It is important to call the motherboard a novelty, and the foundations for this are the ideas on the cob of 2009 for the production of AMD 760G. Change the AMD 740G on a budget model for the Socket AM2 / AM2 + platform, and later adaptations for the upcoming Socket AM3 / AM3 + roses. Головною відмінною рисою AMD 760G є наявність інтегрованого графічного ядра AMD Radeon HD 3000, що працює на частоті 350 МГц і сумісного з DirectX 10. Воно підтримує максимальний дозвіл 1920 х 1200 і призначений скоріше для мультимедійних потреб, оскільки забезпечити хоч скільки-небудь прийнятну продуктивність в today's games are out of place.

As for the GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 without interruption, it will act as an affordable and compact model for assembling corn row systems. At the time of writing, I look around for a price close to $70.

The table of technical specifications of the new motherboard may look like this.

Owners of ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics video cards need to install the basic drivers and, possibly, additional software for fine-tuning the components in order to increase productivity. You can install the necessary files in different ways, and in this article we will look at 4 available options.

Information before installing the driver for ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics

Since ATI was purchased by AMD, all the releases before the last product and its support continued to be released and upgraded, changing their names a little. U zvyazku z zim name "ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics" similarly ATI Radeon HD 3000 Series, To that we gave a rozpovimo about installing the driver under the title itself.

Please note that the graphics adapters are outdated, the check for updating the proprietary software is not ready - the remaining version was released a bit later to add support for the Windows 8 OS. To that end, the correct operation of the driver is not guaranteed.

Method 1: AMD official website

AMD maintains software security for all of its video cards, be it the remaining models or some of the first ones. Therefore, here you can download the required files without any effort. This way is the most safe, the oscillators are often used by drivers, the savings are from undamaged gerels, infected with viruses.

1. Vіdkryte storіnka pіdtrimki AMD for the help of the higher. With a list of products, choose the next option:

   Graphics > AMD Radeon HD > ATI Radeon HD 3000 Series> Model of your video card> "Repair".



2. See the page with a list of supported operating systems. As it was said before, there is no adapted version for Windows 10. Vlasniki can zavantazhit software for "vіsіmka", proterozrobnik not give guarantees that it will be 100% correct pratsyuvati.

   

   On the plus, open the tab and select the correct version of the driver. The stable version is called Catalyst Software Suite, I myself її it is recommended to take advantage of more koristuvachiv. However, in songful upheavals, you will be more likely to be entangled Latest Beta Driver. The version of the software has been updated, in order to use one by one pardon. You can look through the list by burning the spoiler Driver Details.



3. Having signed up for the version, click on the button "Zavantage".



4. Run the want installer. Change the place of unpacking the files, as necessary, and press Install.



5. Dock the rozarchivation of files.



6. If the manager of the Catalyst installation appears, tell me, as necessary, the mov interface, and move on.



7. Chob vykonat shvidku іnstalyatsiyu, choose "Restore".



8. We must first indicate the path where the directory with the driver will be installed. It is recommended to leave the space for the lock. after which the installation type is set to active - "Shvidka" or "Koristuvacha". sweat - "Dali".



9. There will be an analysis of the configuration.



10. Fallow in the same type of installation, the tiles are divided. When "Koristuvach" will be proponated to install an additional component of the PC AMD APP SDK Runtime, With "Shvidkoy" the whole stage is daily.



11. Wait with the minds of the licensed please button "Accept".

The driver will be installed all at once from Catalyst. Under the hour of the procedure, the screen will fade out for a short period of time. After the installation is completed, restart the computer - now you can adjust the parameters of the video card through Catalyst or immediately proceed to the full recovery of the PC.

Method 2: Programs for installing drivers

An alternative to the above method is to use software security from third-party retailers. Such software will install drivers for any number of computer components and peripherals that will require a connection or update.

Such a decision is especially relevant, as you have chosen to reinstall the operating system, or you just want to update the software part of the possession. In addition, it is not necessary to install all drivers in one hour - you can work vibrating, for example, only for a video card.

