  Anno 2070 VGA Graphics performance review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 1/20/2012

The popular Anno series has been ongoing for many years now always based on history. The franchise decided to jump to the future, 58 years ahead of time. For Anno 2070 the graphics engine has been updated, the game is now DirectX 11 compatible.

  Battlefield 3 VGA and CPU performance benchmark test by Hilbert Hagedoorn 10/29/2011

  Crysis 2 DX11 VGA and CPU performance benchmarks by Hilbert Hagedoorn 7/12/2011

Crysis 2 launched earlier this year I have to admit, I was a little ticked off that the game was only a DX9 title. Hence I did not even bother to purchase it. However a week and a half ago Crytek released a new 1.9 patch, that and bringing DirectX 11 towards the game. And yet another patch was released, a high-resolution texture package. The end-result even baffled a graphics monger like yours truly. Today well be looking at game performance with a graphics card or sixteen. Next to that we'll also have a peek at CPU scaling a little to see on what platform the game runs best.

  Colin McRae Dirt 2 VGA Graphics performance review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 12/8/2009

Last week Codemasters released a two level playable demo allowing you to play the game on both DX9 and DX11 (if you have a Radeon HD series 5000 card that is). Also integrated is a benchmark mode, very handy. Now we'll not be using the standard benchmark yet our own scripted test run in the Ensenada Port circuit set in Baja California level where we can drive through sand, mud and water to measure the most prominent DX11 features like DX11 Hardware tessellation, Geometry instancing and displacement mapping -- plus obviously more complex shader usage. let's go check out both the DX9 and DX11 image quality and performance.

  Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 VGA performance by Hilbert Hagedoorn 11/16/2009
