XFX nForce 680i SLI Motherboard Review

XFX is another graphics card manufacturer taking advantage of Nvidia’s pre-designed 6-series motherboards, as it has brought out its own version of Nvidia’s nForce 680i SLI motherboard. If you’ve not been keeping up with the times, the nForce 680i SLI chispet is Nvidia’s current flagship product that offers a pair of “full” PCI-Express x16 lanes as well as an x8 for “future physics applications”, or, anything else you decide to drop into it.

..There’s no physical difference between XFX’s board and any other motherboard partner using Nvidia’s board design, but XFX’s bundle is certainly stronger with a complete complement of cables that all comes in a pretty nice box. It seems funny to talk so much about the box contents instead of the actual board, so if you’re not concerned with what you get in addition to the actual product you’re buying, your best best is to just plump for the cheapest you can find.

As far as the XFX nForce 680i SLI goes, it doesn’t have the best warranty period, but it’s still a great board and yet again we have great overclocking, super solid stability, great performance and a very user friendly BIOS. If you do find it for the right price compared to the competition, you won’t be disappointed.
