It's mildly hard to believe that
AMD's DirectX 10-compatible
780 Series motherboard GPU was introduced well over a year ago now, but the long awaited successor has finally landed. This fine morning, a gaggle of hardware sites around the web have taken a look at a number of AMD
785G-equipped mainboards, all of which boast integrated
Radeon HD 4200 GPUs, support for AMD's AM3 processors and a price point that's downright delectable (most boards are sub-$100). Without getting into too much detail here in this space, the general consensus seems to be that the new platform is definitely appreciated, but hardly revolutionary. It fails to destroy marks set by the 780G, and it couldn't easily put NVIDIA's
GeForce 9300 to shame. What it
can do, however, is provide better-than-average HD playback, making it a prime candidate for basic desktop users and even
HTPC builders. For the full gamut of opinions, grab your favorite cup of joe and get to clickin' below.
