DX10 Motherboard IGP Benchmarks: Call of Juarez, Crysis

Call of Juarez

Source: Techland

While Call of Juarez pulls off all the classic FPS mechanisms with aplomb, it also features interesting variations that give it the air and feel of a true Western movie. The player has the genuine impression of being a pistol-packing hero in an age when armed confrontation was the daily grind for many adventurers. The Developers have incorporated a classic shooting system as well as two extra game modes.

The Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H continues to trail behind the other AMD 785G chipset motherboards in this test (IGP alone). Both the Asus and MSI models tend to do a little bit better here when compared to the micro-ATX Gigabyte motherboard, thanks to built-in Sideport memory.

Crysis 1.2

Source: Electronic Arts

Crysis is a science fiction first-person shooter developed by Crytek. Crysis uses Microsoft's new API, DirectX 10 for graphics rendering, and includes the new engine—the CryEngine 2—that is the successor to Far Cry's CryEngine. CryEngine 2 is among the first engines to use the DirectX 10 framework of Windows Vista, but can also run using DirectX 9, both on Vista and Windows XP.

When paired up with a decent discrete graphics card like the ASUS Geforce GTS250, Crysis is actually quite playable at high resolutions. It's amazing how $500 computer systems can play games that just a year or two ago would choke a $2000 gaming rig.
