The graphics chip maker NVIDIA focused at the time in addition to the actual GPU business on the mainboard chipsets, specifically on their Hybrid SLI capabilities, by which it is possible, on Windows the discrete graphics card to turn off and instead the desktop render can be an integrated graphics chip.

That the Hybrid SLI technology, is more specifically hybrid apparently not so easy to control power, as one might think in the first moment of the launch of the nForce 780a Board for AMD processors has shown impressive. For the first time to face, we got the mainboard in January at the computer show CES, the chipset is officially available only for a few days. In addition to the display driver, made above all the BIOS versions of motherboard problems and wanted to not work on first attempt with Hybrid SLI.

Although NVIDIA at the CeBIT announced in March, for Intel processors implement the Hybrid SLI technology also as soon as possible, the corresponding products probably somewhat from manufacturing are away. As colleagues report TechConnect, the fernbedienung U chipset, which will allow Hybrid SLI on an Intel platform, is to move a little further back, as a new revision is necessary.

The chipset will move so to end of June or even July, which Hybrid SLI for Intel CPUs would slip in the third quarter. Nevertheless, first boards at Computex early June to are shown in Taiwan.
