Comanche 4	Source: Novalogic

The Comanche 4 benchmark demo is a unique test 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 framerates are decent, but 15 frames slower than the competition. Whether you would notice it while gaming is another question.

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) and 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.

The Foxconn WinFast 761GXK8MC-S does extremely well in X2: The Threat with the PCI Express videocard, in fact it is able to beat many faster motherboards using faster processors! Onboard graphics underscore the poor 3D capabilities of the Mirage 1 IGP.
