Far Cry and F.E.A.R.
Far Cry
With the same clock frequencies as the reference X1300 PRO, PowerColor Radeon X1300 HyperMemory 2 is between 70 and 80% as fast as the discrete card with more memory and all of it on the board. That gives the HyperMemory (although not shown) performance just shy of a non-Pro X1300 in rough terms. The solution is obviously less capable than one with entirely discrete memory, but the performance loss is somewhat sufferable given the price. More on that later.
What you'll see (and what I'll save explaining too much again) is the same rough performance drop in almost any game you care to try. The majority of the time around 70% of the performance of the 'full' X1300 PRO is there.
F.E.A.R.
Baseline results have the HyperMemory board performing where you'd expect, given the explanation above. F.E.A.R. is obviously a tough nut for these low-end boards to crack, and we wouldn't recommend trying to play at 1024x768 on this class of hardware. A notch or two down is the F.E.A.R. playground for these cheap boards. X1600 XT does much much better, as you'd expect.
