NVIDIA entered the motherboard market in 2001 with the release of the nForce chipset. Best known as a video card maker, NVIDIA has branched out into other markets including the motherboard chipset market, handheld graphics chips, notebook chips, workstation and more. NVIDIA is a multi-billion dollar US company with revenues exceeding 600 million a quarter.
NVIDIA started in the motherboard chipset market on the AMD platform. Intel required a bus license and controlled the market. AMD, on the other hand, allowed the motherboard chipset manufacturers to design and build their own chipsets without the need for a bus license. NVIDIA concentrated on the AMD platform with the nForce2 and 3 chipsets. 2004 saw the release of the nForce4 platform. Late in 2004, NVIDIA announced the nForce4 SLI for Intel platform, their first Intel chipset.
NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI Features:
Supports Intel Socket 775 Celeron D, Pentium 4, Pentium D 9xx, Pentium D 8XX, Core 2 Duo, and Core 2 Extreme processorsSupports Dual Channel DDR2-800MHz memorySLI X16Two full-bandwidth 16-lane PCI Express links ensure maximum performance, twice the PCI Express bandwidth of X8 SLI solutionsFirstPacketDualNetMediaShieldnTune 5.0 Fine Performance Tuning
NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI Features:
Supports Intel Socket 775 Celeron D, Pentium 4, Pentium D 9xx, Pentium D 8XX, Core 2 Duo, and Core 2 Extreme processorsSupports Dual Channel DDR2-800MHz memorySLITwo, 8-lane PCI Express linksNVIDIA FirstPacket tm technologyMediaShieldnTune 5.0 Smart Performance tuningNVIDIA's nForce 590 SLI for Intel chipset is similar in many respects to the AMD version of the chipset. There are two chipsets for the Intel platform, the nForce 590 SLI and the nForce 570 SLI chipsets. The 590 SLI is designed for the high-end enthusiast and has a projected MSRP of $150+. The 570 SLI is designed for the Performance market and has a projected MSRP of $130.
