The on-board video wasn't sufficient for the 'high performance' 3Dmark benchmarks to run, which is why these IGP motherboards all score "0". The discrete graphics scores put the ECS A780GM-A somewhere in the middle.

The integrated Radeon HD 3200 video of the ECS A780GM-A motherboard posts better scores than the nVidia or Intel offerings, although it's still substantially slower than its big brother, the Radeon HD 3300 IGP found in AMD's 790GX core logic.