In our other article, we will look in detail at the shortest of such programs.

The most popular programs on this list are DriverPack Solution and DriverMax. Irrespective of those whose principle of work with them is clumsy, the postmen of koristuvachiv may be blamed for food. For this category, we prepared instructions for the procedure for installing drivers through these programs.

The release of graphic processors Radeon HD 3850 and 3870, which happened in the fall of 2007, at once plunged into the balance of power in all AMD video cards. The Radeon HD 3870, which is not the worst in terms of performance (but in a number of performances, I’ll improve), in comparison with the Radeon HD 2900XT, became the most productive card, while the Radeon HD 3850 actually demonstrated that a gaming video card can really be used, productivity (the number of cards equal to the "lower" 2900XT (from the Radeon HD 2600 family) did not quite reach the current highs). But two cards, beyond the modern worlds, can’t become a lineup, that’s why the development of a line of video cards based on chips, which are prepared according to 55 nm technical process, didn’t bother the check, moreover, in both directions, as there are more cheap cards, so a new flagship.

Because of this, without a doubt, a significant honor, a press conference was held in the Moscow restaurant "Dacha on Pokrovtsi", for the first time not only local journalists were requested, but also colleagues from the Soviet Union of Europe. Giuseppe Amato, technical director of AMD sales and marketing in the EMEAI region, spoke as the main additional message. Let's move on to the point.

Among the strengths, as in 2008 AMD plans to win in the competitive edge of its graphics processors, include:

• The support for DirectX 10.1, which first appeared in the Radeon HD 3850/3870, will be extended to all video cards (although NVIDIA does not plan to extend DirectX 10 yet);
• Possibility of integration of video cards in CrossFire, including modes with a number of cards more than three, it will also be possible to use practically all cards, meanwhile, the most cheap ones will traditionally be implemented in software, without using hardware;
• Support for the digital DisplayPort interface and further development of a specialized UVD unit for hardware decoding of video compressed in H.264 and VC1 formats, encoded on Blu-ray and HD-DVD discs;
• The most progressive, among the most advanced for the development of graphic processors, technical process (55 nm) and PowerPlay technology, dynamically turning on and off the functional blocks in the chip, which allows to reduce the energy reduction in the modes of frequent irradiation of the graphic strain;
• Additional advantages in installing AMD graphics on the platform are also expected on the components (chipset and processor) of AMD. About those who are a platform for enthusiasts, released in the fall of the last year, and mobile, the release of such plans for a streaming river, we already rozpovidali. The basis of the platform for office and "home-media center" PCs called Cartwheel will be system boards based on a chipset with integrated AMD 780G graphics, with DirectX 10 support, which will appear in the next hour, and sales are due no sooner. "Additional advantage" in this case is due to the Hybrid CrossFire technology, which allows, when a video card is installed, to combine the resources of both the graphics core in the chipset.

This is how the Radeon HD 3000 line will look now. As the leader, the dual-processor Radeon HD 3870 X2 video card, is now in our laboratory, and in the next hour, if practical material is to be released, we will not be proud of it. It’s a good thing, the success of such a card, without intermediary, to lie in productivity, in parity with the equal amount of competitors in powerful 3D games. And while we look at it, we can bring new inexpensive video cards from the segment of less than $ 100-150 (before speech, the most massive), but not everything is so simple. I wish that no one buys such cards, so that they can use the maximum capacity and high distribution capacity, and most of the time, the owners of such cards are not interested in such cards until the mountains (as a rule, dynamic "shooters"), they are everywhere victorious , in view of the greater calm genres and іnshі rozvagi, zokrema, marvel at cinema.

У функціональних характеристиках Radeon HD 3650 немає жодних усікань щодо HD 3850/3870, наявна і підтримка CrossFire, і декодера UVD, серед підтримуваних інтерфейсів є як Dual Link DVI, так і HDMI, і найбільш сучасний DisplayPort, що відрізняється подвоєною пропускною здатністю і не вимагає license approvals for HDMI access, which can speed up the implementation.

