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 with a single GeForce 7800GTX are very strong. The motherboard comes in with a very high framerate indeed. Not bad at all for a motherboard that costs a little over $100 CDN!

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 results are also very good and again the ECS MF650iSLIT-A motherboard is proving to be very quick in 3D tests.
