Gaming Tests
3DMark Vantage
A reliable and popular benchmark, 3DMark Vantage can provide a good insight into overall gaming performance of a system.
Crysis Warhead
One of the most visually impressive games ever built, Crysis Warhead also has an incredibly realistic physics and simulation engine.
Far Cry 2
Far Cry 2 pairs impressive visuals with a truly interactive and destructible environment.
The massive performance differences between these three boards are due to us using onboard video via the Radeon HD 3300 graphics chip with the 790GX chipset versus our NVIDIA 9800GTX+ video card. We wanted to show the differences between onboard video and using an external solution because the hD 3300 is actually a decent onboard video solution for those looking to do some basic gaming at decent resolutions. We wouldn’t recommend them for Far Cry 2, but our Crysis results suggest it can handle gaming at lower resolutions.
