Advanced on-board graphics put AMD’s Llano-based APU far ahead of Intel’s Sandy Bridge architecture, at least when it comes to 3D apps. But you’ll still need a new motherboard to support the Socket FM1 platform. Today we test six affordable contenders.

Benchmark Results: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Though it’s a popular title, Call of Duty has a reputation for presenting a light system load that makes it easy to play on nearly any combination of well-balanced hardware.

Even at 1600x900, CoD is completely playable using AMD’s integrated graphics engine. Asus retains its lead.

The addition of AA gets us closer to the graphics engine’s limits, yet there’s still enough room to enable additional features without sacrificing perceived smoothness.
