In a presentation in New York, AMD showed a demo of the upcoming AMD 780G chipset. The AMD 780G chipset (codenamed RS780D) is one of the chipsets to replace the aging AMD 690G that sold better than the competitng chipset for AM2 in 2007.


AMD 780G introduces Hybrid CrossFire, what it does is that it interlinks the onboard integrated graphics with your add on graphics card and run them in CrossFire mode resulting in higher performance.


In the demo, a Radeon HD 3450 or Radeon HD 3470 can be installed into a 780G motherboard ATI CrossFire technology is automatically enabled.

The ATI Radeon HD 3450 graphics card will sell for $49 while Radeon HD 3470 will sell for ~ $59. If CrossFire is not enabled, you can do a surround view, with 4 monitors connected to 2 ports each (two from onboard and two from card). CrossFire will be disabled in this case.

With a Radeon HD 3450 the system with a 2.2GHz scored 1650 marks. With Hybrid CrossFire enabled, it jumped to 2660 marks. ~ 60% increase.
on 3DMark 2006.



With Hybrid CrossFire up, a 30% gain in Unreal Tournament 3 and 60% in 3DMark 2006. Not bad for adding a $49 graphics card to a board with integrated graphics. Crysis, Call of Duty 4 and Unreal Tournament were all playable at resolutions of 1024x768 to 1280x1024.
