DDR3 supporting Nforce 790i will launch on March 11th. This looks to be a simultaneous launch to follow the launch of 9800GX2, but Nvidia has pushed this launch already a few times.

This is basically a fixed 680i chipset that can support Quad-core 45nm Penryn and DDR3 memory. We just got goosebumps. This chipset supports tri-SLI and it can support FSB 1600. It is Nvidia’s high-end chipset and this is what Drew’s boys want to base their marketing on.

There will also be a Nforce 790i Ultra.
