id remains the last holdout with purely Open GL graphics engine but even that looks to be possibly be changing with their new game engine. For now though Open GL is in use with Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. Here at normal settings and at low resolutions the 780G is not quite playable. You can go to even lower graphics settings but it doesn't look too great. If you're wanting to play Quake Wars online you'll either have to drop to the lowest settings with the 780G or upgrade to a better graphics card. That said performance still easily outclasses the previous generation of integrated graphics.

Battlefield 2 is a very popular shooter that hits both the mainstream and hardcore PC gamer market and as such we thought it was important to run through a benchmark of it. We obtained this in a run through with FRAPS. As you can see the 780G is more than playable at "High Settings" with no AA enabled coming in at 35fps and the Phenom at 43 fps.

Finally we cap things off with a look at Futuremark's synthetic benchmark, 3DMark 2006. The numbers aren't very impressive but here we do see a larger boost thanks to Hybrid Graphics.
