OCZ has now announced that it will, just as Corsair, launch memory modules with “SLI-Ready” brandings where the support for Enhanced Performance Profiles (EPP) is the main feature. It’s NVIDIA who backs up the platform through its new nForce 590 SLI chipset, which has a specially designed BIOS that can make use of the information stored in the EPP on the memory module using the technology. Corsair has recently launched its first memory modules with EPP and even if OCZ hasn’t released anything yet it is just a matter time before the first EPP capable memory modules from OCZ will appear.
“The mission of Enhanced Performance Profiles is to offer optimized system operation and compatibility through the collaboration and integration of OCZ configured SPD (Serial Presence Detect) settings and BIOS designs on NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI-based motherboards. OCZ exclusively engineered select high-performance modules with advanced SPD settings to allow compatible motherboards to recognize and utilize the added information, ultimately increasing the performance potential of the entire platform.”
