MSI has developed a great motherboard with the DKA790GX Platinum board. The board has all the features that you would like from a 790GX motherboard including HD 3300 graphics with CrossfireX capability, ACC overclocking and many more. From performance point, the DKA790GX has the similar performance as the other 790GX board that are tested in the market, means that it is very high on the market pole. It works better in Hybrid CrossFire than the previous version 790GX boards which is a very good thing.

The 790GX integrated graphics are the great on the market from performance and features point of view and this a great example of the total package MSI put together for this motherboard. The Advanced Calibration Control which 790GX supports allows you for higher overclocking than the 790FX chipset, means that this board is a better choice for people wanting the best results of their system. Integrated graphics are a bit off for most enthusiasts but those who want to build a HTPC or save money now to buy a discrete card later will love the HD 3300 present on this board. As far as the 790GX series of motherboards goes, the MSI board is a Product to buy for this category of motherboards as it excels above its competitors in a few but relevant areas.
