ASUS U2E: Form vs. Function

3D Graphics Performance

Those that would like to get some idea of how fast the integrated Intel graphics perform will hopefully be satisfied by the 3DMark results. No, these results don't necessarily correlate with real world games in every case, and people don't actually "play" 3DMark. Still, it does serve as a quick reference for what a graphics chip can and cannot handle.

The GMA X3100 is sufficient for casual gaming, and it will run most three or four year old titles at low to medium detail, but if you actually want acceptable gaming performance you will need to look elsewhere.That's perfectly okay, since the ASUS U2E isn't even intended to pass as a gaming system. It will run Windows Vista (or windows XP if you prefer) quite well, and it's very compact and lightweight.

Note that the 3DMark scores are not actually zero - they're just so low relative to the other systems that the labels get pushed into the system name. The actual scores are 3DMark03: 1075, 3DMark05: 592, and 3DMark06: 351.
