AMD's 780G integrated graphics chipset

What about the Asrock A780FullDisplayPort, does it support both DVI and HDMI via the 'FullDisplayPort'? Or what does that thing do anyway?

To answer my own question: NOT POSSIBLE.

I'm kinda giving up on this 780G. It seems so limited for my needs. If you need two displays it's a must for them te be one analog and one digital. No other way around.
Plus the fact that it heats up like crazy doesn't help either.

So, what are the alternatives? Nvidia 780i?

heats up? It's like, 5W!?

But yea, one must be analouge - you can't run two digital no matter what they are. Intel doesn't even offer a single digital with an external TDMS. No IGP supports two digital outputs, you'll have to buy a discrete card.

I keep reading complaints about the northbridge being extremely hot on this Gigabyte and also on other 780G MBs. Gigabyte added a new heatsink in the 1.1 revision, tho, let's see how it performs.

And BTW, it's also impossible to run 2 analogue outputs, since the DVI connection is DVI-D.

Doesn't the 690G support 2 digital outs at a time? ISTR it being one of the big selling points

Thought I'd drag this up from the past, should probably start a new post, Hmm dunno, anyway I have finally moved to this chipset from a 690G bought the hardware not long after the review but it took a while for notebook BD drives to come down to a level I was willing to pay, and even then it was months before I could be arsed my HTPC resides in a Silverstone LC19 and I like it, didn't want a bigger case just because of the BDROM.

Anyway back to the point of my post, in this article it says there are options in PowerDVD and Catalyst control centre to improve quality but I can't see them, whilst using the hardware acceleration it appears most options are greyed out for quality improvements in PDVD, where should I be looking to tweak? I am not too familiar with ATIs CCC either what do you tweak for quality in there?

Playback of my Bluray discs is very good on the HTPC but the IQ is quite noisy compared to my PS3, I'd like to tweak it too get a closer match but not sure how, any tips?

very nice
