MSI has built a stellar motherboard with the DKA790GX Platinum board. The board has all of the features that you would want from a 790GX motherboard including HD 3300 graphics with CrossfireX capability, ACC overclocking and more. From a performance point of view, the DKA790GX has nearly the same performance as the other 790GX board that I tested, meaning that it is pretty high on the totem pole. It did work better in Hybrid CrossFire than our previous 790GX boards and that is a very good thing.
The 790GX integrated graphics are the best on the market in terms of performance and features and this is a great example of the total package MSI has put together in this motherboard. The Advanced Calibration Control that the 790GX supports allows for higher overclocking than the 790FX chipset, meaning that this board is a good choice for those wanting the best out of their system. Integrated graphics are a bit of a joke for most enthusiasts but those that want to build a HTPC or save money now to buy a discrete card later will love the HD 3300 on this board. As far as the 790GX series of motherboards goes, the MSI board is a Hot Product for this category of motherboards as it excels above its peers in a few small but relevant areas.
