AquaMark3
is a powerful tool to determine reliable information about the gaming
performance of a computer system. Because the
benchmark extensively utilizes DirectX9, DirectX8 and DirectX7 functionality, it
represents the requirements of typical gaming applications in 2003 and 2004.
In
AquaMark3 the Intel Extreme Graphics card would simply not run the DX9
benchmark. Performance with an external videocard looks pretty good
though.
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.
Comanche 4
requires a DX8 compatible videocard thus, the Intel Extreme Graphics 2 would not
run this benchmark either. Stock performance of the AOpen AX4SG Max II is pretty
good.
