The nForce 780a SLI chipset has been on the verge of release many times over
the past several months but there was always something pushing it back. Now
NVIDIA is finally ready to unveiling their first updated AMD-platform
chipset in years and the ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe is the first board on the
chopping block. Can Hybrid Power and other new features save this chipset
from mediocre integrated GPU performance?

Quote: "The drawbacks to the Hybrid Power though outweigh the positives in
this current implementation. First, only the 9800 GTX and the 9800 GX2
graphics cards are supported with the 780a SLI chipset - that leaves a whole
host of NVIDIA users with 9600 GTs, 8800 GTS and GT cards that probably
think they have the right to Hybrid Power technology since their cores are
based on the same that rests under the hoods of the 9800 GTX and GX2. Also,
the REAL KILLER here is that NVIDIA is promoting the nForce 780a SLI chipset
as an enthusiast platform, and pushing Hybrid Power with these high end
cards, yet the fact that the motherboard GPU can only output at 1920x1200
resolutions is not-so-cleverly hidden."
