- Trade Shows
AMD and NVIDIA both show off Hybrid Multi-GPU Chipsets
AMD finally released its 780G chipset with support for Hybrid CrossFire. Although NVIDIA's competitor, the GeForce 8200, is yet to be released it was all over the show.
abit's GeForce 8200 based A-N78HD motherboard.
ASRock's AMD 780G based motherboard
Not all AMD 780G boards have HDMI on board; in this case you have to use AMD's DVI-to-HDMI adapter
The ASRock 780G supports DisplayPort using an external card
Biostar's GeForce 8200 motherboard running in Hybrid SLI mode. The chipset's integrated GPU and the external graphics card work together to offer increased performance.
Foxconn's AMD 780G motherboard
Foxconn's GeForce 8200 motherboard
Foxconn even had an AMD 770 based motherboard on display; this chipset is not yet launched.
Performance gains from Hybrid SLI; they are impressive but still not for the hardcore gamer
Sapphire also had an AMD 770 motherboard on display
As well as a 780G motherboard

I am curious if Intel is going to have any more DDR2 solutions on the horizon. To be perfeclty honest, I have not been impressed with ddr3 yet. Higher latancy for higher speeds plus extravagant costs.If the price stays similiar or only fluxuates a little in the ddr3 catagory I can see alot of people sticking to ddr2 (provided it remains at such low costs)
Now ... if they could get ddr3 running at cas 2-2-2 hmm... yes Im pretty sure that would turn some heads. Anyway If Intel stick to a exclusive move to ddr3 based systems only I can't see myself jumping on that bandwagon anytime soon.

Wah, I want to go.As for these "hybrid" SLI's, with a performance increase like that on page 2 we should see 8800GTX's with a hefty 1-2% increase in performance with that bad boy :wink wink:. Well stated as not for the [hardcore] gamer.

I would like to point out that the X300 has been available for purchase from lenovo since last Wednesday (2/27). Still a bit too much $$$ for me though :(crimson117 - Tuesday, March 4, 2008 - link
