Shuttle ST20G5

Gaming Performance

Summary:

We found the the IGP was not capable of playing games at the higher detail settings - it either wouldn't run it or we were limited to a slide show. This was somewhat expected, due to the lack of horsepower that the IGP delivers with its ability to write only two pixels per clock. We found that both Far Cry and Doom 3 were too much for the Radeon X300-based onboard video, but some older titles should be playable with conservative detail settings.

On installing the GeForce 6800 GT, the ST20G5 performed as well as another other platform we have used thus far - we have no doubts that this chassis can form the basis of a very capable gaming platform.
