Anno 2205: PC graphics performance review

Today we review Anno 2205 in relation towards PC gaming graphics card performance. Many graphics cards are being tested and benchmarked. We have a look at performance with the newest graphics cards and technologies. We'll also look at frame-times, graphics memory and a thing or two more. We test with the latest game patch and for AMD Radeon Software Crimson 15.12 driver and for Nvidia their 359.06 GeForce driver.

Yeah I know .. I know ... we're a little late with the performance review. So for a month now I have been wondering, should or shouldn't I test Anno 2205. It is a Ubisoft title and in the past we've had horrendous DRM issues with their games. So I figured it would be best to wait a couple of weeks.  Await and passing the initial game patches and game release start issues. Surprisingly, there have been very little negative sounds coming with the game release and as such this weekend I decided to purchase Anno 2205 and give it a go as RTS (real time strategy) games are my thing gaming wise, and very few good titles are released these days.

Honestly, Anno 2205 surprised me in many ways; no restrictive DRM bothered us, the game runs great if you select the right graphics options and yeah, it looks quite good as well.  We have a look at DX11 performance with the newest graphics cards and technologies. This article will cover benchmarks in the sense of average framerates, we'll look at all popular resolutions scaling from Full HD (1920x1080/1200), WHQD (2560x1440) and of course that big-whopper of a resolution Ultra HD. UHDTV (2160p) is 3840 pixels wide by 2160 pixels tall (8.29 megapixels), which is four times as many pixels as 1920x1080 (2.07 megapixels). 

In Anno 2205, you join humankind‘s next step into the future with the promise to build a better tomorrow. You conquer Earth, establishing rich, bustling cities and grand industrial complexes, but to secure the prosperity of your people, you must travel into space. A scientific breakthrough in fusion energy promises to revolutionise all aspects of society. The necessary isotope, helium-3, can only be found in harvestable quantities on the Moon. Venture into space and settle on the Moon in the thrilling race for resource and power. Anno’s masterful economic gameplay is back and taking strategic city-building simulation to new heights, launching into space!
