PERFORMANCE vs. Other Systems
3D Mark06 is a benchmarking software designed to measure the performance of a system in DirectX9 applications. The test has long been updated with newer version of the software for more modern use but results are still relevant.
3DMark Vantage is the successor to 3DMark 06 and is targeted for DirectX10 compliant devices. Performance test was used for this test.
Ungine’s Heaven benchmark is a DirectX application designed to measure the performance of a system in game-like loads.
3DMark 11 is the most recent iteration (not counting the version for the upcoming Windows 8) of the popular benchmarking software from Futuremark. For this test we run the Performance preset of the benchmark which comes with the free version of 3DMark 11 which should present a more reproducible scenario for a lot of people.
As we’ve seen on our previous test with the HD4000 on the Intel desktop system, 3DMark 11 keeps crashing. With the U2442V, the GT640M GPU takes over the IGP duties which gives us some very nice figures.
At a glance:Â Yeah, totally pointless comparison data but let’s focus on the bare-bones IGP system vs. the stock MSI system we have. We can see that slapping the N670 supercharged our results to around 900% in graphic-dependent tasks.
