Epox 9U1697 GLI Mobo – SLI Killer? @ PC Perspecitve

The Epox 9U1697 GLI motherboard features the ULi 1697 chipset and two x16 PCI Express connectors. Using the newly “released” SLI patch on the web, PCPer was able to get SLI up and running on this non-NF4 chipset without much problem and has performance nearly identical to that of the NF4 SLI chipsets. If this becomes available state-side it might be quite popular in budget gaming boxes. Add comment
