3DMark06 measures Shader 3.0 (i.e., DirectX 9.0c) performance. We ran this software under its default configuration. For this test we also included the result achieved by a Sapphire HD 3450 card installed in the motherboard PCI Express x16 slot while disabling the motherboard’s on-board video, so we can have an idea of the performance of a very low-end video card compared to the on-board video of the reviewed motherboard. The results you can see below.

On 3DMark06 the motherboard from Sapphire based on AMD 780G achieved a performance 92.62% higher than GeForce 8200. A very low-end Radeon HD 3450 video card was 180.98% faster than the on-board video from GF8200A.
