Thanks to proper DirectX 10.1 support, we finally have IGPs that won't fail 3DMark Vantage's benchmark. The MSI 785GM-E65 manages only 287 3DMarks on its own though, so it's still got some ways to go before you'll be able to play DX10 games on an integrated motherboard.

Sierra FEAR 1.08

FEAR is Sierra's latest first person shooter which relies heavily on DirectX 9 features. With its "Soft Shadows" feature enabled, even the fastest videocards run at a crawl, FEAR is definitely the new benchmark for future FPS games to follow.

The 500MHz Radeon HD 4200 that graces the MSI 785GM-E65 is a little faster than its predecessor, the 500MHz Radeon HD 3200 of the AMD 780G chipset. However the overclocked (700MHz) Radeon 3300 IGP found in the AMD 790GX chipset still trumps every other AMD chipset.

Of course, none of these integrate graphics processors are capable of playing FEAR on their own.
