DX11: Middle Earth Shadow Mordor

Middle Earth: Shadow Mordor Benchmarks

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is an action role-playing video game set in The Lord of the Rings universe, developed by Monolith Productions and released by Warner Bros. The game takes place during the gap between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings saga. We set image quality to in-game 'Very High'. Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor has a built in benchmark. It is not exactly the most precise tool in the shed, therefore you should always keep a variance of roughly 5% in mind. You can run this benchmark 3 times and all times the results can differ slightly. Also switching in-between quality modes and restarting the game often results in the game forcing old image quality settings again. We'll see how this benchmark is going to develop in the future though.

A problem with this game title is that we cannot switch to 1080P or any other known resolution other than 2560x1440 unless we physically swap out the monitor. Hence initially I wanted to drop this title from the benchmark suite, but I decided that from here on we will simply include results, but only in 2560x1440 as hey, it is a good reproducible benchmark for you guys as well.

More comparative results to other cards will be added in the future. The game was recently released and I wanted to simply give an impression of what you may expect performance wise. We find the Ultra quality settings to be very heavy on VRAM with the internal benchmark, as such we recommend Very High quality settings to use and compare to.
