Asus M4A785TD-V EVO 785G ATX Preview
Gaming Performance
Once again, I must reiterate that while the Radeon HD 3450 256mb Graphics Card that we used has a lot in common with the integrated Radeon HD 4200 IGP in the 785G, it would be unfair to say that they are equal in performance.
Far Cry 2 performed reasonably well for a modern hit, occasionally becoming a bit unplayable in dense areas of trees or buildings. I suspect that the Phenom II X4 905e helped hold up the frame rates.
Call of Duty, a slightly older hit performed very well. Aside a couple of moments of abrupt game play, the performance was fluid and reasonably consistent to hold up the game.
GRID, regardless of reducing it’s on screen resolution simply didn’t bode well with our test setup. For most of the part, the performance was less than mediocre.
See over the page for initial thoughts.
