Sapphire PI-AM2RS690MHD

With the launch of the AMD 690G, Sapphire will definitely not be the only manufacturer to deliver this motherboard combination. However, the versatility of the new chipset means that manufacturers can actually choose to focus on a more spartan business oriented board without DVI or TV Encoder capabilities, but Sapphire chose to go all out and like the original Pure Innovation motherboard based on the RX480, the Pure Innovation HDMI boasts a really impressive list of features that belie its micro ATX form factor. SATA RAID, full 8GB DDR2 configuration, Gigabit LAN, FireWire, HDMI, DVI, S/PDIF, S-Video, Composite video, the board seems to have it all.

However, it is not without its limitations. For one, many of its additional ports like FireWire, DVI, S/PDIF and video outputs require the use of optional brackets. Sapphire has included everything you will ever need in the product packaging; the question is not whether these connections are available, but whether you have enough space in your chassis to utilize that many brackets. If you do not have sufficient expansion ports to install the brackets, you'll have to find other creative methods to enable these functions.

Also, the AMD 690G is currently the first and only IGP chipset to feature native HDMI/HDCP and AVIVO HD acceleration technology, which gives the Pure Innovation HDMI and similarly configured boards a head start in the market ahead of NVIDIA's planned launch of their own next generation IGP chipset. However, the limitations of the GPU video processing mean that it is still not fully capable of Blu-ray and HD DVD playback in full 1080p. You'll still have to ensure that you have a sufficiently powerful CPU to make up for it (or opt for a discrete GPU that can tackle it).

After testing the ASUS M2A-VM I was a bit dissapointed with its performance and assumed all AMD RS690 motherboards are just a bit slower. After benchmarking the Sapphire PI-AM2RS690MHD I realized that this is not the case. Sapphire's board can keep up easily with RD580 based high-end boards in most benchmarks. The BIOS options are well rounded, so tweaking and overclocking is easy.
