8800gs SLI???

[baron5]

the 680i i had was overpriced, but nothing wrong with it really, overclocked my q6600 to 3.4 and even 3.6(temps were too high). for a board that old i was happy. the ease of overclocking due to the amount of features was good too, they are not really that bad, just not worth the money unless u need to sli.

7 series have the worst vdroop of any board ever made. seriously...look it up. lol i may be exaggerating a little...but it is terrible and its terribleness is well documented.

yeah my 680i was pretty bad for that too. which did make it annoying when overclocking.

...i never had any problem (AT ALL...i loved that mobo *cry*) with my AM2 590 sli. but it wasn't a 7 series chipset for LGA775, either.

Ah you mean the intel nforce chipsets?

i've never had a problem with my board. and to that other guy, no 9600 and an 8800 would not SLI together. you need the same series, aka 8 series 9 series together.

stay awaaaaaaaaaay from the nvidia chipsets dude. just my two cents.

I kind of agree, epically since SLI just doesn't seem worth it atm.

I decided so I dont have to deal with SLI, since some games arent compatible, doesnt scale well for some games, Ill just sell the 8800gs, and buy a 9800gtx since there only 200 now, cheaper probably by the time I upgrade. Put it in a 750i SLI board still, then in the future when i feel my computers weak for the games of that time, I can add another 9800gtx for sli.

If you get a 750i board, make sure it's the 750i ftw. But by the time your ready to sli 9800gtx it probably won't be worth it... I would just get a p45/x38 and grab a single card to ride out with until your ready to upgrade once again.

7 series have the worst vdroop of any board ever made. seriously...look it up. lol i may be exaggerating a little...but it is terrible and its terribleness is well documented.

The 750i ftw is a pretty good board, I haven't heard of any vdroop on it. The rest of them I hear are horrible.

ricanflow:
yes, thats what i mean.
thresh:
you have an AM2 mobo. no problem with them (especially the 590, awesome chipset)...just the intel 7 series.
guru:
yes the 780i that i sent back (and thankfully got a refund for instead of exchange, i guess spending **** loads of money at newegg helps sometimes lol) was absolute garbage. it looked FANTASTIC though, lol...but id had the worst vdroop i have ever even heard of, let alone seen myself. thought about the FTW, but evga is the only one who makes that and you know how i feel about them, meh.
