Holding 4 new world records - http://www.futuremark.com/community/halloffame/

Brea, California and Munich, Germany - October 01, 2008 - EVGA Corporation, the leading-edge 3D processor and motherboard manufacturer, announces the latest EVGA-designed addition to its line of high-performance 3-Way-SLI-ready motherboards, the EVGA nForce 790i SLI FTW DIGITAL PWM. Engineered For The Win, early samples of this motherboard already set 4 new performance world records at NVIDIA’s NVISION in late August 2008 in San Jose, California. Featuring an EVGA enthusiast BIOS for extended range voltage settings, 100% solid state capacitors, 100% ferrite core chokes and an advanced 8 phase digital PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) power supply solution. The EVGA nForce 790i SLI FTW DIGITAL PWM runs superior and stable in extreme over-clocking environments to set even more new records. This advanced platform supports 2000+ MHz dual chan-nel DDR3 system memory and 1600+ MHz front side bus. Available on October 1, 2008, the EVGA nForce 790i SLI FTW DIGITAL PWM motherboard combines ulti-mate overclocking performance and next generation NVIDIA 3-Way and 2-Way SLI at a recommended retail price of $339.99 USD.

Advanced features introduced on the EVGA 790i SLI FTW DIGITAL mother-board:

• Intel socket 775 45nm CPU ready for Intel Core 2 Duo “Yorkfield” and Intel Core 2 Quad “Wolfdale”.
• 3x PCIe 2.0 x16 slots for highest PCIe bus bandwidth
• NVIDIA next generation SLI-2 certified, combining true SLI and PhysX in a 3-way-SLI configuration.
• EVGA 8 phase digital power supply design for utmost stability in extreme over-clocking environment (replacing a 6 phase analogue reference power supply).
• 100% solid state capacitors and all ferrite core chokes to precisely sharpen the signal and to reduce the signal’s noise to extend the over-clocking range.
• EVGA enthusiast BIOS for advanced over-clocking, including a complete menu of validated over-clocking voltage settings to also introduce the less ex-perienced enthusiast step-by-step to advanced voltage settings (Dummy OC from 5% - 25% over-clocking).
• Extreme manual over-clocking supported by an extended range of signal-stabilized BIOS voltage settings.
• “Vdroop” BIOS settings to extend and stabilize the over-clocking range at heavy CPU load.
• Supporting 2000+ MHz 128 bit dual-channel DDR3 memory and 1600+ MHz FSB.
• EVGA clear CMOS button, power- and reset button with EVGA status LED and EVGA CPU temperature indicator.
• Diagnostic LED for simplified trouble shooting
• 9 SATA-2 ports with support for RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5, JBOD
• HD Audio - 7.1 Channel, Azalia (HAD)
• 2 native 1Gb Ethernet connectors
• 10 USB 2.0 connectors
• 2 IEEE 1394 Firewire connectors
• Innovative sideway exhaust chipset cooling.
