XFX nForce 750a SLI (MD-A72P-7509) Motherboard Review

Motherboards with integrated processor are nothing new to the computer world but NVIDIA’s latest implementation is something new which they brand as HybridSLI… NVIDIA is planning to implement this feature in all of their future chipsets and we have seen motherboards with such feature with nForce 780a chipset. NVIDIA has just released two new chipsets, nForce 750a and GeForce 8300, which also features HybridSLI. Hybrid SLI only works with a few graphic cards and with Vista machines. With NVIDIA planning to incorporate Hybrid SLI into their chipsets and graphics cards, we should see this technology matures and becomes more widely available.

The XFX 750a is packed with features and functions for a mainstream motherboard. In terms of its performance, it is on par with the AMD 790FX based motherboard with the exception of USB transfer rate and the integer x16 where 750a chipset has a clear advantage. I see this board can be a good choice for those who wish to use a PC for both HTPC and for gaming
