A while back I went ahead and purchased the Asus P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe which has the nForce 4 chipset.

Now that the 680i boards are out, is it worth the money to upgrade?

I have the Core2 E6600
Just upgrade to the 8800 GTX ( I had 2 7800GTX that is why I need the SLI nForce)

I doubt I will do any overclocking.

Will I see any difference in performance, and any new features that I will benefit from?

Thanks!

Faster stock performance bewteen stock mobos? Not really. Maybe a tiny amount. The 680i biggest claim is in its OCing ability. New features? Yeah, take a look at the Striker Extreme. It has features not seen on older mobs. Is it worth the price? That depends on your view. I'll let you decide that one. For those wanting to get a 680i mobo I'd say hold off two more weeks and see how DFI's RD600 is. If its more stable than the 680i then get it. If its not then go ahead and pick up a 680i. By then the 680i mobos will have better BIOSes availble.
