NVIDIA GeForce 9300 and 9400 Motherboard GPUs
Cinebench and 3DMark06
Cinebench R10 is an OpenGL 3D rendering performance test based on Cinema 4D. Cinema 4D from Maxon is a 3D rendering and animation tool suite used by 3D animation houses and producers like Sony Animation and many others. It's very demanding of system processor resources and is an excellent gauge of pure computational throughput.

This is a multi-threaded, multi-processor aware benchmark that renders a single 3D scene and tracks the length of the entire process. The time it took each test system to render the entire scene is represented in the graph below, listed in seconds.
Unlike the Kribibench rendering tests on the previous page, the Cinbench R10 benchmark had the GeForce 9300-based motherboards out in front of the Intel G45 by a few points in the multi-threaded test. In the single-threaded test, however, the G45 was a bit ahead.

3DMark06's built-in CPU test is a multi-threaded DirectX gaming metric that's useful for comparing relative performance between similarly equipped systems. This test consists of two different 3D scenes that are processed with a software renderer that is dependent on the host CPU's performance. Calculations that are normally reserved for your 3D accelerator are instead sent to the CPU for processing and rendering. The frame-rate generated in each test is used to determine the final score.
3DMark06's built-in CPU benchmark reported scores for Asus and Zotac GeForce 9300-based motherboards that were just slightly better than the Intel G45.