There are a surprising number of possible options, in which cards based on the Radeon HD 3650 can be launched, hackers can install both GDDR3 and DDR2, moreover, in both modes (which is not correctly indicated on the slide) you can have different memory settings (256 512MB GDDR3 or 256, 512 or 1024MB DDR2). Obviously, the relevance of cards with a gigabyte of DDR2-memory is not great, but otherwise you should know your soulmate.

Understandably, for the sake of understanding the relative prices, we recommend that the chips in such a situation are correctly aligned with the Radeon HD 2600 Pro from the front line, for which the 3650 wins. The paired GeForce 8600 GT also has a lot of success everywhere, like in Crysis and others, due to the high demand for shader blocks.

Although in the description of cards from the Radeon HD 3400 family and є higher (for its price) productivity in 3D, the price itself is liable to add up less than $ 50, for the official position, these cards are no longer guaranteed for fans of modern 3D games. Vіrnіshe, in pershu cherga, razahovanі on spozhivachіv HD-video content.

In AMD, the versatility of such a card with a pair of HD-DVD discs is considered, so it looks like it's suitable for card inserts. With the fact that such cards can be loaded a lot, media centers and home cinemas in a compact case can be selected from these congestions. Looking at the extremely low heat output, more pickers will be equipped with passive cooling cards. And in line with the early implementations of the integrated HDMI support, now it’s also complementary, like a support for transmitting 5.1-channel audio in Dolby Digital and DTS formats through the same interface.

The Radeon HD 3470 is still confused about the upcoming 1440p HD-video format.

Reference cards are allowed to be more actively cooled for the help of cheap small-sized colors, while, as it was already planned, such cards will store more (maybe, if not found), more and more passive radiators. At the same time, it means that the reference version of the HD 3450 can have a low-profile format and provide HDMI output, an adapter will be required to connect the monitor via DVI. These cards will be the first to support the Hybrid CrossFire technology, about which a few words can be said.

The main recognition is that, regardless of such a low variance in general for the platform (even system boards on chipsets with video integration, especially in the mATX format, they are also traditionally charged with additional prices), still ensure that the players can play with the opportunity to play. From a practical point of view, there are no visible results in tests with maximum graphics adjustments and piece-by-piece adjustments of anisotropic filtering, and all-screen smoothing, the movie does not work. Another advantage is the availability of two graphics cores in the computer in the possibility of an automatic transition to a more economical graphics core, which is integrated into the chipset, if the video card functions can be accelerated 3D or video content is not required. Nareshti, multi-monitor, although not connected to Hybrid CrossFire technology without intermediary (but on the other hand, it is implemented when it is turned on), it is possible, as if with cards on the AMD 690G chipset, to connect to an inexpensive computer to several monitors. While in the world price reductions on RK-monitors are gaining more and more practical value, oscillators can be embarrassing in the most different situations, to improve comfort and productivity of practice, even if the old fashioned bagatma is accepted by few people as exotic.

How efficient will it be to see the capabilities of the integrated video and graphics core on the video card? To get ready for the release of the AMD 780G chipset, which will be the mother of its own distributed support for the Hybrid CrossFire, and the Radeon HD 3470 cards will show such significant values, and the productivity itself is to blame for the greater chipsets. In absolute terms, in a number of popular games, there can be evidence of a difference between the “non-robable” mode and the “robable” one. It sounds tempting, the shards were based on the needs of the game and the feasibility of graphical cores (navigate the most in the distance) in chipsets, as well as in the found ones, critically, zagalnovidomo, and it would be bad for the situation to be full. We, zrozumіlo, as soon as the possibility appears, we will conduct a test and, as a matter of fact, far away, the idea has been implemented.

