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.

The ECS PF88 Extreme is not intended to be a high-end
gamers platform so it is not a surprise to see it come in last by a small
margin.

Athlon64 platforms all perform roughly the same on this
benchmark, including the ECS PF88 Extreme.
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.

We were very surprised to see these results and yes, we
did rerun the tests a few times. Hopefully this is a driver issue.

Drivers do not seem to be a problem on the AMD side of
the benchmark, and the ECS PF88 Extreme performs very well!
