Benchmarks: Comanche 4, X2: The Threat

Comanche 4 Source: Novalogic

The Comanche 4 benchmark demo is a unique benchmark as it represents a real-world gaming experience. It contains the single player "Eagle's Talon" mission from the game as well as a detailed cinematic. This DirectX 8.1 benchmark demo will measure your system's performance in the standard frames per second format. The benchmark was run with audio disabled.

Comanche 4 says the same thing as the other 3D benchmarks have been telling us, and that is that Socket 939 Athlon64 motherboards like the Asus A8V are damn fast!

X2: The Threat Source: Egosoft

A completely rewritten 3D engine based on DirectX8 encompasses many visual effects such as volumetric Nebulae (gas clouds) that have a real impact in the game (you can hide in them), many new engine, shield, weapon and explosion effects. Objects cast real dynamic 3D shadows! Dynamic DP3 bump mapping allows a previously unseen level of detail.

I reran the overclocked system a few times to make sure that the frame rates we were getting were correct. At stock speeds, the nVIDIA based Gigabyte K8NSNXP-939 produces frame rates a bit lower than the Asus A8V.
