NVIDIA 780i SLI Motherboard Review Coming Soon

NVIDIA released their 780i SLI motherboard this morning, but you might have noticed we don't have a review of it posted. We got the board last week while we were in New York for AMD's Analyst Day and when we got to loading up the Operating System we found our system was having some issues. It seemed to work fine with 2GB of memory, but when 4GB of memory was used in either 2 x 2GB or 4 x 1GB configurations we were left with numerous blue screens of death and warm booting issues. We have contacted NVIDIA and have a new board on the way. Right now we are benchmarking the board with a 2 x 2GB kit of OCZ Reaper X PC2-6400 memory, but it's tough as we reboot between benchmark runs. Here is a picture of the 780i system that is giving us such a hard time.

Just in time for the big guy's annual holiday sleigh ride, NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), the world leader in visual computing technologies, today introduced the Company's next-generation NVIDIA nForce® 780i SLI media and communications processor (MCP), designed specifically for 1333FSB Intel QX9650 (Yorkfield) processors. The new nForce 780i SLI MCP brings a multitude of new functionality to Intel platforms, including support for the new Enthusiast System Architecture specification and PCI Express Gen 2.0. It is also the first motherboard solution to support the Company's new 3-way SLI™ technology, the industry's preeminent multi-GPU platform solution based on NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics processing units.
