This is nothing new, there are at least a dozen of 680i mobos out there, I have the eVGA nForce 680i board and it works great (with only one 8800 GTS, though). However, they said that most likely you will not actually have three of the same cards in the three slots, but two cards for rendering and one card for physics, for example. Just like with the processor speed at some point more power is not more frames per second, what you need is different kinds of power to treat the bottlenecks you encounter at those speeds.

The nForce 680i boards already have three PCI-E graphics card slots... two 16x and one 8x. Hmmm... “The question is, how long will it take for mobos to begin appearing with three PCI-E slots?”
