ASUS P5N-T Deluxe nForce 780i Motherboard Preview

ASUS P5N-T Deluxe will be the firm's nForce 680i series successor. Brought to fix some of the nForce 680i bugs, the ASUS P5N-T Deluxe uses NVIDIA's soon to be released nForce 780i chipset, which is in fact a 680i with an added additional PCIe 2.0 bridge. The six pages long preview shows pretty much everything from specs to board layout and heatsink design.

Parece que a Nvidia anda novamente com "cheats":

I should warn everybody now that the PCIe 2.0 bridge is actually a PCIe 2.0 to PCIe 1.1 bridge.

What does this mean?

Well, it means your PCIe 2.0 card will basically be bottlenecked at PCIe 1.1 speeds when communicating to the CPU. False marketing from NVIDIA.

Here's a simple diagram of their "bridge":

. PCIe 1.1 upstream port to HOST
.........._____****____
.........|..................|
.........|...."Bridge"....|
.........|..................|
.........|___________|
.............| | | |
. PCIe 2.0 downstream ports to PCIe slots.


The only improvement that you may see with this is that communicating between other GPU's through the PCIe slot will be at 2.0 speeds (which is highly unlikely because NVIDIA uses their SLI bridge connector, not the slot).

AMD has TRUE PCIe 2.0 so EVERYTHING will be happening at 2.0 speeds.
