The TPower N750's onboard video scores about the same as the TF8200 A2+'s onboard video, which doesn't quite measure up to the performance of AMD's 780G and 790GX integrated chipsets.

The TPower N750 motherboard's scores in 3DMark Vantage indicate some video bandwidth limitations when compared to the AMD 780G and Intel G45 chipsets. All IGP motherboards tested here failed to complete 3DMark Vantage when using the IGP and the default 'Performance' benchmark.

Sierra FEAR 1.08

Source: Sierra

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.

While it does seem like FEAR runs faster on the Biostar TF8200 A2+'s integrated graphics than it does on the Biostar TPower N750's nForce 750a SLI IGP, it's difficult to qualify performance differences when all IGP framerates are so low.
