New 780i :)

[HarryB]

I’m looking into buying the a new Nvidia 780i Mobo so I’m ready for the 9 Series which will support 2.0 PCI-Ex. I've got an EVGA 680i at the moment but I don’t know weather to turn to The Asus Striker series. I’m sure there have been many benchmarks between the EVGA and ASUS 680i boards but I just want to know which boards are best? The EVGAs? Or ASUS Strikers?

Much of a muchness.

Matt is about to review the asus 780i so just wait a day or two. Are you even going to use the sli functionality?

If not, Intel chipsets are far superior - much bigger OC's.

Thats what i was thinking, Im not sure if im going to use SLI i havnt with this board but i may do with the new one, Do you think Nvidia will ever allow intel to use SLI on there boards?

Ahhhh Very Cool, Ahhh such a hard desision, Intel = No SLI but better clocks Nvidia = SLI but not as good clocks. And i need one quite urgently but the Nvidia ones are abit rare to find in stock to say the least Im strung between these 2......

Is that overkill? and a wast of money.
