Cinebench R10 is an OpenGL 3D rendering performance test based on Cinema 4D. Cinema 4D from Maxon is a 3D rendering and animation tool suite used by 3D animation houses and producers like Sony Animation and many others. It's very demanding of system processor resources and is an excellent gauge of pure computational throughput.

| Cinebench R10 Performance Tests |
| 3D Modeling & Rendering Tests | |
This is a multi-threaded, multi-processor aware benchmark that renders a single 3D scene and tracks the length of the entire process. The time it took each test system to render the entire scene is represented in the graph below, listed in seconds.
Like POV-Ray, the performance results reported by the Cinebench R10 benchmark were a virtual tie. In both the single and multi-threaded tests, only a few points separate the three test systems.

| Futuremark 3DMark06 - CPU Test |
| Simulated DirectX Gaming Performance | |
3DMark06's built-in CPU test is a multi-threaded DirectX gaming metric that's useful for comparing relative performance between similarly equipped systems. This test consists of two different 3D scenes that are processed with a software renderer that is dependent on the host CPU's performance. Calculations that are normally reserved for your 3D accelerator are instead sent to the CPU for processing and rendering. The frame-rate generated in each test is used to determine the final score.
3DMark06's CPU performance module put the X38 chipset about 150+ points, or approximately, 3% ahead of the nForce 780i SLI and 680i SLI.
