Test Setup
There should be no real difference in performance results between the 680i and 780i provided everything is the same on both test platforms. Certainly, 3-way SLI could make a difference, and we will test this in the Triple SLI review also published at AnandTech today. A single 8800GTX tested with the same CPU and memory on both chipsets will likely perform the same.
However, many times what should be the same turns out to be different when we run actual tests. Just to make sure, we will run several general performance benchmarks on both the 780i and 680i chipsets and compare the results.

Got some broken links here. Nothing works for me past the second page. Keep getting taken to the search feature.JarredWalton - Monday, December 17, 2007 - link
Had some server problems today - sorry about that. The article was pulled and we couldn't get things up and running properly until now.--Jarred
