Since it came out, just in time for the holiday season, not a lot has been said about the performance of the nForce 780i SLI. You wonder why? Let's take a look at this comparison between an XFX incarnation of nVidia's latest and greatest with the Inno3D nForce 680i SLI, to see if something can be said at all. An Abit IX38 Quad GT is also tossed into the mix, just for fun.

So much for the CPU of choice, a Core 2 Duo E6750, not THE Q6600, but it'll have to do. The graphics card is no other than the GeForce 8800 GT (two, if we talk about SLI), so there's nothing to complain about in this department. The OS chosen starts to be ubiquitous (because of DX10): Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit version, to make it not too complicated).

2D applications, single graphics card, are more or less favourable to the 780i. More if we talk about WinRAR 3.71, less if you look at results from the other two programs. When it comes to games, we could also consider it a draw. So, if you own an nForce 680i SLI, you aren't missing much.
