We'll be comparing the FIC P4M-RS350's 9100 IGP Pro's performance directly against a 9600 XT. While there will be no surprises in the performance deltas, we did want to choose what we felt was a realistic card people would choose to go with the motherboard given its price point (and not VPU power).

ATI 9100 Pro IGP Testing (Video)

UT 2004
Call of Duty
Quake 3
Doom 3

Unreal Tournament 2004: (DirectX) dm-rankin

Unreal Tournament 2004: (DirectX) as-convoy

The ATI 9100 Pro IGP surprisingly displays UT2K4 well enough to be played, not a bad accomplishment for an integrated graphics card. You don't, however, want to stray beyond 800x600, as you drop into the 20's beyond that.

Not surprisingly, the ATI 9600xt outperforms (this should be a theme), I just wanted to show you to what level you could expect graphics support for your games.

Call of Duty: (OpenGL) Custom VL_brecourt

This is Viperlairs homemade demo so we could get a more realistic game play result. The results of which, well, lets say they were less than flattering to the 9100 Pro IGP (insert graph from FIC P4M.xls CoD Section).
The 9100 Pro IGP is, for the most part, unplayable. Even at 800x600 we only achieve 14.5 FPS, if you play CoD, be prepared to purchase an add on card if you get this motherboard.

Quake III: (OpenGL) four.dm_67

The 9100 Pro IGP plays Quake III well enough to be played at 1024x768 resolution. Even though CoD (where the 9100 Pro struggles) uses a modified Quake3 engine, it appears the 9100 Pro IGP has no issues in getting the framerates up to playability in the original.

Doom 3: (OpenGL) Demo 1

Ouch. There will be no Doom 3 for you if you stick with the onboard video.
