Re: AMD RS780G - integrated graphics redefined!

I think it is resticted to the HD3450/3470's.

That said as you point out, it's not really going to improve anything with an HD4850 anyway.

You could look at the nivdia chipset 8200/8300 which when used with an 9800GTX, turns the 9800 off when on the desktop doing 2D stuff to save power. Only problem is, it doesn't seem to work all that well. It stops the fan spinning and uses a little less power but apparently it's still being powered and gets a little hot.
