Z68 offers Integrated graphics support with the use of Quicksync for video transcoding and SSD Caching. Otherwise, its the same as P67 unless EVGA makes some tweaks.

I gonna use 3-way sli of 275 and a new Corsair Force GT 120 so no care of integrated graphic unit and SRT.
But Evga always pimp their mobo, so maybe thios one have something more than juste Z68 vs p67.

but wait isn't z68 and p67 = LGA 1155
and
x79 = LGA 2011
since this board is a z68 it should be compatible with sandy bridge am i wrong ???

You are correct in that P67 and Z68 are for socket 1155 and that X79 will be on socket 2011. However, it looks like some type of server boards are being released for socket 2011 sometime this year and that the x79 platform will come later.

Will it be bester than P67 FTW excepting HD2000/3000 support and SRT? Because I don't care of this two points and I'm gonna order my P67 FTW KR (or K2 if available) next week.

Does anyone know if EVGA is allowing you to to use the Step Up Program from a P67 FTW to a Z68 Classy?? I really doubt it, but I thought I would throw it out there anyways...

If I buy the extended warranty for which board? The Z68 or my current P67 FTW? So you are saying since I had to RMA my first P67 FTW (vcore issue) and was given the 10 year warranty extended warranty I will not be able to? Or is it possible to buy it after I registered my gpu originally, probably not but wont hurt to ask...

A picture of a screenshot that could have been photoshopped doesn't strike me as worth more than a rumor, however EVGA_MatthewH's response makes it convincing. It would be nice if EVGA attacked the monopoly that Gigabyte has with miniSATA cards, none of the other Z68's have that ability. Maybe just go the extra mile, stitch in a Sandforce controller and 32GB flash directly on the board...just a thought, probably too late if the branding it being prepared... jackbauer2030
but wait isn't z68 and p67 = LGA 1155
and
x79 = LGA 2011
since this board is a z68 it should be compatible with sandy bridge am i wrong ??? They are both Sandy Bridge, one for the mainstream consumer socket and one for high-end desktop. Ivy Bridge variants will come for both too, they are scheduled differently. Note: LGA2011 wasn't created just for high-end users, one variant is ported to them.

you need to buy it on the p67 if you want to have the 90day step up option, even though they gave you the 10years free. If you want step-up you must buy the warranty. Go to your products and expand the one for the board and it will let you buy the warranty even if you have the free 10yr. but remember you only have 30 days to buy it.

Hope so, too cause I don't want to buy the P67 FTW now and Step-up later to the Z68 FTW. I hope that we don't have to wait to long. Are there any news @Jacob or Matthew?

You will be able to step-up P67->Z68, however you need to purchase the extended warranty - even if you got the free extended warranty - to be eligible for step-up. It must also be within 90 days of purchase.

Thanks for the clarification... I'll have to see some scores with it before I decide to sell my P67 FTW... I am really liking that board, just getting it broken in as well...

i wonder what the price range and feature set will be. i hope its close to the p67 sli i have been set on getting a i series processor and getting rid of my e2180 for a while now. but evga has not had a board that has competitive features compared to other brands so i have held off on making the upgrade to a i series processor., and money problems but who does not have that problem.

Jacob,
Will the Z68 boards have the new features you listed for the X79 boards, such as the revised layout, new button placement, pure flat caps? Or do they follow the P67 boards' design? Thank you.
