Of the 780G motherboards we have tested at OCC, the Sapphire PI-AMRS780G's performance falls somewhere in the middle - posting strong scores in some benchmarks, and relatively weak scores in others. When paired with a discrete video card, the Sapphire motherboard's IGP in Hybrid CrossFire mode definitely boosts graphics performance, which makes it an ideal candidate for an HTPC or a family computer that will sometimes be used for casual gaming at low resolutions. For hard-core gamers, even pairing this motherboard with a powerful discrete video card will not help you break any 3DMark records. The debug LED is a nice touch - especially for people who constantly change hardware - because you will not have to guess what the problem is if you have any troubles. Another great feature of the Sapphire mainboard is the POST screen; being an enthusiast, I love being able to check system temps, voltages, and fan speeds on startup.
