Thread: ECS Motherboard GF9300T-A

The integrated VGA chipsets are almost essential products, either to save money on certain types of equipment to transfer them to portable devices. We've seen solutions with Intel G45 and now have the opportunity to test the latest incarnation of NVIDIA, the GF9300 what promises to be a motherboard for the latest processors with a decent graphics power.

The power of integrated graphics chip sets are always open to doubt as it should be used sparingly, being cheap and then ask them more than they can bear, especially when it comes to power 3D games, but it is clear the world of PCs is not all play, so you have to see what different manufacturers offer.

The ECS board that has sent us is not ultra high-end and that only in the specifications to see some limits on what is referred to latest technology: it supports everything new, but does not support or higher at 1333 MHz FSB and DDR2 than DDR2-800, but if someone is to blame is not ECS, NVIDIA but since these are the official boundaries of the new chip set.

However, it lacks support for existing technologies such as 45nm processors, PCI Express 2.0, IGP with DX10 support and connection with support for 1080p HDMI, Pure Video HD, Hybrid Boost or SLI, etc .

The solution proposed for this motherboard NVIDIA, the Ge-force 9300 chip set is a single chip, thus saving costs and space on the motherboard, but in this case and an ATX case of space is not an issue, but own cost. Thus, within the same package are the North bridge 9300 with integrated VGA and the n Force 730i South bridge.
