Wbmw: 790GX graphics with Sideport here with 4850e A64X2 for $176.99: newegg.com That means that 790GX over 780G is just $15 more. Not that much for the 35% IGP performance increase. And it can do Crysis at 800x600 at playable frame rates, >30FPS. techreport.com Here Crysis is playable at 1024x768 at greater than 30FPS: amdzone.com And more games: amdzone.com Notice that as games demand higher GPU performance, the 790GX just blows away G45. And hybrid crossfire works with a $33 Radeon 3450 card for an added boost in those titles that make use of it. Although the Radeon 3470 is a better match for the 790GX IGP. Most 3450s can overclock to what the 790GX runs at (700MHz) though. Pete
