Zotac 790i Supreme motherboard withdraws  Tweak'O meters to 9.0 where it will stop up here because of its beautiful design, rich features package and a reasonable seriously bundle. The yield is also sublime on the motherboard and overclocking obviously get the service to rise quite dramatically.

The general incentive to invest in a slightly older socket 775 motherboard has disappeared with the launch of Intels new X-58 mainboard  - which can run both Crossfire and SLI, and is in the same price range. However, it is an issue I will not let Zotac suffer under - their nForce 790i Supreme performs quite well. If you still own an Intel Yorkfield or Wolfdale CPU, and aren't too crazy about the idea of having to invest in an i7 processor and a Tri-Channel Kit, this is certainly the motherboard for you.

Quote: “What makes the Supreme so appealing? It offers stability, reliability, performance, and even overclocking. Despite the weaknesses of the NVidia 790i chipset, it still manages to make efficient use of the resources it does have and rivals Intel's powerful X48 platform. I found the sweet spot for the Supreme was about 445 MHz FSB for 24/7 operations. And the platform makes much better use of the 2000 MHz Viper DDR3 Memory as well. That's quite important if you're expecting top end in game frame rates.”

This main board is the king for SLI systems and with DDR3 support it multiplies the performance. The main board price is normal for the market but when the DDR3 memories will be more affordable it will be more valuable fort he users

"At last Nvidia succeed the performance with 790i chipset. The chipset is nearly better than X48 within the performance and has a good technology. And also while testing the mainboard we have fantastic performance values with both dual and quad core cpu’s. With E8500 we get 575 FSB and with QX9650 we get 485 FSB and we are all stabile. We like the mainboard very much and if your budget is enough to have this, we will absolutely buy the fastest platform for Nvidia GPU’s. It deserves the best performance award from us and also thanks to Zotac for supporting us in OC competitions."
