The ECS G33T-M2 motherboard is based on Intel's news integrated graphics chipset, the G33 Express, and like the Intel P35 Express makes an awesome duo when paired with a dual core Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

Motherboard Benchmarks: Doom 3, FEAR
Doom 3 takes
advantage of the latest videocard technology and pushes the processing power of
the CPU to its absolute limit. At its highest setting, Ultra quality, texture
sizes pass the 500MB mark which means even tomorrow's videocards will have a
hard time running everything. The frame rates in the game itself are locked at
60 fps so anything above that point is wasted. Each test is run three times with
the third run being recorded.

Doom 3 framerates illustrate the Intel Core 2 Duo's power,
the board comes out on top when for integrated graphics. If you want
to really play games, do yourself a favor and get a standalone videocard like
the Geforce 8800GTS.

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 last test of the day, FEAR, shows us that a PCI
Express x16 based videocard is better to play with than any form of integrated
video. When the ECS motherboard is equipped with the GeForce 8800GTS 320MB
videocard, performance is dramatically improved.
