The performance trend exhibited in professional 3D applications is similar to that of 3D gaming. POVray does not utilize any hardware assistance and thus the rendering times for the 1024x768 chess set are the same.

SPECviewperf is a portable OpenGL performance benchmark program which provides a vast amount of flexibility in benchmarking OpenGL performance. The SPECviewperf suite consists of 6 viewsets, each corresponding to a particular application, eg. Intergraph's DesignReview (DRV), IBM's Data Explorer (DX) and Alias/Wavefront's Advanced Visualizer.

In the Alias/Wavefront viewset, the 845 and 845G come to a tie, while the Intel Extreme Graphics achieves roughly 85% of the GF2 MX400's performance level.

In the remaining viewsets, the integrated graphics consistently lagged the GF2 MX400. However, this performance disparity disappears in the ProCDRS viewset.
