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.

All systems perform approximately the same which should
not be a surprise since the processor is running the same speed on all
platforms. At this low resolution, the test is entirely system limited that is
why running SLI does not boost FPS.
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.

Performance in X2: The Threat are all over the place and
I am not sure why, I reran the tests on all platforms a couple of times. The MSI
P4N Diamond motherboard does very well here both in single and SLI tests.
