Which motherboard has the best available onboard graphics card

A

Guys I want to buy a motherboard which supports Core 2 Duo, DDR2 667MHz, onboard graphics card which is Dx10 Compatible (like Intel's DG965RY have GMA X3000)

INTEL D965RY Rs6600

Is Intel's GMA X3000 a good graphics card. As per my knowledge Intel is a poor vendor of onboard graphics card.

Is Intel's GMA X3000 better than ATi's x200 onboard graphics card which is in D101GGC *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/images/icons/icon4.gif

Yes I will definitely go for ATI or Nvidia graphic card. New Dx10 graphics cards are coming near June this year so till then I want some onboard graphics card.

what is your budget?

My budget is 20000/-. I was going for 7950GT. But now I will wait for Dx10 Graphics card *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif

Intel's GMA X3000 is better but not that good. I have used it on Intel 946, a useless motherboard as layout is concerned. It is nly vista ready onboard graphics. Intel is bad performer in this field. Ofcourse ATi's X200 is feel still superior.

The cost of D101GGC board increased like anything just due to ATI's onboard graphics. I bought it for arround 3000+ or so and now it is near 4000. It chased even Geforce, standalone graphic cards in FX 5 & PCIE 6200 series.

Thus onboard graphics from ATI are trustworthy.

Are there any mother boards available having onboard graphics better than ATI x200 in 965 series which supports Core Duo, DDR2 667 MHz

Even I am looking for one like that. I doubt whether available for intel platform, For AMD, there are plenty such MBs based on ATI & NV chipsets. MSI has some nice motherboards.

I was looking far such motherboard from MSI with onboard graphics, 965 chipset. There is one 965 Neo for arround 6000 but without onboard graphics. This is the one recommended to me by Digit Test Center today, when I spoke to them. This is in cheaper range and good motherboard for those who can not afford to have Asus P5B Deluxe & MSI 965 Platinum.

When I spoke to MSI at Delhi, they informed me that there is one more board from MSI in 965 with onboard graphics & WiFi for Rs 9000, this is costly. Moreover I forgot to ask, whether onboard is GMA 3000 or something from ATI?

I don't think at present, there is any motherboard in market for Intel platform with onboard graphics as well as good performance & features and that all too at affordable cost. I am not considering Intel original motherbords at all. Only the good one was D101GCC with ATI graphics onbaord.

Ati X200 can beat intel 3000 anyday

MSI RS482m2il with X200se GPU ONBOARD and ASUS M2N series which have 6200 onboard

Is this [MSI RS482m2il with X200se GPU ONBOARD] for Intel platform and based on 965, i.e support for core 2 duo, DDR2 etc. Any idea of probable cost. Is this board new? Ok let me check the MSI site.

This is my most frequently visited site. i could not find it anywhere? Coming when? Do you think will it be so cheap at 4500?

yes surely it will be very cheap coz Microsoft has got its drivers for WHQL certificates and i think will come in FEB to market...

as know from the dealers in delhi

My request, as soon as you have any information on this please post it as separate thread in hardwares. Looking forward to this board, if I can wait till Feb

Ok Surely I Will

Ya please do post the information. We intel users need it badly.

I have DG965RY + Core 2 Duo E6300.
Currently ATI X200 > X3000 but that's purely because of the poor G965 chipset drivers.
With newer drivers about to be released (Version 14.26) the performance would be better than ATI X200. Version 14.26 will add full Hardware support for Pixel Shaders and would be DirectX 9.0C compliant.

I am waiting for the drivers...

The current performance is also OK. I can run Half-Life 2, Far Cry etc. on low settings.

3D Xgl Desktop on GNU/Linux works like a charm with no slowdown...

So, X3000 is not that bad... and with newer drivers it would get better.

Hi Guys

I am planning on buying an Asus motherboard. I was thinking of P5B or P5B-V.
I checked the Asus site. It says P5B has P965 Chipset and P5B-V has G965. What is the difference between these two chipsets.
I know that P5B can be overclocked, but what about P5B-V? The P5B-V specs on Asus website shows that it can be overclocked. I was thinking about buying P5B-V board for time being till I can save enough money for better Graphics card (Dx10). If I buy P5B then I'll have to shell out at least 2.5k for a decent graphics card. Can anybody advice me on whether to go for P5B or P5B-V?

BTW I have already purchased C2D E6600.

if u want to get a g965 based mobo then get
1.gigabyte ga 965 ds3
or a intel dg965ry

if you want some Awesome 7.1 Channel Experience get DG965WH, i tested it today, MAAAN its just AWESOME, watched TopGun (movie), whoooow, it was a one of a kind Experience

the Jet sound goin round & round

, add Dolby Home Theatre (which is also present on this m/b) to It & you got a helluva of Entertainment PC. :twisted:

buy gigabyte mainboard, the all solid capacitors design will definitely benefit you in the long run..... also the ga-965g-ds3 is a good choice, it is also a good overclocker of c2d proccys

hi,

does intel 946 GZ supports DX10 graphics ... it has GMA 3000
