Nforce 680 boards

[Ronnie]

it depends on the chipset like nforce 570 is 8x by 8x sli and 590 is 16x by 16x

and why pay that much extra for a watercooled edition when you could water cool it your self? it may not be cheaper by much but usually it does have better performance then the stock

and also those blue tooth keyboards are horrible for gaming

so wait are pci-e cards running at 16x than ? are some doing it and some arnt? im jsut al il confused on that

 

[Ronnie]

on nforce 570 boards one card in the primary pcie slot will run at 16x, but with 2 cards they will both only run at 8x speeds.

ooo ok ... so sli wont be as good on that chipset then? thats weird ....

 

[Ronnie]

well 680i chipsets have 16x sli and a third pcie slot for physics cards that run on 8x

 

[zerodayATK]

what does pci run at than ? whats the sense of running it in a 16x slot but running it at 8x? are things getting 2 fast?

Some nForce4 SLI boards use x16 SLI, but most use x8. The Lanparty's use x8.

The MSI K8N Diamond Pro is 2x16 SLI, as well some others.
