Benchmarks: Comanche 4, X2: The Threat

Comanche 4 Source: Novalogic

The Comanche 4 benchmark demo is a unique test 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
640x480 FPS Ranking
Albatron K8X890 Pro II (K8T890 200/400) 81.5
MSI RS480M2-IL (RS480 200/400) 79.5
Chaintech Zenith VNF4 Ultra (NF4 Ultra 200/400) 82.97
DFI LANParty NF4 SLI-DR (NF4 SLI 200/400 7800GTX) 82.62
DFI LANParty NF4 SLI-DR (NF4 SLI 200/400 7800GTX SLI) 81.6
Epox 9NPA+ SLI (NF4 SLI 200/400 7800GTX) 82.81
Epox 9NPA+ SLI (NF4 SLI 200/400 7800GTX SLI) 80.05

Comanche 4 numbers are respectable and what we would expect from an Athlon64 system.

X2: The Threat Source: Egosoft

A completely rewritten 3D engine based on DirectX8 encompasses many visual effects such as volumetric Nebulae (gas clouds) that have a real impact in the game (you can hide in them) and many new engine, shield, weapon and explosion effects. Objects cast real dynamic 3D shadows! Dynamic DP3 bump mapping allows a previously unseen level of detail.

X2 The Threat
640x480 FPS Ranking
Albatron K8X890 Pro II (K8T890 200/400) 198.165
MSI RS480M2-IL (RS480 200/400) 186.798
Chaintech Zenith VNF4 Ultra (NF4 Ultra 200/400) 201.418
DFI LANParty NF4 SLI-DR (NF4 SLI 200/400 7800GTX) 216.091
DFI LANParty NF4 SLI-DR (NF4 SLI 200/400 7800GTX SLI) 245.341
Epox 9NPA+ SLI (NF4 SLI 200/400 7800GTX) 201.013
Epox 9NPA+ SLI (NF4 SLI 200/400 7800GTX SLI) 239.701

X2: The Threat numbers from the Epox motherboard are slightly lower than that of the DFI motherboard.
