3DMark 2001SE, SS2, C4
Gaming begins with a look at 3DMark 2001SE b330. A Radeon 9800 Pro compliments the other high-powered components here.
Two things to note here. Firstly it's the 700-odd mark increase from the SB65G2's benchmark. It's solely down to a BIOS that focuses more on performance. The other interesting aspect is the score obtained by the onboard graphics. Previous boards / SFF systems featuring the Extreme 2 graphics have returned results around the 3100 mark. The 500-mark increase can be attributed to the lower latencies of system memory, as it's from here that the integrated graphics steal their bandwidth.

Faster than the SB65G2 and slower than the SN85G4 seems to be the theme in gaming benchmarks.
Comanche 4 requires hardware transform and lighting. That's why the onboard graphics cannot run the test. Decent performance from ABIT's SFF again.
