  • The same chipset drivers (680i SLI Drivers) for both.
  • 100% solid capacitors in the Plus vs. only partial solid capacitors in the non-Plus.
  • NB is C55 for the Plus and C55XE for the non-Plus. They are functionally identical. There is no official statement about the difference between them.

In the US market, the Plus is cheaper and comes with all solid capacitors, then why not buy the Plus?
Yea, I am aiming for the Plus, seeing that it's $199 at the 'egg vs. $269.
