In
AquaMark3 the performance difference between the platforms is much closer. You
wouldn't notice the difference when gaming.
The Comanche 4 benchmark demo is a unique benchmark
as it represents a real-world gaming experience. It contains the single player
"Eagle's Talon" mission from the game as well as a detailed cinematic. This
DirectX 8.1 benchmark demo will measure your system's performance in the
standard frames per second format. The benchmark was run with audio disabled.

Performance with the onboard videocard produces acceptable
framerates but the game won't look very good. When using an AGP videocard
performance is much better close to that of the Albatron PX875P Pro.
