Preview: Gigabyte H67MA-UD2H Motherboard

[nucleus]

We take a quick look at the Gigabyte H67MA-UD2H Motherboard. It's one of the first motherboards to feature the Intel H67 chipet, designed for the new Intel "Sandy Bridge" LGA 1155 CPUs from Intel. It's primarily aimed at the mainstream and HTPC market, and comes with FULL Dolby Theatre, HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, with 2 x PCIe slots and Crossfire support. But that's not all ... it also has USB3.0, eSATA, SPDIF optical, SATA RAID, Gigabit ethernet and of course, ALL of Gigabyte's innovative great features.

I'll be very interested to see how the onboard graphics perform, so please test them when NDA drops!
A lot of sites skip over that as low end GPUs are so cheap these days.

yup, I agree. Also would love to see how overclockable those IGPs are.

The onboard GPU is usually pants. So I would recommend using a separate graphics card.

Geforce probably

I'm hoping they've improved it, they made a huge jump in performance from the IGP on 775 boards to the IGP on Core i3/i5 CPUs used in H55 boards.  If they made that same jump again (admittedly, I highly doubt they did) it might actually be worthwhile now.

The trick, really, is to play old games

^I saw some slides from last year and it shows benchmarks on World of Warcraft. lol

I guess it has a big enough fanbase who think the IGP is good enough for gaming.
