They've yet to hit one out of the park, but they are reaching base a lot more consistently. At least they seem to be trying to listen to users in some regards.

That is a good question. Does Kyle have the 790GX on the rack in the [H}arddungeon, putting the screws to that beast and whipping it to within inches of it's life until it screams in agony and/or ecstacy? If so, we can expect some much needed information. If not someone should do just that.
So here's what I have so far:
Phenom x3 8450
GA-MA790GP-DS4H
8GB TWIN2X2048-6400C5DHX
I installed Vista x64 SP1 with the SATA controller in AHCI mode and it worked fine, unlike some other reviewers for some reason. I then install the latest catalyst drivers (including north/southbridge), though I had to install the onboard video drivers from the gigabyte CD because for some reason the latest download from AMD wouldn't detect it. I then installed AOD 2.1.2 and started poking around since I've never used/seen it. I found where it shows ACC, however it was greyed out and I couldn't do anything with it. Further investigation on the web revealed I had to hit ctrl-f1 in the bios to enable the hidden options, one of which is the ACC enable. I then had auto, 2%, 4%, and so on available to me.
Let me stop here and mention that the gigabyte manual says absolutely nothing about ACC that I can find, let alone what the different percentages mean or of course the secret key combo to reveal it. I found a review of the same board where someone said gigabyte recommends +2% for the 9950/9850, +4% for the B2 9600, and +6% for extreme cases. Now I have an x3 8450 so I don't know what I should throw in there, and I have no idea where they got this recommendation from gigabyte, unless of course it was a direct line kind of thing. So I tried auto and +2%, and neither of them made a difference, ACC is still greyed out. I intend to try different options, but I noticed I'm having some trouble in windows and I'm guessing it's related to the fact that I'm running 8GB of RAM (erros on unzipping stuff, can't launch some programs). I know how finicky boards can be with all four slots filled, so I'm taking the time to memtest before I play any further, to make sure I'm stable. On test5, so far so good.
ya
I thought hybrid would just automatically shutoff the pci card and run on the onboard when in windows
u mean 3:35
So it's just a CCC issue that's currently disable?
Just noted that the Foxconn is gone from the newegg page and the Gigabyte is still out of stock. Wondering what's up.
OT- Hey, you got the same motherboard in your sig that I'm upgrading. Obviously you have the AMDCPU board. How is that?
