Integrated graphics on the AMD 785G will perform maybe a little better than a 780G chipset as the specifications of the two integrated graphics chips are nearly identical with the 785G having UVD 2 and DirectX 10.1. It is unlikely that we will see a noticeable performance increase between two motherboards using the same setup and that has been borne out by testing.
