Mumbai, May 2, 2008
Gigabyte, a manufacturer of motherboards (MB) and graphics cards, has extended its line up of AMD 780G based motherboards to include the new ATX form factor. The new motherboard, Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H, features the first DirectX 10 IGP (Integrated Graphics Processor) solution for the AM2+ platform.
Based on the AMD 780G chipset, the GA-MA78G-DS3H offers support for AM2 Athlon processors as well as the latest AM2+ Phenom processors with ultra-low latency, high bandwidth Hyper Transport 3.0 (5200MT/s) technology.
At the heart of the MB lies the ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics core, featuring support for DirectX 10, Shader Model 4.0 and OpenGL2.0. The new MB is able to boost the GPU frequency up to 950 MHz, delivering UMA graphics performance with a 3DMARK06 score of 2000 or higher, the company claimed.
The AMD 780G meets the HDCP specification for output protection management and security specifications of the latest Blu-Ray media format. Featuring support for ATI UVD (Universal Video Decoder) technology and ATI Avivo technology, the MB provides picture clarity at resolution up to Full HD 1080P for fine image quality and smooth playback. High-Definition multimedia support is carried throughout the Radeon HD 3200 outputs, which include not only D-Sub and DVI, but also HDMI to support numerous monitors.
The GA-MA78G-DS3H also provides an additional PCI-E 2.0 x16 graphics interface and a PCI-E2.0 x4 expansion slot to support the ATI Hybrid Graphics technology, allowing users to combine the power of their integrated ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics core by adding an additional discrete graphics card, for enhanced 3D gaming performance, productivity and power efficiency.
ATI SurroundVIew provides support for 4 or more monitors with the addition of a discrete graphics card, allowing users to maximize their productivity while ATI PowerPlay enables power-saving profiles to help reduce power consumption when the graphics processor is idle or in minimal use for reduced system temperatures and fan noise.
The motherboard is equipped with the built-in high-definition 7.1 + 2 channel Realtek ALC889A audio chip, whose 106dB signal-to-noise ratio reduces noise during signal transmission.
The GA-MA78G-DS3H also features a solid capacitor design for the CPU VRM, providing system stability and reliability.
