FEAR is a DX9 title that demonstrates just how far IGPs have come. The ECS H67H2-M test system scores 32 FPS here, compared to AMD's A8-3850 Fusion APU which wins hands down with a 57FPS result.

In the final round of IGP benchmarks we have Call of Juarez and Crysis....

Call of Juarez is a tough DX10 title for IGPs. The ECS H67H2-M motherboard's cores 24.5 FPS @ 1024x768, 5.5FPS @ 1600x1200. Moral of this story, buy a mainstream discreet graphics card.

Now for Crysis, on IGP!

In Crysis the ECS H67H2-M motherboard and its HD 3000 Sandy Bridge integrated graphics achieve 6.4 FPS. The AMD A8-3850 APU platform nets 14.9FPS at best. Both results are too slow to actually play this game, at these resolutions.

In PCMark Vantage we can see how the CPU-based IGP impacts (or doesn't impact) office application performance. That's up next, then the conclusions.
