AMD's 785G integrated graphics chipset

Like the Asus EVO, Gigabyte's MA785G-UD3H is a full-size ATX board with dual PCIe x16 slots for CrossFire. The UD3H's slots even share the same x16/x4 lane configuration as the Asus board. And that's not all. Like the EVO, the UD3H has two ounces of copper spread between its circuit board layers. Solid-state capacitors carrying the same 50,000-hour rating as those on the Asus board can be found throughout, as well. The UD3H is a little cheaper, though. At Newegg, it's currently selling for $10 less than the EVO. A lower price tag suits the UD3H in part because it's equipped with DDR2 rather than DDR3 memory slots. This makes the board compatible with a range of older Socket AM2 and AM2+ processors that lack DDR3 memory controllers. DDR2 is slower than DDR3, of course, and the BIOS only supports memory DIMMs up to 1066MHz before you have to start cranking on the system's base clock. System memory speed is particularly important here because available memory bandwidth must be shared with the board's integrated Radeon. Unlike the EVO, which packs 128MB of DDR3-1333 sideport memory, the UD3H's graphics component doesn't have dedicated memory of its own.

AMD 785G Chipset Launch: ASUS and Gigabyte

The second Gigabyte 785G board we have in the lab is the GA-MA785G-UD3H. Unlike the UD2H, the UD3H is a full ATX form factor board with a full set of expansion slots including dual PCI-E x16 slots which can be linked together in a variety of CrossFire configurations, with and without the IGP. The Gigabyte GA-MA785G-UD3H is quite different from the two previous 785G boards we checked out. It's the only one of the three to support AM2 processors and implement DDR2 instead of DDR3. It's also the only board out of the three to not include any SidePort memory and not have an eSATA port. However, to its credit, it's also the only board of the three to boast two FireWire internal headers which in conjunction with the port on the rear I/O allows for up to three IEEE 1394a connectors. While the UD3H lacks an eSATA port, it gets an extra internal SATA port for a total of six. Other than these differences, it is identical to its stablemate, the UD2H.
