Hi this thread is for people thinking about getting a 790GX series chipset from AMD to use as a temporary GPU. I will be doing benchmarks of some games. At the moment, I will just be judging the average FPS by eye, so take them with a grain of salt.
Stock GPU settings: Left 4 Dead - Everything low 1440x900 29-31fps Counter-Strike Source - Everything maxed, including AA. 1440x900 40fps* Team Fortress 2 - Will be doing tomorrow after it updates Half Life 2 - Will be doing tomorrow after it updates Portal - Everything maxed, No AA 1440x900 30-50fps Fallout 3 - Everything low 1440x900 25-30fps outside 40fps indoors Overclocked GPU settings: Left 4 Dead - Later tonight or tomorrow Counter-Strike Source - Everything maxed, including AA. 1440x900 45fps* Team Fortress 2 - Later tonight or tomorrow Half Life 2 - Later tonight or tomorrow Portal - Later tonight or tomorrow Fallout 3 - Later tonight or tomorrow I will be posting more benchmarks over time, so keep watching ![]() I also don't have a lot of games. I've been selling the ones I don't use. I mainly have Steam games, and Fallout 3 right now. * Counter Strike Source plays beautifully with all settings maxed, with little AA. The test I did used max AA and AF, which bogged down the game. Play with little AA + AF, and it was like playing with my 4850. No AA + AF gave me around 100fps

What do you mean get it to work? I'm not even really sure what it is actually...

What is a good overclock for the HD3300 that won't require extra cooling? I can bump the volts a tad if needed, just need some opinions

I mean there is 128MB of GDDR3 memory build in the MB which for some reason does not work for me. Only system memory works.

Do you have to do anything for SidePort to work? I would assume it is always active?

Yes in Bios there are 4 option. One is to disable IGP, one is to use UMA(system memory) onr is UMA+Sideport and the last option is just Sideport. When i chose sideport i get black screen just before windows loads. With just UMA it works fine but it uses slow system memory.

Yeah that worked for me too but not sideport alone. Can you try just sideport and what bios version do you have . I want to know if the new version still supports ACC.
