When it comes to AMD motherboards, which is a better chipset to go with? nVidia or AMD?
Well if you want to run C/F or SLI you dont have much choice. If your only going to run a single card, I would still get a ATI/AMD chipset. From what I understand Nvidia is going dead in the motherboard chipset dept. anyway.
I posted a similer thread yesterday on Chipsets to be honest the best Chipsets on the market are the nVidia 790 or 780a or if you want AMD Chipset go with the 780FX or GX
nVidia Chipset is slightly faster in tests but AMD's is more stable and will be able to give more graphics power just depends what you want it for. Hope this helps:good:
Those were old test using the ATI SB600.
No it wasent it was showing you the results on the 780FX Vs. 790a
Nvidia chipsets are dead for AMD motherboards. I have a 780a motherboard. That was ridiculously hard to find here. The 980a is out, but again, hard to find. It's basically are carbon copy of the 780a anyway.
There is no such thing as the 790a. At least not on nvidia's website. As for the 780a vs. 790FX.... well, thanks to the SB750 it wipes the floor with the 780a.

I've got a Machspeed MSNV-939 right now with the nForce4 chipset and it's really quite nice. I have a 5.1 card and an HD4870 so integrated graphics and audio don't matter to me.
First of all know what your talking about if you question me. I was talking about the (southbridge) SB600 is what the test was using. AMD uses the SB710 and 750 now. And its 780a and 790FX. Not the 780FX and 790a.
Yeap, with socket A/754/939 and when AM2 first came out Nvidia chipsets were the way to go.
Seen a read this morning. Nvidia is going to stop making chipsets. Being pushed out by AMD and Nvidia. Then Nvidia said it wasnt true. But I bet it is, they cant make a Intel chipset and so far AMD has said no to them on there 32nm. Bulldozer.
Intel is releasing there own video card, going to shut nvidia out when that happens. And AMD sure aint going to let SLI run on a AMD chipset and is not going to let nvidia do Bulldozer chipsets.
So if they are going to keep making chipsets, I dont know who they would be for. I think they are just saying its untrue to keep the on hand chipset sales from falling through the floor.
Hahaha go sick. Make yourself more clear next time then? And so what i got confused? Its not a life tragedy. Calm your rage.
Oo Sounds like an interesting read! Where did you read about it?
Saying it was a old test using the SB600 sounds pretty clear to me.

Some of them were old links, but it was coming. Think they pulled some new links because Nvidia said it wasnt true.
