Here is our current test system.

Since we're dealing with integrated graphics let's start things off with the most popular game of today, World of Warcraft. We used FRAPS in an Elf level where following a repeatable path for this FRAPS capture.

And we're off. Here we see the 790GX come in much higher than the 780G and Hybrid Crossfire with a Radeon 3450 512MB shows phenomenal gains above what we saw previously in HCF with the 780G. The G45 and Nvidia's chipset both do fairly well in this game which isn't too graphically intensive but can't compete with AMD.

Battlefield 2 sits on the edge between a mainstream and hardcore game and is an excellent one to test today's integrated graphics on as it used to push the best graphics cards of a few years ago. One complaint we can see here is lack of Crossfire support though that isn't too surprising with a title this old. AMD's 790GX blows away the 780G here and the rest of the competition regardless though.

Call of Duty 4 is an incredibly popular and modern shooter from Infinity Ward and a title we had to test. Here we see Nvidia and AMD's chipsets clump together with Intel falling behind and meanwhile Hybrid Crossfire again shows a great boost with this newer game. The 790GX still comes out on top though.

What would game benchmarks be without Crysis? Most might know that the 780G is able to play Crysis at low levels so how does 200 extra MHz stack up? Here we see about 5-8 fps gain over the 780G while the G45 absolutely struggles and is full of graphic artifacts.
