Question About "Ati Hybrid Graphics"

I have never dealt with Ati before. And im doing a budget upgrade for my Pc. and im planning on getting an Ati card with my Amd mobo. And I read something about using the On board gpu and the card at the same time. Sorta like Nvidias SLI from what I understand. But I heard it has it limits. So my question is will this video card be able to run with this intergraded GPU?

Thanks

As far as I know the only chipset that utilizes what your talking about is the AMD 780. And that board has the 780G so I don't see why it wouldn't work. But I have no idea why you would want to buy a ECS mobo, and one with integrated video to begin with. What your doing is like trying to combine two pennies, when you could instead just get a nickle.

Personally I don't think there is any point in the ati hybrid technology anymore. If your going to play video games then you will need something better anyways then a 3650 but to watch movies or videos then the 3650 is all you will need. So imo thats just wasted performance that could've been spent on a better video card/ cheaper mini-atx mobo.

Ok lol. thanks. Im on a budget. so what would you reccomend?

Well what do you plan on doing with it?

Playing light games. Nothing too intense. does not need to look amazing just something to play most modern games on low to medium with a playable frame rate

I just bought the same brand ATI sapphire graphics a few days ago. A 4650 I think, $50.

I don't know if it's compatible for you or anything though.

Well then if I were you I would probably get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814102838 and a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813131391 since I wasn't sure on your price restrictions. The video card should play about any recent video games on low/medium settings, and the mobo supports AM3 processors which the other ECS didn't so that's good.

Hope that helped guide you a little bit more :p

Thanks! helped alot. Buying now

Awesome! Np, anytime. And with that mobo in the future if you want to buy a awesomesauce quad core then you can

Will do. lol. Ill get a quad eventually right now im only running on a Amd Athlon 64 X2 2.1 dual core.
