Legit Reviews - How To: Overclocking AMD Boards With 690G Integrated Graphics - Final Thoughts and Conclusions

This is AMD's newest intergrated graphics, the 690G or aka the X1250. It overclocked a good 125mhz on the core and is actually pretty decent for onboard graphics. The X1250 is better than the 6150 SE offered by nvidia.

yea but its just a rebranded X700 core

No, the graphics is just based off the the X700, it's not an actual X700 GPU like we know it slapped onto a motherboard. Just like the RS482 IGP is based off of the X300 GPU but it's not an actual X300. Similar architechture, but different features (like adding AVIVO but slashing pixel pipelines and shaders, etc)...

Many AVIVO features (including 10-bit per component processing) have been implemented on X1250, bringing higher quality video decode to integrated graphics. Unfortunately, with this improvement comes some sacrifice, as the number of pipelines on the X1250 is cut down from the X700. The X1250 weighs in at four pixel shaders and like other X100 series hardware this also means four texture units, z-samples and pixels per clock. The major change when compared to the X700 is the number of vertex shader units have gone from six to zero. All vertex shader operations are handled by the CPU. The core clock speed operates at 400MHz and can be increased to 500MHz within the BIOS depending upon the board manufacturer. We have also overclocked one of our boards to 550MHz with a third party utility but performance unfortunately does not scale well due to the limitations of the GPU. Based upon these numbers you can expect overall performance closer to that of the X300 than the X700.
