Does the NF200 hurt performance?
We are still testing SLI performance with the latest 182.06 driver release and the new BIOS we just received from EVGA. The performance penalties we are currently seeing with the NF200 equipped X58 Classified board average about 1%~3%. In other game benchmarks where we are not GPU limited, we have not noticed any performance differences between the boards.

I'm not even sure that's the target market. More likely this is just a dog and pony show that EVGA will give to the top overclockers of the world, who will also get free CPUs from Intel, RAM from memory companies, etc. Then they will take all of that and push their system to new levels of performance and overclocking. The net result is that they hope having their top motherboard in the fastest systems in the world will have a trickle down effect and people will assume that their lower end products are also the "best". Honestly, it's mostly marketing if you ask me. EVGA might only make 500-1000 of these boards and call it quits for all we know.Jedi2155 - Friday, February 27, 2009 - link
