SFF Roundup, Part I: Socket 478 and 754 Systems

Gaming Benchmarks

We have chosen two of the big gaming titles for our gaming benchmarks. All tests were done at 1024x768 both with and without 4xAA. We used the standard Demo1 for Doom 3 and the City_17_12 and Canals_08 levels within Half-life 2. The levels chosen for HL2 tend to stress the CPU and system rather than the GPU, so we felt that they were the most useful in terms of benchmarks. It should come as no surprise that the iDEQ leads the other solutions by a large margin in gaming benchmarks - at least when the GPU isn't the bottleneck.
