Our video encoding benchmarks show the 975X chipset with a slight lead over the nForce 590 SLI chipset, though we are testing using an older reference board here for NVIDIA.  We’ll have updated numbers from them soon.  For the Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard though, this is a good performance showing.
