ECS AMD690GM-M2 AMD 690G Motherboard Review
ECS AMD690GM-M2 AMD 690G Motherboard Review - PCSTATS
Like you, there is nothing we like better than a super affordable platform that gives you almost everything under the sun!! With the acquisition of ATi, the 690G chipset came to life as one of the finest chipsets for a home theatre platform thus far.

3DMark06 puts the new nVIDIA GeForce 7050 and the AMD 690G within striking distance of one another. When a PCI Express GeForce 8800GTS 320MB videocard is installed into the system, all platforms perform very well. The difference between onboard video and a standalone videocard is significant... but only with respect to gaming. Desktop applications work just fine with integrated video for the most part.