Possibility of the rest of the generation's built-in Intel video processor is hostile. In today's games and games of the past years, Intel HD Graphics 3000 demonstrates productivity on a parity of discrete video cards of the genus parity. The performance potential of the new product is quite different from the potential of the latest generation of Intel graphics - Intel GMA HD, which in practice means the ability to achieve more high graphics in non-impossible games and the ability to launch modern games, as a rule, in low-power mode.

In the course of testing, it was noted that the Intel HD 3000 does not cope with certain games successfully. Zocrema, they blamed the problems with equal brightness: in Left 4 Dead 2 and Supreme Commander, the game scene appeared overly dark, and the scenes in Sims 3 and HAWX 2 after changing the adjustment were allowed, on the other hand, they looked even brighter. Tim for an hour, Mafia II doesn't show up. Let's be aware that with the appearance of new versions of the driver, the problems will be resolved.

Looking back at the performance level of the new Intel core core processors of the Sandy Bridge architectural generation, one cannot help but talk about the positive impact of the central processor on the results of testing the swidcode in the built-in graphics.

Speaking of the Intel HD Graphics 3000, it's worth noting that the frequency of this robot can vary depending on the particular processor model. At the same time, the video core is operating at a frequency of 650 MHz to 1300 MHz in the Intel Core i7-2720QM processor; 1100 MHz.

Processors of the ULV class (with ultra-low power) are characterized by smaller frequency characteristics - from 350 MHz to 900 MHz, which indicates a generally lower level of productivity. The same can be brought to the configuration, which is known to be cooled from the side of the cooling system, but this factor can be shifted to the path to achieve maximum productivity, which is reached by the help of Intel Turbo Boost technology.

entry

The epoch of modern graphical solutions for ATI has begun even more so, if the company announces the overpopular set of system logic Radeon Xpress 200 for AMD processors. Obviously, a few years before that, the Canadian company received a lot of hype with the announcement of the Radeon 9100 IGP with the introduced Radeon 9200, however, at that time, the set of system logic was assigned exclusively to Intel Pentium 4 and later processors.

Radeon Xpress 200 is three times different solutions, even though it is not only supported by PCI-E on motherboards, but it was previously assigned to AMD processors, and not Intel, as it was earlier. Debuting in 2004, Xpress 200 registered in a huge number of motherboards, being actively used both in desktop computers and in laptops. Taking into account the most advanced graphics core of the Radeon X300 class, (like, to the point, it was nothing like the "most popular" Radeon 9600, albeit PCI-E), the shortest time is not bad to spare on the cards for a future upgrade, the first hour is satisfying "embedding".

advertising

Let the video core be lightly cut down in sequence by its discrete analog in clock frequencies, and the video memory was scooped from the operational, and the back was torn apart. One of the ways to improve the productivity of the Radeon Xpress 200 solution was to solder 16 or 32 MB GDDR video memory chips on the motherboard. For their variability, such polypshennia were copied, but the overall productivity of the stench was increased significantly, even in skin tone such "tuning" was played by the FPS.

The Radeon Xpress 200 chipset lived to live for a long time, and until 2007, with some changes, actively victorious in various laptops and on motherboards as the main videoopidsystem. True, the engineer managed to change the name of the built-in video core on the Radeon X1100, and then on the Radeon X1200 \ X1250, the productivity of this solution was only about the same as in the beginning of 2004.

It became clear that the integrated graphics of ATi/AMD required cardinal changes, but at that time DirectX 10 and shader number 4.0 were already actively winning in the majority of mid-range and cheap solutions.

Radeon HD integration

The unending evolution of the Radeon X200 finally ended in a revolution, when in 2008 AMD introduced a line of absolutely new AMD 780G chipsets with the integration of the Radeon HD 3200 video core. The chip took 40 scalar processors, 4 texture units and 4 ROP "s blocks - such a hard hardware stuffing was done in order to take the level of productivity of the Radeon X1600 and play in more modern games, easily digesting the game on the Unreal Engine 3 engine.
