Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H 780G Drivers

[StarsFan4Life]

I was wondering if VIA put out a newer or later driver set then what is listed on Gigabytes website (http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/Driver_Model.aspx?ProductID=2758). I just got this bad boy and installed it and everything is running great. I want to make sure I get the latest drivers for it.

Any help?

780G is an AMD/ATi chipset so VIA has nothing to do with it.
Just get the latest ATi Catalyst & that should cover you for chipset/gfx drivers.

Audio & LAN are Realtek so you neeed to get your drivers for those from their site.

Anyway you can link me to the Audio and Lan? I am using a Nvidia 8600gts 512mb PCIE card instead of the onboard.

It looks like the audio and LAN are from realtek. Their website is www.realtek.com.tw and Gigabyte specification list says they are:

Realtek 8111C chip (10/100/1000 Mbit)
http://122.146.118.42/downloads/dow...d=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

Realtek ALC889A codec
http://122.146.118.42/downloads/dow...=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

Those are probably the right links, Realtek's site can be a little tricky.

So, I have NOT installed the video drivers, instead I am using my 8600GTS. Do I need to install the gfx drivers for the onboard card in order to get the correct "chipset" drivers for the motherboard, or can these be found elsewhere?

video driver are the chipset drivers.

I was looking at the GA-MA78GM-S2H, but I decided to get the GA-MA78G-DS3H instead. It still uses the same 780g chipset though. Don't you have the driver cd that came with the mobod, or did you get an open box mobod? The cd I got with my gigabyte looks like it's the same as the cd for your mobod, since it says "6-quad/s-series" on the cd, which means it is probably used throughout the 780g chipset mobod line that gigabyte has.

That single driver acts like an nforce driver, where it either automatically detects what needs to be installed, or you can manually select it (it's been awhile since I've seen it in action). I'd install it even if you don't plan on actively using the onboard card. It certainly won't hurt.
