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 results are definitely below what we expect. The
Intel X38 Express is still in its infancy so it may have some teething problems
that have yet to be addressed.
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.

The Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 does very well here in Doom 3,
it outperforms the other platforms handily here.
Quake 4 is the latest shooter from ID and is based on the
Doom 3 engine. Tweaked to for more eye candy, Quake 4 promises to be tougher on
videocards and systems than its predecessor was. Quake 4 also does not have a 60
fps limiter like Doom 3, with the Ultra setting, graphic textures can surpass
the 500MB mark! Each test is run three times and with the third run being
recorded.

Things are much closer in Quake 4, but the Gigabyte
GA-X38-DQ6 still comes out on top.
