Abstract: An ideal board for enthusiasts, with the option to go with either two or three way SLI, and with the added bonus of a multitude of overclocking options in the BIOS. Add to this a fair price for a high-end board and you cant go far wrong. XFX - 780i S...
Two of the 780i SLI chipsets selling points are its native support for Intels 1,600MHz FSB CPUs and 3-Way SLI. With 3-Way SLI making about as much financial sense as a Fabergé Egg-and-spoon race, it isnt at the top of our list of priorities. You als...
Abstract: We have already tested a couple of motherboards based on NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI, but frankly they have not produced a distinct and certain impression. There are no issues with the main features: at the expansion options, the boards match the previous p...
Abstract: After ASUS introduced its premiere motherboard, we received the XFX vision of what a nForce 780i chipset-based motherboard should look like. Of course, the packaging is top-notch, just like earlier XFX models we had tested, and besides the motherboard,...

The XFX 780i SLI is a board of ups and down, just as we have found with previously reviewed 780i boards. Performance at stock is fairly inconsistent with some great results mixed in with some average and some poor performance. The layout and build qualit...
It may look better, but it also costs £20 more than an XFX nForce 680i SLI and wed certainly be tempted to sit back and wait to see if the nForce 780i SLI suffers from the same significantly high number of board deaths that the nForce 680i SLI had - p...
The aging NVIDIA 680i SLI motherboard finally loses it's flagship status as the latest and greatest SLI board on the market. The NVIDIA 780i SLI motherboard is the new king of the hill for those that want the ultimate in Intel/NVIDIA platforms. ...
Overall, the new nForce 780i SLI chipset performs right on par with or slightly better than the nForce 680i SLI. All three of the platforms we tested traded top benchmark scores however and by all rights, can be considered evenly matched. In some be...
