nVidia nForce 680 SLI in November

Although we still haven't seen a single nForce 590 SLI based Intel mainboard in the wild, nVidia is already planning a successor. One of our sources told us that we can expect Intel mainboards with a nForce 680 SLI chipset as early as november. The launch date would be in line with nVidia's upcoming GeForce 8 series video cards, based on the G80 chips. Most of the specs of the nForce 680 SLI are still unknown. Our sources told us the chipset will support 48 PCI-Express lanes, which could mean that nVidia is aiming at mainboards with three PCI-Express x16 slots, possibly two for video cards in SLI and one for an extra video card for Physics.
