Intel's X4500HD IGP doesn't do too badly with the DX9 codepath but performance nosedives as DX10 is activated.
NVIDIA has a rich heritage of GPU design and is able to correctly render the DX10 test, albeit at a slightly jerky framerate.
We tried running Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts with DX9 and 4xAA enabled. The MSI GeForce 9300 returned a score of 24.67fps. Intel's IGP failed to run the test.
| Enemy Territory: Quake Wars - IGP - 1,024x768 - 0xAA | |
|---|---|
| MSI P7NGM Digital (GF 9300) | Intel DG45ID (X4500HD) |
| 57.03 | 11.2 |
| Quake 4 v1.30 - IGP - 1,024x768 - 0xAA | |
|---|---|
| MSI P7NGM Digital (GF 9300) | Intel DG45ID (X4500HD) |
| 60.59 | 38.41 |
The GeForce 9300 is over 5x faster than the X4500HD in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars! Scary, huh?
Remember that this is the slower MCP7A SKU: the GeForce 9400 is, on paper, some 25 per cent faster.
