Abstract: While Nvidia and Intel generally work on ever-more expensive and complicated motherboard chipsets, its good to see AMD go the other way for a change and make a chipset for the budget builder. ECSs AMD960GM-M2 is the first motherboard weve seen to...
Abstract: ECS AMD690GM-M2 is a socket AM2 motherboard with on-board video based on the latest chipset from AMD/ATI, AMD 690G, also known by its codename RS690. This is the first chipset coming from the collaboration between AMD and ATI, after AMD bought ATI. We ...
Abstract: Like you, there is nothing we like better than a super affordable platform that gives you almost everything under the sun!! With the acquisition of ATi, the 690G chipset came to life as one of the finest chipsets for a home theatre platform thus far.
Cheap, Avivo giving excellent video quality, Multi-monitor support, HDPC-support on both DVI and HDMI, Dual-link DVI, Small form factor, Usable Vista drivers out of the box, Decent on-board graphics performance that work well for office work, Media Center...
Limited features, No Firewire onboard, Onboard graphics not suitable for anything but lowres gaming, Needs a good CPU for playback of higher bitrate Blueray and HDDVD moveis at 1080p
I was pleasantly surprised with the ECS AMD690GM-M2 that I could actually use the on-board graphics even when watching an HD-DVD, albeit at 720p. And if I hadnt sent it back, it would definitely already be sitting in a new little silent Media-center ...

Inexpensive, Onboard graphics, The motherboard is purple (women like that), DVIout, 16 GB RAM Capacity...
Due to onboard graphics, it utilizes system memory, No HDMIout...
When I first started running my benchmarks, I was not overly impressed with the performance of the ECS AMD690GM-M2, but after benchmarking the other two boards, I began to realize I was over-speculating. The ECS board is an entry level motherboard and...
While so far we have only received one of AMD’s 690 chipsets that will eventually hit the market, it’s clear that the AMD/ATI merger has really taken a turn for the better. AMD has never really had the capacity to produce its own chipsets for...
7.1 HD audio, GbE, Good USB performance, Integrated 3D performance is good
3D performance, BIOS too limited, No 1394, No S/PDIF
ECS AMD690GM-M2 is the second mATX board that arrived at our labs during the Chinese New Year period. We spent time with the board is pleased with its performance. In our test, we also compared the board to other integrated graphics performance from N...
Rendimiento correcto por su chipset, Bajo consumo eléctrico, Rendimiento 2D y 3D excelente para una VGA integrada, Rendimiento gráfico 3D integrado muy superior a todos los competidores, Sistema de refrigeración 100% silencioso, Muy buena relación precio/rendimiento, Salida de Video doble, incluyendo DVI.
Nos hubiera gustado al menos 1 puerto Firewire, Nos falta también salida S/PDIF,
Pocas cosas hemos descubierto ya de este chipset con el artículo de hoy, debido a que es ya el tercer análisis de una placa base que integra el AMD 690G, y la cuestión era ver si seguía mostrando el comportamiento al que nos tenía acostumbrados hasta a...
