Re: Sounds like an endorsement that could work equally well for Intel's integrated graphics.

Not exactly. The Intel G45 graphics performance would still be roughly 30% slower than the 790GX on average.

I tried the Lock On and Live For Speed demos on my new Foxconn 780G/X2 5000+ system last night. Both had adequate performance at 1280x1024. A decrease in frame rate would likely make both noticeably less enjoyable to watch.

The graphics performance of the 780G and 790GX is a good fit for someone like Vattila who will use it for casual gaming or playing games which are several years old. The 790GX price is a bit high, but that will fall a bit as more boards hit the market.
