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.

It should be pretty clear, if you are a gamer dual core
processors bring almost nothing to the table (right now). The Albatron PX915SLI
does come in last in Comanche 4, but that is most likely due to the lower
DDR memory bandwidth.
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.

I am rather impressed with the X2: The Threat numbers,
the Albatron PX915SLI is able to keeping up with much faster systems without
much effort!
