The main difference between 680i SLI and 780i SLI:
1. support PCIe Gen2
2. 3 x PCIe x16
3. support 3-way SLI
Because the 780i SLI is using the 680i SLI's south bridge and north bridge plus a BR04 chip, so there is no huge difference between 680i SLI, even the hottest topic: 3-way SLI is only an driver upgrade, doesn't need any architecture changes.(NV later will release a 3-way SLI driver for 680i SLI.)

Theyre pretty dissapointing scores, although totally expected, everytime they add more bling they slow things down.
That looks pretty backwards compared to the P35 in all but memory bandwidth. Good choice of boards in the test mix though.
So, let me get this right; Nvidia is saying you get 1:1.68:2.6 scaling going from 1:2:3 GPUs?
So it all comes down to just having a new product name to help the marketing..

Frankly thats just dissapointing !

my personal conclusion when i see that review is as follows, simple and short: P35 ftw....

Anyone know if it will come in a DDR3 flavor also? This is looking a little on the disappointing side, almost makes a guy want to sit it out and wait for SkullTrail.
Why do you always have to bring two sockets into everything?Because a one socket system is only 1/2 a system..
You got two balls don't you?
I rest my case!

So I should be satisfied with my two 680is?
As I like to use SLI it seems I should be.

is there any even any good reason for the 680i guys to upgrade...seem's like there isn't
No, I think he had a date tonight...
He and his EK Supreme are out for a night on the town!
Time for the double dashes of death again.
A refresh rsther than brand new release. Darkatom do you have pics of your setup? I have a similar radiator on top thing g]on [one of my rigs

System:Bunch of crappy overclocked PC's that cost an arm and a leg
I'd bet theres alot more to this board, then just a few minor upgrades.
the stock Nvidia 680i has went through so many revisions its just a pain in the ass to figure out which ones the best now.
these will be everything they learned from the evolution of the 680i, so you will get much better Quad Core overclocking from these I bet.
also, with the ridiculous abilities of ram overclocking on the 680i, overclocking with a good 780i from a company like Asus or DFI, that doesnt just use the stock Nvidia reference board, but improves on it, and makes it their own, should make it even more fun to use.
SLI + better Quad Core overclocking + Ridiculous ram overclocking ability + Updated Featrures = Should Be one hell of a fun board, by the time it shows up here at XS, in the hands of Overclockers... not just reviews.

Hopefully there will be sufficient work to integrate DDR3 that they completely redesign the chipset for 790i.

Nothing anymore
Thank you for the positive read. Not sure why everyone is so negative about this mobo but I personally think it's going to be a fun one too!

ehhh, I'm skeptical with this board, given NVIDIA's failure with 680i (yes I deem it a failure)
"To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we have. Cherish it for what it truly is."
Not saying it won't be fun, but being one of many that has had to RMA 3+ times.............I think we have some right to be skeptical, especially the few that are honest about the board dying due to faulty hardware.

Shall we take a count of how many D9's were killed by 680i?

to remind you guys..coz the lack of the special 3 way bridge and the PCIe Gen2 graphic cards and drivers, the PCIe Gen2 3-way SLI trick remain untested.
