And you think they would have say:Quote:

So again:
"780i is in fact a 680i with an added additional PCIe 2.0 bridge chipset."
if 780i support penryns, why can't the 780i without the additional PCIe 2.0 bridge chipset. (aka the 680i) ?
:shrug:
it's a revised chipset nemrod
cause NV is gready. :ROTF:
why support an old chipset when you can sell a newone, imho intel has nothing todo with it. The one and only to blame is NV.
nVidia is as usual full of it. Considering Yorkfield works on 945 chipsets and SiS and maybe even ATI chipsets. Just consider how long back this "conspiracy" should have been running.
nVidia messed up as usual with their craptastic chipsets. They should stick to GPUs that they actually know how to make.
if nvidia actually cared about its customers, it would sell intel an sli license, instead of forcing people who already bought two of their video cards through the pain of having to rma 10 motherboards to find a working one... i know i for one, along with probably at least a considerable amount of people, would buy an sli system, if we were allowed to use an intel chipset. gpus are more expensive than chipsets, so if nvidia just stopped being greedy bastards, they would probably make even more money this way... and besides, for whatever reason, some massochists would still buy their chipsets...Quote:

Intel could cut nvidias head right off if they decide to go after the gpu market.

will the new chips work on the 975x chipset? Ihave a dfi sitting around that I might put back together.
this has nothing to do with intel,its nvidia making us buy new boards,intel could care less if it works on 680i.
put your selves in nvidia situation...lets see how will we sell the new chipsets if the 680i is a solid chipset?
brilliant...dont support the new chips with a bios update and force them to buy new chipsets haha brilliant
thats what i think as well.. if nvidia can make yorky work on 780, then they could make it run on 680. if they did that though, it would only be helping out intel to sell more chips, and nvidia would waste resources without seeing a profit.Quote:

i guess though, thinking about it, nvidia is probably milking its gpu performance leadership for all it can, and i'm sure its board partners enjoy selling mobos to the likes of dell, alienware, vodoo, and the rest. unfortunately, most who buy systems with the 680i chipset will never oc their cpu, much less a quad core, so its perfectly fine for stock... still nvidia, respect us as a customer base, sell intel a freaking license...Quote:
