Conclusion: The 790GX seems to be a good follow up to the 780G and gives AMD another boost in edge in integrated performance. Hybrid Crossfire was interesting at the 780G launch but here it shows it's real potential and fully kicks in more than doubling performance at times in games that support it. A higher-end discrete card will always come out on top in performance but a 3450 can be had for only $38. Unfortunately as we mentioned we didn't have time to test a lot of new features in the 790GX but we will be visiting ACC, power consumption, and more in the future. ACC definitely has a lot of potential but we want to stress test the CPU and make sure it can handle those higher clocks. Pricing: The pricing is a little higher than the 780G with this Foxconn we tested coming in at around $130 on Newegg. Prices should drop in the future though. The 780G can be picked up for under $90 here Score: 97%
