Chipset AMD 790 vs 780

**Vincenzo** · 12-03-2009

My question is regarding the 790 and 780 chipsets for AMD, if they both have HT 3.0 and PCI 2.0, what advantages for the 790 worth buying a board that is equipped with it in front of a 780?
Thank you all.

Basically that the ACC and 790 and is supposed to mount the SB700 or 750. In addition to the integrated graphic, HD3200 is 780 and the 790 is a 3300.

780G and SB700 mounted always with integrated graphics ATI Radeon HD3200

While the 790 plates and as models of the same old, you can mount the SB600 or SB750. So ...

The 790GX and SB750 that incorporates always integrated graphics ATI Radeon HD3300

The 790X features that SB600 and SB750 in the former at the latest.

Like the 790FX ... SB600 and SB750 are the ancient past.

Finally you have also the 770, something similar happens to the 790X and 790FX, SB600 incorporates the oldest plates in SB700, and more current.

The problem comes when we look at the specifics of the board in the Web store, where this is not specified, or so you look at the websites of the mark in the specifications of the motherboard.

Overall prefer the SB700 and SB750 to SB600 old (that perfectly) 750 as seems to be the best for OC.

as if the difference comes from the integrated graphics chipset and the south, between the two models and 790xds4 gigabyte 780g ds3h would be better because the latter, whether they have integrated video, while 780 is the 700 and 790 which explains the fact that only cost 8 euros. So therefore only worth a 790 also had the 700 or 750 right?

It seems that what these plates is depreciating bearing the SB600, SB700 and the most modern on the SB750 makes them more expensive.

The GA-MA790X-DS4 is depreciated because as commented before, you have a newer version with 790X + SB750, the GA-MA790X-UD4.

The SB600 is fine, as you can see my plate also bears, but the SB700 and SB750 with the whole theme of the ACC are better. The ACC is very good to get a good OC in the first Phenom.
