This is good news. I wish NV would have released an updated chipset for the new Proc lineup. Fake Raid is still better implemented on a NV board than on AMD chipset board (even on high end boards).

Would have been better if there was an updated NV chipset that will allow AMD GPUs CF, that will be like Macadamia + Almond + chocolate chip on one cookie :D

If say ASUS pays the $5 certification Nvidia will allow the drivers on the 990fx chip.

the problem is where anyone would pay $5 for sli, asus etc will add about $40 for the feature when they go to sell it.

The $5 is per board, per version, not the chipset only.

As it sits with Intel boards, every board in a certain lineup has to pay $4 per board to have SLI, this is why the Asus P55 series, some boards have SLI and the lower end doesn't. It is because they didn't spend that $4 on the low end models;)
