Is this an n680i or n650i mobo?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu … =MB-222-AS

I was looking around for a good motherboard capable of 2xPCI-e 16 and came across this, when I looked at the reviews (in the site) I saw people bickering over wether or not this was an n650i or n680i. So if someone could clear it up that be good, I tried googling it but my answers was it resembles the asus extreme in a lot of ways (which is like £100 more expensive).

Also one other slightly noobish question, considering it is an nvidia board, does that mean there will be issues running an ATI card? Just a thought

It's an 680i based mobo, but chipset is a bit different. Northbridge is made out of 650i SLi, southbridge out of 570 SLi. But altogether it's 680i:). That means you can run 2 graphic cards at PCIe x16, not only at x8.
No, you can run Ati cards without problem:)

Thats the one Im getting for my new rig. I've done loads of research and its exactly the same performance as the £210 Striker Extreme and is only missing a few non-essential gimmicks.

Good taste my friend!

Hope it doesn't have as many issues as the Striker...
