NVIDIA 790i Chipset and GeForce 9800 GX2 Launched

Posted by Zonk on from the don't-eat-these-chips-with-dip dept.

MojoKid writes "NVIDIA has launched their next generation desktop chipsets for the Intel platform today, now known as the nForce 790i and 750i SLI families, along with a new high-end graphics card dubbed the GeForce 9800 GX2. The new motherboard chipset offering brings support for DDR3 to the NVIDIA platform for Intel's Core 2 processors with 1600MHz Front Side Bus support, as well as Gen2 PCI Express for multi-GPU graphics and NVIDIA's new ESA health monitoring/control functions. Performance with the new platform looks fairly impressive in both workstation and gaming scenarios."

    ... but hey NVIDIA, when can we get purevideo support for Linux? I appreciate you folks fixing the black window bug and all, but having accelerated x264 would be incredible.
