Sapphire has taken the same budget chipset, and surrendered to its low cost nature. Bar the solid state capacitors, cost saving steps have been made all over, from the reduced board size, resulting in cramped SATA ports, to a simplistic cooling solution and an under featured BIOS, the signs are everywhere that this is a budget board. While no price has been confirmed for the AM2RX780 as of yet (we're still waiting to hear back from Sapphire with final details and we'll add an addendum once the price has been confirmed) its rumoured to launch at £60. In its current state it would be difficult to recommend at even £50, and compared to the AX78 seems very poor value unless you're planning on building a CrossFire based PC
