Wolfenstein II The New Colossus: PC graphics analysis benchmark review - Image quality settings and benchmark system

Image quality settings and benchmark system

Wolfenstein II really is an AMD title, it takes full advantage of the Vulkan API and Vega cards will do exceptionally well as the latest features found on Radeon RX Vega graphics cards are supported. Vega, for example, is using the advanced features on the “Vega” GPU such as rapid packed math, multi-threaded command buffer recording, asynchronous compute and shader intrinsics.

We will test a good number of cards in this title performance wise. Games typically should be able to run in the 40 FPS range combined with your monitor resolution quite easily with the best settings. From there onwards you can enable/disable things if you need more performance or demand even better game rendering quality. The game allows you to tweak many graphics settings but has your typical settings ranging from the lowest to the best (Mein leben!) image quality settings. 

The graphics cards tested

In this article, we'll make use of the following cards at the best PC experience, the quality mode as shown above with VSYNC OFF. The graphics cards used in this test: 

System specifications & 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 388.13 WHQL drivers (download).
• Radeon graphics cards we used the latest AMD Radeon Crimson 17.11.1 Driver (download).
