I think the best integrated nvidia with an AMD board is the 8300. I
believe it is basically like an integrated version of the discrete
8400. I recall people saying that it works fine except that like the
8400 you can't do Advanced 2x deinterlacing.  This is the only board
on newegg that had AM3 and an 8300:
