EVGA nForce 680i LT SLI

Memory Performance:

Memory performance is still very good despite being a "cut down" chipset. It even slightly out performs the reference design based Inno3D nForce 680i SLI.

Disk Performance:

The SATA read tests were conducted with a 74GB Western Digital Raptor using HD Tach 3.0.1.0's 8MB zone test. The USB 2.0 tests were done using an ATA133 160GB Maxtor DiamondMax 10 hard drive (model number: 6L160PO) using the same 8MB zone test enclosed in an Icy Box USB 2.0 hard drive caddy. We recorded the average read speeds in all cases.


Across the board performance is very good, with Nvidia chipsets on the whole performing well. The EVGA even has Firewire bandwidth coming out a joint top.
