While considering the Sandy Bridge/Intel H67 integrated graphics performance charts below, it's wise to remember that PCSTATS is testing with a Core i5 2500KCPU and thus the Intel HD 3000 IGP. This IGP is only DX10.1 compliant, so 3DMark11 and the other DX11 benchmarks will not run. AMD's Radeon HD 6550D graphics core in the socket FM1 A8-3850 APU is DX11 compliant.

The big question for many users is this; "if you have to rely on integrated graphics, is it better to buy the AMD A8-3850 APU + A75 motherboard, or will the Intel Sandy Bridge HD 3000 IGP + H67 chipset do the trick?"

The ASUS P8H67-M Evo motherboard did not fail this DX11 benchmark, rather it was unable to run on the system because Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics are only DX10.1 compliant.

And now onto some IGP benchmarks the Intel HD 3000 will run.
