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.

Crysis 1.2 (no AA) - DirectX10 1024x768 LQ Points Ranking Intel DG45ID (Intel G45 200/800 C2D E6750 GF 8800GTS 320MB) 69.7 Intel DG45ID (Intel G45 200/800 C2D E6750 Onboard G45 ) 6.81 Foxconn A7DA-S (AMD 790GX 200/800 AM2 X2 5000+ GF 8800GTS 320MB) 49.77 Foxconn A7DA-S (AMD 790GX 200/800 AM2 X2 5000+ onboard HD 3300 video) 24.96 Biostar TPower N750 (NF 750a SLI 200/800 AM2 X2 5000+ GF 8800GTS 320MB) 21.41 Biostar TPower N750 (NF 750a SLI 200/800 AM2 X2 5000+ onboard nF 750a video) 3.4 1600x1200 HQ Points Ranking Intel DG45ID (Intel G45 200/800 C2D E6750 GF 8800GTS 320MB) 14.91 Intel DG45ID (Intel G45 200/800 C2D E6750 Onboard G45 ) 1.68 Foxconn A7DA-S (AMD 790GX 200/800 AM2 X2 5000+ GF 8800GTS 320MB) 11.84 Foxconn A7DA-S (AMD 790GX 200/800 AM2 X2 5000+ onboard HD 3300 video) 3.21 Biostar TPower N750 (NF 750a SLI 200/800 AM2 X2 5000+ GF 8800GTS 320MB) 12.64 Biostar TPower N750 (NF 750a SLI 200/800 AM2 X2 5000+ onboard nF 750a video) 1.66

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?
