It seams that the nForce 780i isn't working the way it should at the moment. The chipset meant to replace the aging nForce 680i has issues with Intel's recently unveiled Penryn processors. The exact issues remains illusive but apparently the board will be delayed an additional two months and boards are not expected until December. A while back we reported about the nForce 780i being pretty much just a nForce 680i with a PCIe bridge chip and that they perform identically, and to be honest we sincerely hope that we're wrong about that one. Just adding a PCIe 2.0 bridge chip and calling it a whole new chipset is a slap in the consumers' face.
