    all nvidia has to do is take the damn money from intel and let us use SLi on intel chipsets!!!!!!!!!!!

    I can see this happening with Intel being big boss here, but I would also like to see the anti-trust lawsuit that's going to arise from this. NV has been slaughtering Intel's chipset business all of last year with the King of GPU with G80 forcing highend PCs to be G80s + 680i, practically whipping out Intel's chipset business in high-end OEM and SI SKU. If this is really true, then this is the biggest backhand b**ch slap Intel laid down.

    SLI, CF, whatever, majority of the people won't buy into it. They buy in SLI and CF chipset for "future" upgrades, but honestly, I don't see too many people buying a 2nd card to complete their multi-GPU.

    ATI and AMD have joined up, Intel is beating AMD and nVidia is crushing ATI. i dont know why they just dont join up and create a larger force to compete with.

    my thoughts are they dont want to share the profits of the Geforces 8 and the penryns~

    Nvidia:

    if(chipset != "Nvidia")
    print "Fark Off!";
    BSOD();

    Intel:

    if(chipset == "Nvidia")
    print "Fark Off";
    BSOD();

    Not much differences between the companies after all

    The question is who need who more. I'm going to say Nvidia needs retail Yorkfield to work on their boards, more than Intel needs SLI on the X#8 chipset.

    Asus answer:

    you can boot the system up
    you can overclock
    but you won't be impressed

    interesting

    are there any class actions against nvidia? it seems like everyone complains about how horrid their chipsets are.


    also, how hard is it to hack nvidia's drivers?

    cant we all just get along! =D

    bad news i guess, i loved the nvidia chipsets up until the 680i board i had, terrible. i skipped on 5 series, nforce 4 was the last decent chipsets. I still have a socket A, asus Nf2 that is still chugging along with a mild oc since 2003. Sucker wont die, so much dust in the case, chip idles at 55c lol..still goin

    funny thing about 750i, in this months pc gamer(crysis) ibuypower has a 3 page spread with rigs, all of them have 750i boards, and states in the add, fully supports upcoming penryn. badddd

    but Wolfdales will work on 680i and 780i? or does it mean 45 nm in general?
    Notice any grammar or spelling mistakes? Feel free to correct me! Thanks

    HAHAHAHAHAHA

    F**K YOU NvIDIA.

    SERVES YOU RIGHT YOU MANIPULATIVE MONOPOLIZING C**K SUCKING LITTLE...

    this just made me smile.

    it also makes me happy that I didn't shell out for an nForce board.
    and also makes HP seems smarter.

    I don't have a problem with nvidia doing this at all....

    Showing intel that they aren't king over all is probably a good thing for them, a little reminder that they can't do anything they want whenever they want Shows too, because intel is getting all fussy about it. I think nvidia is smart not to take the payoff, knowing how intel has worked in the past, well, there is probably some fine print somewhere that would try and lock nvidia into some crazy exclusive deal or hurt them long-term or something....

    Uhm...why are everyone talking Intel vs nVidia? Is this dumb and dumber thread?

    This is a plain simple issue that its all nVidias fault. They either ed up with too much SLI/Enhanced stuff that messed up something. Or nVidia simply just hopes to go for a supersale on i780/i790.

    Else its simply a matter of no good retail BIOS with yorkfield support yet.

    if this was on purpose, hopefully Nvidia will pull back from SLI support on intels chipsets. other wise there going to lose some money.
    but then again good news for ATi

    LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL.

    Nice assuming, if this was the case, Intel wouldn't have allowed them to use the QX6850, either. I just got my QX9650, running BFG 680i, it works. LOL.

    Screen shots will be posted as well as pics of the CPU.

    I can tell you right now that every partner using the reference 680i and 780i has
    the bios that supports yorkfield....BUT! you can't overclock it. When you even try to up the FSB by 1 to 334 you'll get a nice dash dash after the reboot. THis is why the 780i was delayed.

    The 780i is crap! LOL! it was funny cuz the first samples that nvidia gave had out defective middle PCI-E slots and when we tried to run 3-way SLI it worked for a couple runs in 3Dmark and then POOF! the slot died and no video. LOL! it's fixed now but I thought i'd share that story.

    Well, lets see this thing overclocked. Good to hear it's moving in the right direction. (reminds me of unnamed chipset with conroe and Kensfield dupport) I assume it'll be working by the launch of the rest of the cpu's.

    Mine overclocks =) I didn't raise the FSB, though, that's what unlocked multiplier is for. You don't have one, that's why you're upset. It runs, it works, it also works while I have SLi. =) Beat that X38 boards. IF YOU CAN GET A LICENSE. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

    Also, it would be illegal for intel to keep information undisclosed based on the contract agreement of the LGA775 use on the Nvidia boards. When a chipset is made to be used on a motherboard, a license and agreement are written, the agreement must contain information guaranteeing support for all CPUs of that socket type. Otherwise, NVIDIA will sue the pants off of intel for breach of contract. Nvidia would also counter and make all of the nvidia cards disabled on an intel chipset when they are loaded in, it would not allow the board to detect it. That would destroy the gaming market for intel.

    If that's your idea of performance overclocking you should be happy with the combination.

    So what's nVidia gonna do? Sue themselves? They made the chipset. And if you read what HP stated there are certain configurations where the combination appears to be stable.

    I bet you the FSB will raise just as well. At any rate, when the G0 stepping Core2Duos released, they were not highly overclockable on the 680i's, a P31 BIOS update solved this problem. The processor released TWO days ago, it's POSTING, EVGA is even released beta BIOSs FOR it via e-mail, should you request it. They will release an update, it will increase its overclockability, everything in computing has problems when it launches, it's not PERFECT. MMORPGs, Chipsets, GPUs, everything. The processor uses the SAME architecture at a smaller-than-before 45nm. What would make it SO hard to operate? You guys make it like we're trying to force a socket 771 processor to post. Nice try, this is the SAME thing that happens when ANY new processor comes out. Just like when Core2Duo first released, just like when the Quads FIRST debuted, there is no conspiracy, its going to work flawlessly, just like every other 775 chip with some "conspiracy". Also, if you guys would stop reading reviews of crap on the "inquirer", you'd know a thing about what is going on. Firstly, an NVIDIA rep confirmed that "tri-SLi" is not even in the works and was considered a fake. The pictures of it, there being few, were doctored. The point of the additional PCI-E 16x slot is to utilize newer sound cards, newer physx cards, etc. Nvidia confirmed if they EVER use more than two cards, it'll be in the form of a GX2 model, like the 7950GX2, which would only use two PCI-e slots. Lastly, the damn processor just came out, why do I want to SUPER_GOD_OVERCLOCK it? I want to burn it in, let it break-in, then, by the time I do any serious overclocking, there will be a further BIOS update. CONSPIRACY OOOOO. Conspiracys DO NOT supercede Federal Law.

    Nvidia DID NOT make the QX9650, they would sue intel for denying contracted information.
