 NVIDIA GF9300 (ECS GF9300TA) mainboard review

 By: Hilbert Hagedoorn | Edited by Ian R. Barling | Published: October 15, 2008  

   


So then, the GF9300T-A Black Series motherboard based on the GeForce 9300 all-in-one chipset from NVIDIA is packed with features; including Realtek HD audio to onboard graphics and support for the latest Intel Quad-core and Core2 processors, a front side bus of up to 1333 MHz, and four 240-pin DDR2 DIMM slots carrying up to 32GB of DDR2-800 dual channel memory.

The NVIDIA GeForce9 Series Integrated Graphics Processing Unit (IGP) includes Hybrid SLI technology support and DirectX 10 capabilities, as well as NVIDIA PureVideo HD Technology for Blu-ray playback. The onboard graphics bring quality graphics for a fraction of the price of dedicated GPU solutions. The GF9300T-A Black Series from ECS is a great feature rich platform offering good value for mainstream gaming rigs.
