XFX 780i Vs eVGA 780i FTW

[PhikMan]

Ok, so im upgrading my motherboard, im sick of asus boards, caused me nothing but trouble, and i was looking at an sli board and i cant decide between these two. Going to 790i is just out of the question, couldnt afford the DDR3 and it just seems pointless atm when DDR2 is working well.
So im after your say. which is better? XFX 780i or eVGA 780i FTW edition?

 

[stalin90]

the ftw edition would be better because it has all solid state capacitors and 8 phase power

which meannnssss...

more stable oc's and longer lifetime

Sweet, has anyone found any good reviews on the eVGA 780i? ive found one, and by some reports, its good but not fantastic...

 

[NosBoost300]

well i would just like to say my evga 680i was my favorite mobo... it broke everyones standards and got my q6600 to 4.2 ghz on air!!!! 466fsb!!

could have gotten higher if the stupid fsb voltage could go up

i don't know if the 780i fixed that problem or not

and from most reveiws ive seen they have said its fantastic lol but thats because its just as good as a 780 chip, my guesse is it is. the only reaon to get 780i is 3 way sli.

ya i did lol

i hate it when people talk guff on nvidia chipsets.. they are not bad with the right owners!

 

[Poizen22]

yea like some one erlier who denouced it and said it isnt worth your time if it isnt p45. wont say any names tho. the only thign with nvidia chips is the video error which i dotn get anymore.

 

[stalin90]

466fsb!!

really i thought 680i's topped out at around 440 (farthest ive gone on mine was about 420 not teh max but temps on cpu were gettin kinda bad.)

the 780i i played with sucked, unfortunately. if another owner could make it not be a piece of vdrooping ****, then i would gladly listen to the story of how it happened.

EDIT: BUT, i loved my 590SLI with all my heart.
