Image Quality Settings and Test System

Before we begin with the graphics performance tests a little explanation. We use a time based measurement based upon framerate recording. Since this ttitle does not have a built in benchmark we start a scene and record a part of the level that gives us an average framerate. Our rather nice in-game quality settings are:

The graphics cards used in this article are:

Radeon R9 370 (4GB)
GeForce GTX 770
GeForce GTX 780 Ti
GeForce GTX 950 (2GB)
GeForce GTX 960 (2GB)
GeForce GTX 970
GeForce GTX 980
GeForce GTX 980 Ti
GeForce GTX Titan Black
GeForce GTX Titan X
Radeon R9 280X (3Gb)
Radeon R9 285 (2GB)
Radeon R9 290
Radeon R9 290X
Radeon R9 380 (2GB)
Radeon R9 390X
Radeon R9 Fury
Radeon R9 Fury X
Radeon R9 NANO

The benchmark can be quick or slow depending on your graphics card, resolution and image quality settings. Typically for a benchmark run there will be a scene rendered where the output of the number of frames rendered over time equals to an average framerate.

System Specifications

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 4.40 GHz on all cores. 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.

GeForce cards use the latest 358.50 driver (download).
AMD Radeon graphics cards we used the latest 15.9.1 Beta driver (download).

Our test rig was outfitted with this heavy setup to prevent and remove CPU bottlenecks that could influence high-end GPU scores. Let's head on-wards to the next page where we'll look at some screenshots and then start measure several monitor resolutions in terms of relative performance versus quality settings.

Star Wars Galaxies
A game review of Sony's Star Wars Galaxies. SWG takes place just after the time frame of a blown death star, and before the battle of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. The time setting is perfect for creation of an MMOG, as the world itself is in an epic struggle in a light Vs dark battle.
