October 1st 2007 | CPUs & Chipsets

Nvidia is now heralding Tri(ple)-SLI as the big thing in graphics and it is preparing it for November. Tri-SLI will be introduced together with the nForce 700 series of chipsets, more specifically, the nForce 780a and 780i, both of which will become available in November.

The 780i for Intel platforms and the 780a for AMD’s AM2+ processors will both feature three x16 PCI-Espress slots and will be the high-end offers that support the Tri-SLI technology which will become available for GeForce 8800 (and maybe G92) cards. Another Intel chipset, codename C73 (780i is C72) will also support Tri-SLI but its release date is expected for Q1 2008.
