So that's not shady at all?
The point is, if nobody would have spotted this thing:
average joe goes on the web, looks for vgas benches, finds a 9600gt bench on 680i with linkboost enabled, thinks, wow, that card is fast!
Average Joe buys a 9600gt for his P35 mobo.
Average Joe PC will perform lower than what he thought
Since when you can run SLI on P35? and if average Joe look for SLI benchs to buy a Single card, he did it wrong.

I like this you get more performance for you $$$ out of the box, every guy that has seen a review saw it on nf680i or nvidia chipset and if they want to use this they have to buy a nf680i so they will get the boost. If they want single card they wont get it as linkboost only works on SLI.

It is still nice to know about this feature, also does everycard out there do this?
