Nvidia Corporation has introduced the next-generation nForce 780i SLI media and communications processor (MCP), designed specifically for 1333FSB Intel QX9650 (Yorkfield) processors.

The new nForce 780i SLI MCP brings a multitude of new functionality to Intel platforms, including support for the new Enthusiast System Architecture specification and PCI Express Gen 2.0. It is also the first motherboard solution to also support the Company’s new 3-way SLI technology, the industry’s preeminent multi-GPU platform solution based on Nvidia GeForce graphics processing units.

“Our customers aren’t going to bed with visions of sugar-plums dancing in their heads. They’re dreaming of playing games like Crysis in their entire splendor, running on Nvidia SLI technology,” said Kelt Reeves, president of Falcon Northwest. “With nForce 780i and an Intel Yorkfield CPU under the hood, those visions will quickly become a reality. We’re excited to offer our customers fully-equipped rigs with not one, not two, but three of Nvidia's most extreme gaming GeForce graphics processors, the perfect platform for experiencing the most advanced games ever developed.”

Nvidia 3-way SLI technology offers an unmatched PC gaming experience, delivering up to a 2.8-times performance boost over traditional single graphics card platforms. For playing this year’s most cutting-edge games, including Crysis and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, 3-way SLI technology lets gamers ratchet up the resolution to 1900x1200 and 2500x1600 respectively, while partaking in all of the eye candy including high dynamic range lighting, motion blur, and realistic environmental effects.
