Gaming Performance
Now I thought what would happen if someone wanted to use the Hush as an
occasional gaming rig, how would they get on? I tried the Hush out in Quake
3 Arena 1.32 which is going to be a major test for any on-board graphics.
Playing at the very lowest resolution available, the game was playable
but on a large monitor or it's going to look horrific at 640x480. It was a
bit slow but only when there was lots of action on the screen. I then
tried out some timedemo's to give it a big test and I used very intense demo's
where lots happens and here are the results:
- Fastest (Resolution: 512x384) = 17.7 FPS
- Normal (Resolution: 640x480) = 13.6 FPS
- High Quality (Resolution: 800x600) = 13.6 FPS
Performance Conclusion
In summation the performance is not going to win any awards, anything that requires serious CPU or graphical grunt is not possible due to the lack of processing muscle. It's going to be ok for DivX or DVD playback however.
