We recently had an opportunity to see a AMD A690G chipset system running a copy of Far Cry without any frameloss and plenty of detail. Very impressive. Onboard graphics usually suck but AMD have produced one of the first decent solutions. Okay you won't be playing Crysis at full whack but for budget builders a motherboard with a trade price of around £35 including decent graphics is nothing to be sneezed at. Foxconn today launched three new motherboards based on the AMD A690G chipset, built for AMD AM2 processors. The A690GM2MA series motherboards offer advanced graphics capability out of the box with full DirectX 9.0 support thanks to the onboard ATI Radeon X1250 graphics processor. These motherboards include TV-Out and DVI outputs for flexibility in home, office and media PC applications. The A690GM2MA series is a good choice for digital home and office PCs.
Supporting Socket AM2 for AMD® Althon 64FX, Athlon 64x2, Athlon 64 and
Sempron processors and up to 8Gb of DDR2 533/667/800MHz system memory,
the A690GM2MA-8KRS2H also offers Gigabit LAN, 8-channel HD Audio, RAID,
4* SATA2.0 ports and 10* USB2.0 ports for outstanding connectivity
capability. Despite the considerable on-board graphics power, Foxconn
A690GM2MA motherboards offer room for expansion, with 1* PCIe x16 slot,
1* PCIe x1 slot and 2* PCI slots for legacy cards.
Commenting on the release of these latest AMD motherboards under the Foxconn brand, Brian Chang, motherboard product manager explained, "The A690GM2MA series motherboards offer really excellent onboard graphics capability and are highly adaptable for business, consumer and media centre PCs. We have developed three different versions to give customers more choice on the exact configurations and ensure they only need to pay for the features that they need."
