Let's take a look at the suite of Benchmark tests by Futuremark first. Futuremark is the company behind of some of today’s most exciting real-time 3D content and innovative web applications.

First, we take a look at the industry-recognized 3D Mark Series:

In 3D Mark scores, the difference between the Shuttle SD11G5 and the Aopen 915GM is less than 1%. This is negligible and we feel that the Shuttle as a SFF should be praised for keeping up with a Desktop board so well.

While 3D Mark stresses on the graphics capabilities of a system, PC Mark is a more all-rounded test. From the read/write capability to the memory performance of a system, it thoroughly explores your computer.

Again we see the Shuttle lagging behind by less than 1%. It is not visible at all, this small a margin of difference.
