Graphics card performance 1080p

Graphics card performance

The game offers several quality settings and modes. At 1920x1080 even entry-level to mainstream graphics cards achieve very good frame-rates at the best possible settings. Visually there is little difference in-between the normal to the most complex mode settings. Let's start off with Full HD test the graphics cards based on the quality settings we've shown you. 

Our benchmark shows a view of the actual city center, correspondingly residential buildings can be seen. This was the result of nearly 2 hours of gameplay, so the population is high at just over 2,000. Mind you that with Anno 1800 everything is relative if your population hits 10k or more, your performance will go down. And if you reach massive cities on several islands after a week or so gameplay, that perf hit could be half of what you are seeing here.

AMD Radeon, as mentioned. AMD did not provide an optimized driver for the open beta, and that shows as they take quite a perf hit compared to the optimized driver that NVIDIA has made public. We'll be revisiting results however once a new driver is out.
