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.

The
FarCry framerate results for the MSI P965 Platinum are interesting - the
score is just slightly lower than other motherboards of the same class. I'm not
sure what the issue is, in any case the framerate is still very high and will no
doubt keep gamers happy.
Doom 3
takes advantage of the latest videocard technology and pushes the processing
power of the CPU to its absolute limit. At its highest setting, Ultra quality,
texture sizes pass the 500MB mark which means even tomorrow's videocards will
have a hard time running everything. The frame rates in the game itself are
locked at 60 fps so anything above that point is wasted. Each test is run three
times with the third run being recorded.

Framerates are nice and high in Doom 3, perhaps that FarCry
result was just a blip. In any case the performance is there as long as you
equip the MSI P965 Platinum with a strong videocard.
