That's more like it! The Gigabyte GA-8I945P Pro inches past the rest of the test group to post the highest score in 3DMark 2005. The board also dominates the CPU portion, which is not surprising considering the dual-core processor it's using.

Comanche 4 Source: Novalogic

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.
