At lower resolutions, we're clearly limited by the processor rather than video card, however the MX 400's extra horsepower does manage to pull it a few frames ahead of the Kyro.

At 1024x768, we're becoming limited more by the video card than the processor. Here the GeForce based cards do well in 16-bit color, but take heavy penalties in 32-bit as they become limited by memory bandwidth. This is particularly apparent on the MX card. The Kryo II, while lagging in 16-bit, performs wonderfully in 32-bit, hardly dropping a single frame.

Here we have the same again, as the MX 400 outperforms the Kyro in 16-bit (marginally), but begins to lag severely in 32-bit color, hindered by the mere 2.8GB/s worth of memory bandwidth.
