    I, personally, was expecting much more from 780i than just a refreshed 680i

    Is 780i chipset the new nvidia's joke ?

    I hope they've improve Overclcokign capabilities... and we can reach more than 450 Mhz stable ( if we care about the evga that can reach 480...)

    who knows they may have fixed all the bugs from 680i and this thing will stomp x38.

    gonna wait to real world people use one for final verdict though

    I may be wrong but isn't the tri-fire pci-e x8 for all three slots. If so the Nvidia at 3 x 16 could have a small advantage.

    I looks like nvidia have made a new board without making much of an effort. There is so little difference (looks-wise) between the 680i and 780i. It's a very lazy approach to it.

    It is680i with a PCI-E v2 bridge. I would guess ther will be a 8-series in 6 months or less as nvidia have had some time to work n a chipset. Looks like AMD will have the best chipsets this round, only problem is they wont run Intel Cpus. Lets hope Phenom is actually worth it after all. X38+Yorkfield should be badass as well as long as it doesnt have any stupid bugs like the cheaper Intel boards have most of the time.
    Seems we made our greatest error when we named it at the start
    for though we called it "Human Nature" - it was cancer of the heart

    i think that the stronger nv chipset will be if there is a 780a since the 680a was great but then the socket f or socket l whatever u want to call it died with amd reliesing opetern 2k with rd790 chips insted of just limiting it to fx that will be an interesting paradox from the 4ghz intel quad v 2x 4 core 2.6ghz opti

    In 790i, the i should stand for Intel. Although I'm not sure whether that chip even exists....

    i is for intel
    a is for amd

    So 780i = intel ddr2
    780a = amd ddr2

    790i is supposedly for intel ddr3

    Since AM2 doesn't support DDR3 yet (not til AM3 at least), there probably won't be a 790a for a long while
