NONE>..

grab the ECS 885GM mobo which is set to be available any day now...

It has the 880G chipset(duplicate of 785G but with better, lower power consumption) but the South Bridge is the shiny new SB850

The price is under 5k, 4.9k actually...so I think it's a pretty good buy as soon as it will be available.

i'm not sure about the board.. but why dont you change your monitor..?

go for Benq's G2220HD . you get 1080p whereas in 2020HD you dont and more over G2220HD also supports distortion free 16:9 aspect ratio..it must cost you 500-750 extra.

785G. with 880G u getting a 785G mGPU clocked at 560Mhz or so, compared to 500Mhz on the former one. 60Mhz won'y give u anything other than 1-2FPS at MAXIMUM.

@giprabu : Thanks for points out :smile: Will buy G2220HD

@comp@ddict : I am looking for motherboard with USB3.0 support.
Does ECS 885GM support USB3.0 ?

@azaad_shri75 : 5770 is 1.5K more than 5750
How much difference will there be in the performance of 5770 and 5750 when games like gta4 , crysis , nfs:shift/undercover etc are played in 22inch monitors with medium to high settings (don't know exact resolution :neutral:) ?

@krishnandu.sarkar : So much used to blue colour and Arial font in office mails that every else looks out of place for me :banghead:

Also how's ECS vs Gigabyte (w.r.t reliability, warranty and service)
Will ECS 885GM available in bangalore by month end ?
