Evga Nforce 680i Sli Drivers

Nvidia has partnered with other companies to offer the NForce 680i SLI series motherboard to consumers. Nvidia offers its engineering expertise in the making of the motherboard, while authorized partners sell and support the hardware. These partners maintain the BIOS, or basic input output system, on the NForce motherboards. The BIOS is an important component on motherboards, helping the computer check system hardware and start the operating system. Though the motherboard is labeled with 'Designed by Nvidia,' the update to the BIOS is achieved through its partners.

Our testing methods We've assembled a small collection of boards for testing to represent the 780i SLI's most direct competitors. From the Intel camp, we have P35 and X38 Express-based motherboards from Asus and Gigabyte. The Asus boards use DDR3 memory, while the Gigabytes are equipped with DDR2. We've also thrown in an nForce 680i SLI reference board from EVGA to illustrate how the 780i compares with its predecessor.

The nForce 780i SLI comes with a slightly newer ForceWare driver package, which is why that board is using different drivers than the 680i. All application tests were run on each board.

However, since our Intel-based DDR2 and DDR3 configs all share the same ICH9R south bridge, we've limited our Serial ATA, USB, PCI, and PCIe testing to the DDR2 systems. All tests were run three times, and their results were averaged.
