IGP vs. IGP DX11 Gaming: 3DMark 11, Stalker, Heaven 2.0

PCSTATS Benchmark ReportFuturemark 3DMark 11 - DX11 (IGP vs. IGP)
Performance: (P) Points Ranking
Biostar TA75M+ (Radeon HD 6550D IGP) 1000
Gigabyte GA-A75-UD4H (Radeon HD 6550D IGP) 1024
Gigabyte GA-A75M-UD2H (Radeon HD 6550D IGP) 1028
Extreme: (X) Points Ranking
Biostar TA75M+ (Radeon HD 6550D IGP) 311
Gigabyte GA-A75-UD4H (Radeon HD 6550D IGP) 319
Gigabyte GA-A75M-UD2H (Radeon HD 6550D IGP) 310

Since none of the previous Intel or AMD IGPs are DX11 compatible, the Radeon HD 6550D goes alone against itself in 3DMark 11. A score of (P)1000 in 3DMark11 is about 1/4th of what a Geforce GTX470 will yield. Still, pretty decent for a mainstream level of playability. PCSTATS was surprised that the Radeon HD 6550D IGP was able to achieve (X)311 in the Extreme portion of 3DMark 11....

Next up, STALKER - let's see how the AMD Fusion A8-3850's IGP stands up against other integrated graphics solutions in this DX11 first person shooter.

Gigabyte GA-A75M-UD2H (Radeon HD 6550D IGP) 4.3494

Since the Radeon HD 6550D is the first DirectX11 compliant IGP there's nothing for PCSTATS to compare it against. As you can see here, the AMD A8-3850 IGP is barely able to break 5FPS.

Heaven 2.0 reacts a little differently than you might expect as it will run in DX10 mode or DX11 depending on the IGP's capabilities. While the Intel HD 3000 IGP and Radeon HD 6550D IGP achieve nearly identical results (surprisingly), the image quality is in AMD's favour. Both solutions are sloooow.
