DX10 Motherboard IGP Benchmarks: Call of Juarez, Crysis
While Call
of Juarez pulls off all the classic FPS mechanisms with aplomb, it also features
interesting variations that give it the air and feel of a true Western movie.
The player has the genuine impression of being a pistol-packing hero in an age
when armed confrontation was the daily grind for many adventurers. The
Developers have incorporated a classic shooting system as well as two extra game
modes.

This DX10
benchmark also demonstrates just how much further integrated graphics need to go
before they can really be used for serious gaming. Call of Juarez remains
unplayable for both low and high settings on any of the integrated chipsets....
although it DOES actually run.
This
fast-paced third person shooter takes you across the vast and frozen landscape
of E.D.N III. The ability to fight stealthily on-foot or from within heavily
armored Vital Suits offer two unique modes of game play. While on foot, use the
zip line to get to strategic enemy annihilating vantage points and discover
unexplored areas and weapons. Or, jump into our vital suit or hijack an enemy
Snow Pirate's VS to go head to head with enormous and more powerful Acrid
foes.

Lost Planet is
tough on the nForce 750a SLi IGP, although the Biostar TPower N750 does manage
to crank out three frames per second on low quality settings. No other
motherboard finished this test on its integrated graphics chip alone.
Crysis is a
science fiction first-person shooter developed by Crytek. Crysis uses
Microsoft's new API, DirectX 10 for graphics rendering, and includes the new
engine—the CryEngine 2—that is the successor to Far Cry's CryEngine. CryEngine 2
is among the first engines to use the DirectX 10 framework of Windows Vista, but
can also run using DirectX 9, both on Vista and Windows XP.

The Biostar TPower
N750's on board graphics scores are a little bit slower than what you'd get with
an integrated Radeon HD 3300, but neither are exactly playable in Crysis anyway.
The best results are attained by AMD's very own 790GX IGP.
The final
thoughts on the Biostar TPower N750 motherboard are next: Is it worth the
price?
