Image quality settings and benchmark system

Image quality settings and benchmark system

Before we begin with the graphics performance tests a little explanation. We use a time based measurement based upon framerate recording. Since this title does not have a built in benchmark we start a scene and record a part of the level that gives us an average framerate.
 

Once bug we stumbled into, VSYNC does not kick in with standard full-screen mode, please enable 'exclusive full screen' mode for that. We use Very High quality settings on everything (hey this is PC gaming right?). Games typically should be able to run in the 40 FPS range combined with your monitor resolution. From there onwards you can enable/disable things if you need more performance or demand even better game rendering quality. Take a good look at our settings which we can recommend for the best PC experience.

And pardon the Dutch language in the screenshots, we could not select English mode.

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 361.75 WHQL driver (download).
• AMD Radeon graphics cards we used the latest AMD Radeon Crimson 16.1 Driver (download).
