    Foxconn 955X7AA, Intel LGA 775 Motherboard Review - Game Benchmarks


    (Page 7 of 8 )

    Game Benchmarks

    Far Cry is starting to show its age by now, but it still can pull the weak hardware from the strong.

    49.24

    4.7%

    These scores were averaged over many trials, but still the 1024x768 results look like a fluke. The performance improvement from stock to overclocked seems to stick around 4.7%.

    Our newest game with a built-in benchmarking feature is F.E.A.R.

    This is the best gaming improvement yet on this system. F.E.A.R. must rely on a lot more than the video card, because the system overclock buys us an average of a 6% performance improvement.
