GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 5.0) , quick heads up on this revision. Nice suprise.

Got this board today, set up well and quickly, loaded up CPU-Z, and its reporting the chipset as a 780G not a 760G.  I thought it might be reporting wrong, so I installed overdrive, and guess what, fully supported and reporting 780g :D

Nice!

It would have been wrong to have the 760G as the "78"in 78LMT should refer to the AMD 780G chipset.Nevertheless they are similar.

I would have chose a FM 2 APU and a FM2 A75 board instead as it would have had SATA III and NATIVE USB3 for a good price ,with the advantage of low power draw and better on-board video performance from the AMD APU.

Im using a Phenom II X6, and wanted it in a MATX case, this board works perfectly with it :D

Also, the board is deffo meant to have a 760g, not a 780g :D

You may have been right the first time. It is possible the AMD 760G is being mistaken as a 780G. The programs that display this information may not be able to tell the difference. I think the the 760G is just a stripped down version of the 780G and was created to save money.

In looking at Gigabyte boards it looks like some their AM2+ boards use the 760G or 780G chipsets. Some of their AM3 and AM3+ boards use the 760G chipset but none of them used the 780G chipset.

The two chipsets do have different integrated graphics:
760G has ATI Radian HD 3000 graphics
780G has ATI Radian HD 3200 graphics

I would have agreed its the 760g, but the fact that AMD overdrive runs shows it must be a 780g as the 760 wont even load overdrive.

They use whatever they still have in stock to not waste them :)
Cost wise at so many years after AMD 7xx chipset invention it s all the same it s 760 or 780.
They just want them out of stock :)
