EVGA 780i SLI vs XFX 780i SLI - Overclock.net

Differences between the two boards? which is better? are they the same? did it just happen to be a coincidence that the 3DMark06 world record is on the EVGA one cos the guy didn't buy a XFX?

Same exact board, both are reference mobo's from NVIDIA.

As Marin said. So, it comes down to warranty and service as well as personal preference also.

well in my opinion they are charging you way to much for a board that is built very cheaply.
i would recommend looking at one with solid capacitors design they tend to last way longer.

i have the xfx version, i paid 420 aussie dollars for it, now the evga's are at 320 assie dollars.

if your aiming for sli, go with a x38 and spend the money you saved on a card.

You do realize that SLi will only work on an NVIDIA board as it needs an NVIDIA chipset. X38 uses an Intel chipset and has Crossfire.

Unless I am reading your post wrong and you are suggesting he shouldn't by another card and just get an X38 mobo. If so, he should go P35 as X38 is only really useful for running ATI cards in Crossfire.

sorry i meant to say if he doesn't really have a erge to go sli he should get a X38 or a P35 and just have one (really good) card be it from nvidea or ATI.
sorry about that,

Ok new Question, I think there is a difference in the boards,
XFX/EVGA 780i SLI vs. Asus Maximus Formula 2 780i SLI.
I think there is a difference here as the Asus one is different. which is better?

in my opinion, i would take xfx instead of evga. Evga pays much more, only difference is warranty and bundle, and whos gonna use evga's 10year warranty.
And the test results tell, that xfx and evga are exact same board.
and codymckay only difference between xfx/evga vs. asus maximus formula 2, I think is bundle. I guess maximus formula 2 doesnt beat evga/xfx on test results either, because if we look at asus p5n-t-deluxe and p5n mobos test results, we'll see that asus mobos hasnt succeeded OC tests as well as xfx/evga, or they had some kind of a problem keeping the comp stable.

xfx is worthless, go with the evga

Short story:
tried to build an xfx 680i system, went thru two xfx boards, both busted...go with evga
