PowerColor Radeon R9 390 PCS+ 8GB review - DX11: Battlefield Hardline

DX11: Battlefield Hardline

Unlike the previous games in the series, Hardline focuses on crime/heist/policing elements instead of military warfare. Miami is embroiled in a drug war and Officer Nick Mendoza (Nicholas Gonzalez) has just made detective. Alongside his partner, veteran detective Khai Minh Dao (Kelly Hu), he follows the drug supply chain from the streets to the source. In a series of increasingly off-the-books cases the two detectives come to realize that power and corruption can affect both sides of the law. Before we begin with the graphics performance tests a little explanation. We use a time based measurement based upon framerate recording. The test is a representative for any modern age GPU. 

Our rather nice settings have enabled:

• DX11
• Ultra mode
• 4x MSAA enabled
• 16x AF enabled
• HBAO enabled
• Gator bait level (close to the dock)

The mother of all resolutions for PC gamers anno 2015 is WQHD which is 2560x1440. A perfect blend of a nice 27" monitor versus nice pixel density is what that is all about.
