More NVIDIA SLI Chipsets Around the Corner

malware · Sep 25, 2007

NVIDIA plans to unleash new nForce SLI chipsets for AMD and Intel processors in November - the nForce 780 and 750 series. The AMD variants include the nForce 780a SLI and 750a SLI, based on the MCP72 XE and MCP72 P. The Intel variants are based on C72 XE and C72 P and named nForce 780i SLI and 750i SLI. The nForce 780 series include three PCIe ver.2 x16 slots with SLI support, while the nForce 750 series will use only two PCIe ver.2 x16 slots again with support for dual graphics. Additionally, NVIDIA has one more Intel based chipset slated for January 2008. The new NVIDIA nForce 790i SLI is an Intel only chipset with support for DDR3 memory.

It looks like a really bad time to buy a new PC, doesn't it?

But in truth, this 780i isn't going to be any better than 680i, since any chipset that can overclock past 533Mhz is useless due to DDR3 prices.

What does clocking past 533fsb have to do with whether or not you have DDR3? My DDR2 will do well in excess of 1066MHz.

Here's something interesting the guys over at Expertview.com sent me this morning: http://news.expreview.com/2007-09-27/1190864591d3775.html

The picture is taken from an nForce 780i SLI mobo.

According to them, this chip is supposed to be responsible for the PCI-e gen2 graphics.

Nice screenshot

And when you say PCI-e gen 2 you mean PCI-E 2.0 right? :confused:
