Conclusion:


We're glad to see Asus fill the void of a 790FX chipset with four PCI-Express 16x lanes with the newer SB750 chipset. The older board definitely needed that step up and Asus has done an excellent job in implementing it. We were surprised though by overall how little difference it seemed to make compared to the board with the SB600 chipset except in regards to overclocking. If you already have the M3A32-MVP Deluxe it definitely doesn't seem worth the upgrade just for the SB750 chipset but if you're not, and you need Quad PCI-E Crossfire then this is the board to get. For the most part though we feel most will likely be okay with dual 8x Crossfire of the 790GX but there are always those who want to push things further.

Pricing:



The M3A79-T is available at MWave for $192 right now. This is roughly a $40 increase over the Asus 790GX motherboard.
