Though ECS has no presence on CeBIT they did announce a couple of things on-line. Among them, to much surprise, the first AMD 880G chipset based motherboards. The board comes with a pair of beefy chipset and MOSFET coolers, being an AM3 board supporting DDR3-1333 memory instead of DDR2/AM2/AM2+.

AMD 880G chipset will form part of the AMD Live! "Pisces" platform.AMD 880G will feature a integrated Radeon HD 3450 (RV620) DX10.1 graphics core, DDR3 support, HyperTransport 3.0, Universal Video Decoder 2 (UVD 2), Hybrid Crossfire with a discrete Radeon HD 3450 graphics core through a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot, Display Port/HDMI/DVI/SurroundView support. AMD 880G will be paired up with SB710 Southbridge offering 12 USB ports and 6 SATA ports.

AMD is also touting much on their new OverDrive 3.0 that support AM3 platforms featuring Smart Control that boost clocks on demand, Application Specific Profiles that optimise system settings upon application detection and Hardware Monitoring support with fan control.

holy crap ECS has turned a new leaf! ... Again.

Impressive.
I've always liked the color-scheme of their boards. Must be the black pcb and red pci slots.

i dunno, but the only problem that i have against ecs is their crappy bios.

otherwise it would have been in the same line as msi at least.

The last round of ECS boards were horrible. (790GX, 770, P45, X48)

On the 790GX the FSB could be changed in increments of 5... lol.

This looks more on track of what they were producing in the early AM2 days (cough KA3 cough).

yep that explains the issue with my 690G its OC's better than the 780G..i hope ECS learns its mistakes again..

I don't know how to use this chipset. I need ATI's ruby to demonstrate for me.

That will raise the costs too high. The point of the integrated graphics is to play HD movies, not to game. Its a nice feature but not the main purpose of the chip.

i know, but at least make it to your current generation of graphics cards, the 780g was the hd 3200, plus the 4 series has 7.1 channel audio through hdmi instead of 5.1. plus, encoding video using ati's avivo will be faster. meh, not a big leap unless they have an hd 4200 with hybrid crossfire compatibility with the rv 7xx series.

It looks good, I just hope ECS does not ruin it with crappy bois and such.

i wish they'd make it capable of hybrid crossfiring with my 4830
