Integrated graphics tests are important only to those wanting to see if it’ll run the latest games but I felt it was necessary to enable Hybrid SLI to show off the new feature. Anyone wanting a discrete graphics card is not likely wanting to spend the extra $80 on an 8500GT when the motherboard by itself costs $100 with integrated graphics. One note, that to ensure the integrated graphics has the maximum memory available to it I used 3GB of DDR2-1066MHz Crucial Tracer memory instead of the 2GB in our standard tests.
Test System
- AMD Phenom X4 9850+ CPU
