I am thinking about picking up a BIOSTAR TForce TA790GX mobo, along with a HD3450 or 70 if I can find one. How much of a performance boost will there be? I heard that this Hybrid graphic technology can make it act like a 3870, which would be very nice for an extra $20-30 on a vid card. But before I invest in this I was wondering if anyone else has tried it? I was also wondering if this would possibly effect overclocking (other then a hotter northbridge possibly preventing me from tweaking some fun numbers).

Thanks! :D
 
Nowhere near a 3870, you'll be lucky to even approach 3650 numbers. Not worth it for games.
 
Hybrid, throttles down to save power right? Have not read hybrid referring to throttling up clocks to go beyond rated speeds.

That's disappointing... but I should mention I am gaming on an older LCD max res 1200x1028. So I don't really need something super deluxe...

any recommendations on something dirt cheap and very much worth my money?
