AMD's 780 chipset is without doubt the best integrated graphics platform on the market and it could make for an awesome media centre PC. However, that doesn't mean it's without flaws. Although it has the best onboard graphics available, it still isn't able to play modern games at the framerates and quality we want and its mediocre video playback quality doesn't help either. Let's just hope a couple of new drivers can sort these issues out. Addendum After publication we realised we had used only the low power CPU during our gaming tests and we were intrigued to know whether this was having an impact on performance. So, we popped in a faster CPU and ran through our tests again. As the revised graphs now show, the faster CPU does indeed increase performance by a noticeable amount - at least in most of the tests. However, our original conclusions still apply as all the games were run at low resolutions with medium to low in-game detail settings so the gaming experience is still pretty poor. Yes, it's better than any other integrated platform out there and it will play all the latest games - something which many rivals can't do - but not until we see this sort of performance at higher resolutions, like 1,280x1,024, and with higher detail settings will we consider it a truly viable gaming platform.
