GB GA-965P-DQ6 or the EVGA 122-CK-NF68 Nvidia 680

I am building a new rig and these are my final two choices between motherboards, I am just trying to figure out for now without going the SLi till later next year which board I am better off with.
 
I got 2 dead DQ6's in a row and ended up going with a P5B Deluxe to even get my PC to work. So I'm not totally convinced Gigabyte's QC is that great. However, they had really good and knowledgeable tech support.
 
Isn't the GA-965P-DQ6 ''Crossfire'' and the EVGA 122-CK-NF68 ''Sli''? Or does the GA-965P-DQ6 not support Sli or Crossfire making it not a choice at all if you're planning on mating two video cards together for a minimium performance increase on a few games that support the technology. Kinda like asking if I like apples or rasins better. In my opinion; Personally I dont care for the way Nvidia is run, But ATI just doesn't have the sales revenue to keep up with them(most evident in driver update packages not saying Nvidia out wieghs them in this area). So Nvidia's Sli is going to be the better choice. Just remember that on the EVGA 122-CK-NF68 the AR ver. has a lifetime warranty and a lot more accesories vs the TR ver.. The 680i chipset has come along way in the last several months Bios updates have cured most of all issues and It is really starting to step up to be the top preformer. Look at the 975 and 965 reviews they were crap too, with all the same issues if not more when they were introduced to the retail market.
 
fanatic, if you get the EVGA 122-CK-NF68 board, let it wait a couple of weeks. A new revision of the board just came out, it fixes various issues present on the first board, including some memory issues, ps/2 issues and quad core overclocking.
They currently offer the new revision as RMA for those that were not able to overclock their quad cores (including me), but the retail version should hit the shelves soon and it might still be named as the current boards; keep an eye out.
BIOS support for the EVGA board has been great so far, their service is great and the new board is a guaranteed winner.
