NVIDIA carefully but frequently enlarges the functionality of its chipsets.
The chipset nForce 780i SLI will support three slots PCI express x16 with special chip- switchboard BR04 or nForce 200. This chip was necessary for the chipset to realize PCI express 2.0 support . Directly the north bridge remained the same as in chipset nForce 680i SLI!
In essence, the design of standard motherboard on base of chipset nForce 780i SLI is pretty similar to nForce 680i SLI.
This NVIDIA chipset is as the transitional solution, therefore for the support of PCI express 2.0 Nvidia used a special transitional bridge. It is assumed that the native support of this interface will be ensured by the chipset nForce 790i SLI (C73XE), which will be released in the first quarter of 2008.
