Biostar Announces the Hi-Fi A85W 3D Socket FM2 Mobo
The Biostar Hi-Fi A85W 3D is a socket FM2 motherboard that integrates the company’s in-house “Hi-Fi 3D” audio technology.
Biostar has launched the Hi-Fi A85W 3D motherboard which features an FM2 socket, an ATX form factor, and the company’s in-house “Hi-Fi 3D” audio technology.
The tech aims to enable “high definition multi-dimensional sound” and offers a built-in 3D amplifier with over 100 dB load and up to 600 ohm impedance, a sampling rate of 192 kHz / 24-bit, and a Hi-V metalized polypropylene film capacitor for each audio channel circuit with a wide bandwidth and low distortion and noise.
Also included is a suite of software tools including six different types of 3D Sound Fields, Smart Ear 3D that provides “true reproduction of a virtual 3D space using any typical set of headphones” and Smart ?, an exclusive function that automatically assigns a gain and impedance range that is appropriate to your headphones.
Aside from these audio enhancements, the Hi-Fi A85W 3D is identical to the standard A85W motherboard and includes four DIMMs with a support for up to 64 GB of DDR3-2400, eight SATA3 connectors, a Realtek RTL8111F LAN controller, two USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0 ports. With regard to expansion, the motherboard features two PCIe x16 2.0 (x16 + x4) slots, two PCIe x1 2.0 slots and two legacy PCI slots.
I'm not saying they're great, I'm just saying that they do what they have to do.

Having videocards would sub the integrated as they take like 10watts in 2d mode... Rendering the fm2 useless...
