Motherboard Benchmarks: FarCry, Doom 3
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 framerates are nice and high. You can turn the
Asus M2N32 WS Professional motherboard into a gaming machine by simply
installing a good videocard.
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.

Doom 3 framerates hover around 145FPS, the Asus M2N32 WS
Professional handles no better or no worse than the reference boards here.
Thanks to AMD integrating the memory controller onto the processor, all
platforms perform very consistently.
