Says alot about the price inflation of good motherboards when I though £82 was cheap for a good motherboard.

with all those video out options, doesn't make sense you can only use one at a time...

if you buy Gigabyte GA-A75M-UD2H about 85 $ i think you can.

Wait. How does the FM1 platform cope when you force One and a half Volts through it?! I know most processors just kinda burn and fail at that level.

The Vid of our test chip is 1.4V, so putting 1.5V through it isn't unreasonable.

Nice performance figures from a spot of overclocking - 20% performance boost is quite respectable for such a budget system. :D

Meesa like it :D

Geforce 590 and 40-ish fps in the source-engine and black ops' same age engine? Did I miss something?

Nope, we did; tests are done using the on-board GPU of the A8-3850.

No, you spotted a mistake in the review.

We don't test FM1 boards with the GTX 590, but the on-board graphics.

As such, we're removed the mention of the GTX 590 from this review (it was a carry over from other motherboard reviews, which are tested with a GTX 590).

So is the multi-tasking test using Media Player Classic HC, or mplayer? Bit of a difference between the two.
