The nForce 750a is based on NVIDIA’s flagship nForce 780a chipset, which itself is built on the highly successful nForce 680i chipset. The chipset shares many functions as the 780i such as DDR2-1066MHz, SLI capable, PCI express 2.0, Media shield, HD Azelia audio, and Hybrid SLI. What lacks in the nForce 750a is the ability to run Tri-SLI due to the lack of nForce 200 chipset and the ESA support. Because nForce 750a chipset does not have nForce 200 chip, it is only able to run SLI in two x8 channel. Other than that, both chipsets are using the same chip for the integrated graphics and Hybrid SLI support.
