Sapphire has released a new feature packed mainboard based on the 890GX chipset from AMD, supporting the latest AMD processor families with DDR3 memory support and CrossFireX graphics options.
The Sapphire Pure CrossFireX PC-AM3RS890G is a fully featured mainboard in standard ATX format combining the AMD 890GX Chipset and AMD SB850 south bridge. Four DIMM slots support up to 16GB of DDR3 1066/1333/1600 memory and there is an on-board 128MBit DDR3 sideport memory. The integrated 6GB/s SATA3 hard drive interface caters for up to six devices with optional RAID functions, and an e-SATA port provides for the connection of external devices. There is also an Ultra DMA IDE connector and a legacy Floppy Disk interface. On board features include a GigaBit LAN connector and Realtek HD Audio with 8-channel I/O, optical and coax outputs and 3D audio capability. There also is support for up to 12 USB 2.0/1.1 devices, COM Port, IR and SPDIF including backplate connectors and headers.
The 890GX chipset has integrated graphics equivalent to an ATI 4290 graphics card, giving DX10.1 support. The on board UVD decodes Blu-ray and HD DVD content smoothly with low CPU loading. DVI, VGA and HDMI outputs are provided on the backplate. For better graphics performance the two 8-lane PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots can be used to install the latest HD 5000 series graphics cards, either singly or in CrossFireX. Hybrid CrossFire is also supported with HD 4000 series graphics cards. Additional expansion capability is provided by one 32-bit PCI slot, one PCI-Express x1 slot and one mini PCI-E socket.
