Image quality settings and benchmark system
Image quality settings and benchmark system
For this game, we use a run with Ultra image quality settings, the highest possible quality mode. We will test many graphics cards in this D3D12 and Vulkan compatible title performance wise. Games typically should be able to run in the 40 FPS range combined with your monitor resolution at the very least. From there onwards you can enable/disable things if you need more performance or demand even better game rendering quality.

System Specifications & recommended drivers
Our test system is based on the eight-core Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Edition with Haswell-E based setup on the X99 chipset platform. This setup is running tweaked at 4.20 GHz. Next, to that, we have energy saving functions disabled for this motherboard and processor (to ensure consistent benchmark results). We use Windows 10 all patched up. Each card runs on the same PC with the same operating system clone.
The drivers are:
- GeForce cards use the latest 399.07 WHQL driver (download drivers).
- Radeon graphics cards we used the latest AMD Radeon Crimson 18.8.2 Driver (download drivers).
