We're testing performance with the lowest IQ settings available through the in-game controls. It doesn't look pretty at 1,024x768, folks.

Performing practically identically to a 780G, as the Radeon HD 4200 IGP is clocked in at the same core speed, gaming is acceptable until we run the DX10 render. 790GX is up to 40 per cent faster. Note how the G45's X4500 HD's performance just nosedives.

And it takes another beating in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.
