3DMark06, FarCry, X3: Reunion

3DMark06 is the worldwide standard in advanced 3D game performance benchmarking. A fundamental tool for every company in the PC industry as well as PC users and gamers, 3DMark06 uses advanced real-time 3D game workloads to measure PC performance using a suite of DirectX 9 3D graphics tests, CPU tests, and 3D feature tests. 3DMark06 tests include all new HDR/SM3.0 graphics tests, SM2.0 graphics tests, AI and physics driven single and multiple cores or processor CPU tests and a collection of comprehensive feature tests to reliably measure next generation gaming performance today.

3DMark06
Overall: Points Ranking
Foxconn 975X7AA-8EKRS2H (975X 200/667) 4346
Asus M2N32-SLI DLX (NF 590 SLI 200/800) 4483
Shuttle XPC SN27P2 (NF 570 200/800) 4436
CPU: Points Ranking
Foxconn 975X7AA-8EKRS2H (975X 200/667) 1590
Asus M2N32-SLI DLX (NF 590 SLI 200/800) 1939
Shuttle XPC SN27P2 (NF 570 200/800) 1951

The results are too close to call between each Socket AM2 platform here. The 3D performance is excellent with a Geforce 7800GTX installed.

FarCry Source: Ubisoft

Real-time editing, bump mapping, static lights, network system, integrated physics system, shaders, shadows, and a dynamic music system are just some of the state of-the-art features that the CryENGINE offers. The game was set to Ultra quality and the Ubisoft's Regulator demo was run.

FarCry
Regulator LQ 640x480 FPS Ranking
Foxconn 975X7AA-8EKRS2H (975X 200/667) 149.91
Asus M2N32-SLI DLX (NF 590 SLI 200/800) 183.86
Shuttle XPC SN27P2 (NF 570 200/800) 178.47

The Shuttle XPC SN27P2 trails the Asus motherboard ever so slightly in Farcry. It's still quiet a bit faster than the Foxconn 975X7AA-8EKRS2H and Intel Pentium D 940 combo.

X3: Reunion

Foxconn 975X7AA-8EKRS2H (975X 200/667) 58.146
Asus M2N32-SLI DLX (NF 590 SLI 200/800) 73.743
Shuttle XPC SN27P2 (NF 570 200/800) 60.867

This is interesting - the Shuttle XPC SN27P2 trails the Asus motherboard by about 13 FPS.
