XFX nForce 750a SLI Wins Silver Award

Mato78 Silver Award

“The quality of this board and its Hybrid SLI and Integrated graphics rank it high enough to win our Silver Award.”

XFX nForce 750a Awarded 8/10

Bjorn3d Review

I see this board can be a good choice for those who wish to use a PC for both HTPC and for gaming. The integrated GPU will serve the HTPC function and the discrete GPU can provide the needed power for gaming. With the ability to shut off the discrete graphic, users would be able to reduce the power loads and have near silent operation since they would have the ability to completely turn off the discrete GPU.
