This solution will be faster than the IGP Intel's Clarkdale processors for example, have embedded.
The embedded DX10.1 IGP (RV620) still packs 40 shader processors with a core and shader clock at 560 MHz. It's powerful enough for the low-level stuff, but for anything a little more serious you'll of course need a dedicated graphics card. Games wise, a simple game or two could be played fairly okay in lower resolutions. ASUS arms the IGP with an optional 128MB cache partition called sideport to give it a little more breathing space. It's based off the Radeon HD 4200 silicon, the Radeon HD 4250 to be precise, which is slightly slower clocked than the 890GX. Much like the 785 chipset the 880G has a GPU tucked nicely away into the die. The G series (opposed to FX) extensions however also means that there's an IGP embedded into this ASIC. Below you can find a little chart showing the difference without hogging up a full page with explanations.Īs stated this chipset also includes native support for SATA 6Gb/s for aggressive RAID and SSD configurations and most motherboards are expected to include USB 3.0 support, employing the chipsets dedicated PCI express link and leading discrete USB 3.0 solutions. The 890GX and FX chipsets, the 870 and the 880G chipset.
So there's no real crossfire support to be found here, unless you sincerely limit bandwidth.ĪMD now has a pretty extensive lineup of series 800 motherboards ready. But install one and it can utilize x16 PCIe lanes, install two and it will split into a X16 and a x4. The chipset allows you to utilize two full x16 graphics cards. The 880G has sufficient PCIe links available for your dedicated graphics (or other add-in cards), but is trimmed down though. It is the primary chip responsible for these functions, the FX (opposed to G) extension however indicates that there is no IGP embedded into this ASIC which the G and GX versions do have. The Northbridge chip primarily functions as a control HUB for your processor, memory and PCIe links towards your graphics chipset. Together they form the infrastructure for all standard devices, connectivity and interconnect bandwidth. The Northbridge chip, which is called the 880G and the paired (Southbridge chip) SB850. The AMD 800 series chipset consists out of two chips that are added onto the motherboard PCB. So to understand this chipset from AMD, aimed at the more budget conscience PC user, all we simply need to do is tell you a thing or two about its features.
