With the integrated graphics on the motherboard I debated on whether to test them on this motherboard. Due to the fact that the integrated graphics are a “freebie”, I decided not to run integrated tests. The board is based upon the nForce 750 chipset and not quite meant to compete against the AMD 790FX platform but it performed pretty well, beating the other boards on our new AMD platform in a few tests and coming in a close second in others.
