GIGABYTE Technology (India) Pvt. Ltd. has recently launched two GIGABYTE FM2 series motherboards, packing the latest AMD A85X chipset, and supporting the trendsetting AMD A10 APUs (Accelerated Processing Units). The two motherboards, GA-F2A85XM-D3H and GA-F2A85XM-DS2, are equipped with a comprehensive range of unique features that offer mainstream PC users the most compelling platform in the market, besides being ‘must-have’ products for any gaming enthusiast.
The new AMD FM2 Series APUs combine up to 4 cores with the latest 7000 series graphics core, offering a balanced, visually enhanced user experience. The APUs are based on the AMD ‘Trinity’ architecture, which so far was used only on high-end Bulldozer processors. So with these new APUs, we are witnessing this technology becoming available on more low-cost processors.
No wonder the approximate prices of GA-F2A85XM-D3H and GA-F2A85XM-DS2 are just Rs. 7,200 and Rs. 6,800 respectively!
AMD FM2 Trinity APUs provide up to 33% improved 3D performance than previous gen FM1 APUs.
In what could be a prized possession for any enthusiastic gamer, GA-F2A85XM-D3H and GA-F2A85XM-DS2 deliver an enhanced visual experience that includes triple digital display support with AMD Eyefinity and impressive DX11® 3D gaming.
GIGABYTE FM2 series motherboards are the first to take advantage of AMD Eyefinity technology, allowing users to extend their OS desktop by connecting up to three high-resolution digital displays. Triple displays mean more real-estate for enhanced productivity, plus the ability to enjoy panoramic triple screen 3D gaming thanks to AMD’s optimized Eyefinity driver technology.
Supporting multiple independent display outputs simultaneously, AMD Eyefinity technology delivers innovative graphics display capabilities enabling massive desktop workspaces and ultra-immersive visual environments for the ultimate panoramic computing experience.
GA-F2A85XM-D3H – Making the Best Features of AMD’s Trinity Processors Affordable
One of GIGABYTE’s newest FM2 motherboards, GA-F2A85XM-D3H supports AMD’s Trinity processors and uses the high-end A85X chipset. It sports eight SATA 6Gbps ports, three video outputs, a quartet of USB 3.0, and scope for Dual Graphics and two-card CrossFire. All eight of the SATA connectors are SATA3 ports, giving you the fastest speed out of an SSD, while making your computer boot instantaneously.
The back panel comes with three 3.5mm audio outputs, a PS/2 port, and an optical S/PDIF out connector. Although these support 5.1 channels of audio, you can also get 7.1 channels of audio by using the motherboard’s header to connect front-panel audio outputs.
