AMD RS780 is 261% Faster Than AMD 690G in 3DMark06

[Monkeywoman]

Today, AMD announces the AMD RS780 chipset in China. We have got hold of a unit and doing a review of it. At the mean time, we have discovered amazing benchmark results.

Using an AMD ATHLONX2 5000+, 2GB DDR2-800 Corsair memory. We test run 3Dmark05, 3Dmark06 and FEAR under VISTA Ultimate using the integrated graphics on a 690G board and RS780 board.

Here are the results :

3DMARK05 @690G=1105, @RS780=2495
Vista Experience Index @690G=3.1, @RS780=3.5
FEAR DEMO @690=15FPS, @RS780=29FPS
3DMARK 06 @690G : score=321, SM2:147, HDR/SM3=0, CPU score = 1860
3DMARK 06 @RS780: Score=1162, SM2:380, HDR/SM3=441, CPU score 1869

In terms of 3D graphics performance, AMD RS780 is 2x faster than AMD 690G. In 3Dmark06, the difference is shocking, 1162 vs 321. That is 3.6X difference.


thats faster than a 7300GT!!! lol

... pffff


that's only benchmarking .....

and the IGP are not here for gaming :/

[Monkeywoman]

you can use it with xfire. i.e. 3870x2 for video and the IGP for physics. the RS780 is a lot more powerful than the PPU from Agiea. 10 more FPS?

[Shintai]

Thats a pretty bad test. Remove 3Dmark06 since one cant do Sm3.0....

Else it looks nice I guess. About 2x performance. But I think thats quite the norm.

Come again? IGP for physics?

[Mean Machine]

Pretty cool, actually. That with Hybrid Crossfire just might make some use for those IGP:s, if not, it'd still make a decent HTPC.

yah man. Hybird Xfire. u can use any combination of ATI cards together. the drivers will channel the physics to the weaker card. i.e. 3870x2 with 3870, x2 for video and 3870 for physics.....from what i understand

[DeathReborn]

I want to know if this is the 64MB (32bit) onboard "high end IGP" or the vanilla version?

Thanks to Intel that's not gonna happen. When they bought Havok they canned the GPU physics SDK that both nVidia & AMD needed.

Lots of game tests.

not bad at all for an IGP. This nothing fantastic, but good to know things are progressing nicely.

[MaxxxRacer]

very cool. finaly an IGP that has its OWN ram. So long as the SB had both DVI and VGA or a DVI port with the VGA channels (as most do) this would be a great chipset to build low end machines from.

HDMI & DVI by the looks of that motherboard in the review. SB700 is another boon for it.

[v_rr]

Its DX_10.1/SM4.1, DVI/HDMI, PCI-E 2.0, UVD in the IGP, Hybrid Crossfire, SB700 and 64mb of 2.0ns ram conectd to the IGP.

Far away the best IGP board ever made.
And they also support Hyperflash that is the same that Intel uses in Santa Rosa - the Intel robson 512mb/1gb.
The hyperflash module will be used in te mobile version of RS780.

If you switch that 64mb 2.0ns for a 128mb chip you will get awsome performance for a stupid low price. You will get exact same performance as HD 3400 if they put there 128mb chip.
Another motherboard makers can put the ram chip that they want.

This RS780 can have multiple choices: SB600/SB700; Integrate ram into the board or not; Hyperflash or not;
There will be lots of versions.

I think its an feature that switches your discrete card, when its idle, to the onboard one, on the fly. It turns your VGA(s) off, to save power, since the integrated one has very low power consumption.

I dont know about combining them or using the onboard one for physics.

Which means notebooks with powerful graphics, but battery life like it isn't even there (non-3D). Very cool

They just need to get a chipset into a notebook to start.

[Ugly n Grey]

Damn, this chip is going to make a kick ass HTPC and hybrid crossfire is pushing down the cost of low end gaming... take that Nvidia..I love competition. When there is some.

[The Coolest]

It should also be noted that the RS780 is supposed to have UVD, so you may want to include it in your test.
HDDVD and BlueRay Playback.

Wow... oem gone a love this chipset

Can they even hook ddr2 or ddr4 to the RS780?

[dinos22]

this is great news for HTPC as long as it can properly decode HD codecs heh

[Zytek_Fan]

Hmmm...maybe I can finally convince my parents to get an HTPC

[purefun65]

Nice work amd!

RS780 GPU-Z spec:

[cirthix]

impressive for integrated video. great for laptops

[Gambit_2K]

Im gonna wait with buying a laptop until this chipset is out with the new turions. I think we are going to se very nice batterytime together with price and performance. AMD hurry up! Anyone seen any rodmaps for the laptopmarket?

[Frank M]

At last!
