As expected, the 790GX dominates 3D Mark Vantage using integrated graphics. The side-port memory-equipped 780G claims a second-place finish, but just barely.
The real upset occurs when you slide a GeForce 8500 GT into the Nvidia board, boosting performance from 1905 3DMarks to 4879. Of course, the race remains close, with AMD’s 790GX scoring 4721 3DMarks aided by Sapphire’s Radeon HD 3470 add-in card.
No surprise here. AMD dominates Half Life 2, delivering playable frame rates at 1024x768 using only integrated graphics. Under the influence of Hybrid CrossFireX, you’re set to either step things up to 1280x1024 or start turning on more of the game’s visual details at 1024x768. The 780G picks up a second-place finish. And although GeForce Boost serves the GeForce 8300 platform well, it’s not enough to catch Nvidia up in this one.
World in Conflict initially favors the 790GX’s 700 MHz GPU, followed by the 500 MHz 780G and then the GeForce 8300. But installing a GeForce 8500 GT catapults the 8300-based Asus board into the lead. Gigabyte’s 790GX follows, with the 780G motherboard just behind — both platforms armed with Sapphire Radeon HD 3470 cards.
Here’s an easy one. Even at 1024x768, all three of our integrated platforms offered enough graphics performance to keep Flight Simulator X pegged at its vsync cap.

well done, yet another screwed up article
Toms has become a pathetic shambles
i agree, this site is rubbish since the takeover.
all the news is linked from other sources, double posts of articles on the front page, and articles not fully hosted.
Seriously, whoever runs this site needs to sort themselves out.
I would be fired if i allowed our website to get in this sort of mess.
I know, and I pay so much for this site as well...
I've been saying this for months now, and had most of my comments removed.
Why is this article posted twice on the front page, at two different times?
Why does the "northbridge table" on page 2 have no headder row? Which chipset is which?
Tom's Hardware used to be utterly superb, the only place I wanted to read my hardware news. Now I'm lucky if its written in coherent English, let alone factually correct and well presented!
In short, THG fails... hard.
LOL this article sucks more than paris hilton.......
Umm, where is the rest of the article?
THG has fallen more than I ever thought possible! Guess I'll bugger off back to Hexus....
yeah it's quite disappointing to see Toms go downhill like this
I thought this was an interesting article. I have complained about some of the others in recent past.... for example the nonsense one about Paint Shop's little brother.
But, it was easy to figure out which column related to which chipset, but when you make a stupid mistake like that it would be nice to go back and fix it.
I do not think the site is better nor worse since the take-over. It was never perfect. I think it is fine. It remains in my bookmarks. If you don't like it now, hang out at Anand's, hardocp, arstechnica, or overclockers.com or one of the many other decent places.
I agree.
lol i agree with most of you
, anyways , can someone tell me why vga charts aint been updated for 10 years lol? (a bit of exagerations if you didnt notice ) but where are the Geforce 9 series , guru3d has em why not toms?
