New 780I boards

[colt1911]

I read an article on Tom's hardware that Nvidia would be releasing the 780I series chipsets in Nov. Has anyone else heard any rumors about these new chipsets?

I've heard of the 7 series motherboards, but don't know too much about them yet.

This is suppose to be a 780i DS5 picture

Obviously not in November.

I wished , I 've been thinking about trying a Gigabyte board . Lately I've read alot of good reviews especially on the P35.

 

[chupacabra]

probably on january but that's just my guess, it might even take longer than that but who knows

 

[ThatGuy16]

Get this, i am

That is if you were thinking about dishing out that kind of money for a 780i...

but i expect it to be a few more months before release

 

[colt1911]

I found this Asus

 

[mep916]

There are many prototypes. My guess is early '08. The latest being April.

Yeah that's a nice board but I'd have to give up SLI , which might not be a bad idea.

Wrong, what if nvidia were to surpass again ati? what would you do without SLI

 

[colt1911]

Right now it would really suck because I have ( 2 ) 8800gt on order.

 

[ThatGuy16]

Im choosing to go with that and Crossfire 3870's... but 2 8800GT's should be nice

 

[colt1911]

I just read an article as to where the 680I chipsets will not be supporting the 45nm quads as stated earlier due to conflict between Intel and Nvidia. I have the 680I board and was all set to upgrade to the Q9550 and 2 8800gt cards , but as of now I'm through with SLI and I'm also through with nvidia chipsets. If anyone can suggest a good overclocking P35 or X38 please let me know.

That's interesting. Guess I'll need a new mobo to run the Q9450.

 

[colt1911]

Yeah , alot of people are really pi**ed at Nvidia right now. People that did their research on these boards were told that they would support the 45nm quads and now at the last minute there changing the story. I for one think that the 680I manufactures should step up and make this work.

From what I've heard the 780i is just a bios revision for 3 way SLI.
You're better off getting a 680i for less money when the 780i's come out.

Who knows though, the 7 series could be a surprise.

I already have a 680I board that's what I mad about because they will not be supporting the new Intel quads as we were told they would.
