Here are the tests for the game we were most looking forward to testing, World of Warcraft. We did this with FRAPS and obtained very repeatable results running around a city in the same path. In case you missed it, these are with settings MAXED out in World of Warcraft. That's not saying a whole lot but the fact you can max out every graphic setting in WoW and obtain 23.5fps with a cheaper 4850e X2 or 28.9 fps if you want to overclock is quite excellent for integrated graphics and should allow people to build very cheap WoW PCs. Not only that but WoW shows some of the biggest boosts we've seen yet from Hybrid Graphics. Hybrid Graphics shows 42.1 fps at 1024x768 as opposed to 32fps of only a Radeon 3450, around a 40% gain. The Phenom 9600 doesn't show a huge gain with no real SMP support in WoW.

Counter-Strike is another mainstream PC title where the 780G's integrated graphics performance will be closely looked at. For the record everything was set to high and color correction was also enabled.  As you can see again we're seeing some great numbers with the Counter-Strike Source engine at fairly high settings. 30.3fps with just a standard 780G and an Athlon X2 4850e and with Phenom 9600 adding on seven. Hybrid Graphics does better at 1600x1200 than at 1280x1024 allowing one to game at a much higher resolution with Counter-Strike: Source.
