Testing – Gaming
For gaming I chose four titles, three that I always use and one that I’ve never used before. Crysis, PT Boats: Knights of the Sea, and Call of Juarez are my favorite gaming benchmarks, all three really push a video card and stress the rest of the system too. I also used S.T.R.I.K.E.R. Clear Sky, mainly just for a change.
Crysis: I used the Crysis Benchmark Test by Boris Vergiza, settings were: CPU Benchmark, DX10, High, AA x 2, 1280 x 1024.
PT Boats: Knights of the Sea: I used the standalone benchmark demo, settings were High, AA x 2, 1280 x 1024.
Call of Juarez: I used the standalone benchmark demo, settings were High, AA x 2, 1280 x 1024.
S.T.R.I.K.E.R Clear Sky: I used the standalone benchmark demo, settings were High, AA x 2, 1280 x 1024. The benchmark gives four different avg FPS scores, each at different light levels. I took the average of the four by adding them together and dividing by 4.
