Thanks to DX10.1 support the M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 is one of the few motherboards that can run 3DMark Vantage on its IGP, also scoring the highest out of the IGPs listed.

Sierra FEAR 1.08

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.
