PURE Hybrid CrossFire 780G Innovation MB

There are few true revolutions in the PC industry. At the heart of the Sapphire PURE Hybrid CrossFire 780G (PI-AM2RS780G) lies AMD’s revolutionary 780G+SB700 chipset. With the AMD 780G IGP chipset, all the barriers have been broken. This is the first AMD chipset to integrate a powerful DirectX®10 graphics core powered by ATI Radeon™ HD3200 graphics. It’s the first AMD chipset that enables everyday computer users to play the latest games with no additional discrete graphics card, the first mainstream motherboard that delivers a total high definition cinematic experience…… and it does all of this consuming a lot less power then you’d think.

    Golden Bear Award

    The Sapphire 780G motherboard was a unexpected surprize. Which addresses another selling point, price. This board is unparalled in price with it only costing a mere $54 USD. With that $54 you get a board that overclocks very well, and supports the latest AMD processors. This support includes the brand new Phenom II 940 and 920. If you paired a Phenom II 940 with a 4870 X2 you would have a top of the line gameing machine. The Sapphire 780G motherboard is truely a hybrid of top end board and low range budget board.

    When paired with a discrete video card, the Sapphire motherboard's IGP in Hybrid CrossFire mode definitely boosts graphics performance, which makes it an ideal candidate for an HTPC or a family computer that will sometimes be used for casual gaming at low resolutions. The debug LED is a nice touch - especially for people who constantly change hardware - because you will not have to guess what the problem is if you have any troubles. Another great feature of the Sapphire mainboard is the POST screen; being an enthusiast, I love being able to check system temps, voltages, and fan speeds on startup.

    Golden Award

    The great feature found on this motherboard is a POST diagnostics display, which allows you to know thru a two-digit code what is wrong if your computer doesn’t turn on. This feature is usually found only on high-end motherboards. AMD 780G currently is the best chipset with on-board video for the AMD platform. If you are willing to buy an entry-level PC based on an AMD CPU with integrated graphics, AMD 780G is your best option and Sapphire PI-AM2RS780G is a great option and that is why we are recommending this motherboard.
