Not for gaming but HD video is a possibility. These better be cheap. :laugh:

also very true! lol
Again, Intel fails at pricing.
G35 130$ OMG http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131237
780G 95$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131273
I took my HD 3450 out of my HTPC and it still runs like a charm with the HD 3200 onboard and plays HD movies on a 56'' screen blazing fast.

by: ShadowFold;748783Well, they are probably exploiting the popularity of Intel CPUs, so even if you like AMD mobo, you can't get it without getting AMD CPU and I don't need to tell you about them :laugh:

When the primary usage of these IGP's is to run HD videos and general usage with entertainment thrown in, I don't understand why Intel should use "DirectX 10 ready" as a USP when I can't use this to play a DirectX 10 game such as Crysis or Lost Planet even at the lowest settings.

Yea my HD 3450 has problems running running Crysis at low with a 3.2ghz E2200 @ 1440x900 so I doubt a Intel onboard could even run it low on 1024x768 :rolleyes:
Sort of like when the 82915G came out and Intel announced it could process Shader Model 2.0, I was like wow, Doom 3 on an IGP....I was wrong. With a Prescott 3.20 GHz, I was watching a dull jagged slide-show designed by Carmack.
Kind of sounds like the Vista Ready fiasco/aka lawsuit. DX10 on an igp could surly mislead an uneducated buyer.

Because your CPU is doing the work.... :laugh:
Seriously it is. Unless your are using a special configuration to utilize your GPU.;)
Avivo, Powerdvd with Purevideo HD support etc.
So where is nvidia's version?
by: EastCoasthandle;748903"Come on out kids! take a look at Daddy's new motherboard with NVidia DX10 graphics!"
So where is nvidia's version?
*opens the box*
"Huh!? why did it bundle two tubes, clamps and why does the motherboard have two holes in the middle?" :confused:
My previous experience with an Asus mobo with IGP (ATI Radeon 9100) wasn't great. I mean it was ok to watch films and use 2D in WinXP. However, as soon as I started to play games, the thing was useless. So I pretty much stopped playing PC games and focused on Xbox / Playstation. Upgrading to a powerful (and power hungry...) standalone card wasn't an option (due to insufficient custom made micro-ATX psu, impossible to upgrade).
IGP is a gimmick if you're into gaming, unless these new ones offer true performance, which I doubt. The only good thing I can think of is if you have to RMA your graphics card, you can just about survive on your IGP in the meantime, for your basic needs. But then again, a cheap DX10 card (e.g. geforce 8400GS for $30) will probably do a better job.

I have the p5e-vm hdmi in my lanbox and it is a great board. The bios very close to the Maximus Formula board as far as options, great overclocking board. Also has 6 sata ports and all solid caps, great for a micro-atx board.
Pretty sweet. I like seeing a variety with the IGPs that offer DX10 and HDMI output.
Jokes apart, NVidia's offering is the GeForce 8200 chipset.

i dont have a 1080p screen, but the intel onboard in my mini rig managed 720p content just fine :P
AMD do have a winner with the 780g, but it dont mean these are useless for movies.
