XFX & ZOTAC nForce 790i Ultra Motherboard Reviews

Two nForce 790i Ultra based motherboards, the XFX nForce 790i Ultra 3-Way SLI and Zotac nForce 790i-Supreme, go head-to-head in this review from Digit Life:

We decided it would be logical to merge reviews of XFX nForce 790i Ultra 3-Way SLI and Zotac nForce 790i-Supreme into one article, because both products are, in fact, reference boards that were ordered by NVIDIA from its manufacturer. Thus, if you are going to buy something similar from another company (e.g. EVGA), this article will also be useful. In fact, two boards we review today differ only by bundles.

..If we take into account only functionality of the motherboard, without its supposedly excellent overclocking potential, we should admit that it’s a usual top product, nothing more. A number of solutions (POST controller with a display, chipset cooling system) detach this reference motherboard on nForce 790i Ultra SLI from the usual products. But it’s a unique solution only owing to its SLI support (including 3-Way SLI) in combination with Penryn support. If you are not interested in SLI, you may find a similar or better product, for example on Intel X48, but cheaper by $100.
