Upgrade Advice: Triple SLI?

Kotaku AU

If you saw last week’s post on triple SLI and were considering buying a motherboard with an nForce 780i chipset, I have one word for you.

Don’t.

Scalable Link Interface (SLI) technology is aimed at two markets – enthusiasts and pro overclockers. I know for a fact that a lot of enthusiasts can’t make extensive use of SLI because it’s just too damn expensive. Pro overclockers don’t really care about price, and most of the time the hardware is being provided free by the likes of Gigabyte and ASUS.

NVIDIA Makes 169.21 ForceWare Drivers Available

Kotaku AU

If you like to stay up-to-date with your system drivers, and own an NVIDIA graphics card, then you might want to download the latest WHQL ForceWare candidates.

There’s no mention of any specific games that these drivers affect, however, they do add support for NVIDIA’s upcoming 8800 GTS based on the company’s G92 chip (the same one in the excellent 8800 GT). Not that they’re available yet, but there’s nothing wrong with being prepared.

If you’re curious, there’s a huge PDF of release notes. As much as I’d like to read them, I’d more than likely suffocate myself with my phone before reaching the end.

The link here leads to the Vista 32-bit version of the drivers. Versions for other Windows operating systems can be found in the immediate area following the link.
