DFI LanParty UT NF680i SLI-T2R is a motherboard that stands in three quite
distinct ways. First of all, it’s DFI best motherboard for those who are using,
or want to use, NVIDIA SLI. Second, the board is not based on NVIDIA’s best
chip, nForce 680i, but “just” the second best; nForce 680i LT, to reduce costs.
Last but not least, the colors of this particular board are a lot more orthodox
than than those of the previous LanParty boards. Even though the colors are a
bit part of the overall impression, it’s still the performance that matters, and
in this case DFI’s decision to use the LT version instead of the fully fledged
nForce 680i chipset. This is what we will investigate in our latest article.
“But now, one year since the introduction of the Core 2 Duo with several
new interesting products on the way, it looks as if DFI is finally making its
way back to the spotlight. One of the motherboards introduced by DFI this summer
is the DFI LanParty UT NF680i SLI-T2R, a motherboard which I’ve been granted the
opportunity to have a closer look at.”
