Gigabyte delivered us a surprise package containing not only their nForce 570 SLI solution, but even their stunning nForce 590 SLI board. At this point of time, what we do know is that the nForce 590 SLI is NVIDIA's top performing chipset that has dual full-speed PCIe x16 slots and the chipset is also a two-chip solution like the current nForce4 SLI X16 class. The finer specifics will soon be revealed in a matter of weeks, but for now what we are aware is that if has six SATA 3.0Gpbs connectors (RAID 5 capable), dual Gigabit LAN media controllers integrated, HD-Audio support and many more numerous PCIe lanes available. Like the current best, it is likely going to be tuned for better performance and overclockability than the mainstream chipsets.
