how's it going guys if you're wondering why you're watching me play crysis 3 instead of my lovely face it's because i've been shifting some stuff in my room around and quite frankly it's not a pretty sight to look at so you can watch me get blown up right here and swim through the water and get lost and drowns but this is basically a follow up video in a way to the previous one that i did when i did that whole new methodology of a benchmarking i kind of took a different route and surprisingly i got a lot of positive feedback from you guys so long to behold i'm doing it again this time with some mid-range GPUs specifically some nvidia geforce gtx series cards i will get around to doing some AMD cards in the near future so don't freak out and d card users that is coming soon um but yeah let me see one of the things I want to talk about in this video um good feedback oh yes I am doing a different benchmark mood for this this test i'm not using the first level again because as we all know now I found out a little bit too late actually the rope physics were all screwed up for that first level it made the frame rate drop ridiculously so i actually will should be showing you guys my new benchmark loop right now alright so with this new benchmark loop that i'm doing i actually took some inspiration from Linus and slicks video thank you guys for letting me rip off your bench marking methodology so this is actually the same general area that they are in when they begin their loop it's except it's a little bit before that so this is going to vary slightly but thank you again why doesn't slick please don't sue me so before I even start my testing I actually want to pull out my crossbow and enable or equip my explosive tip right there my explosive arrow tip because I'm going to be using that shortly and then as soon as I begin my benchmark i press the armor and I go down that hatch right there and I look up and I wait for psycho cuz he's slow and as soon as he gets to the bottom of this stairway right here I begin to follow him just like that and this is pretty much where line is in the slick start pretty similar to more and I basically follow him through this little tunnel area here and I try to keep a medium distance away from him at all times so I can see most of his body especially his feet going through the water like that so I can see the ripples and there are a few moments in this kit and in this set a little run here though where he'll actually stop and wait for you just like that and he'll just sit there until you catch up to him so be aware of that you want to be standing waiting for him waiting for you for too long buddy just finish out this little run here and like slick said by the way there's a lot of good opportunity for collision and water effects as you saw cycling myself right through the cloth there as well as the lovely blades of grass all around so as soon as he drops that he's going to motion downward with his hand and when he does that I'm going to run to the door so right there you run through and as soon as I open the store here I enable my cloak and I pull back my lovely arrow and I blow up that turret right there it's gonna make my life a hell of a lot easier for this benchmark and kill this dude yes take his gun why not that doesn't really matter I had I'm gonna run up here there's another guy sleeping around here safe came out another be right here oh just kill everyone don't really no need to take your time here just kind of plow through it and the very end you make this final jump and I stop my benchmark right about there alright so for my testing hardware i am still borrowing the core i7 3960 x thankfully and the asus rampage for formula as well along with 16 gigs of g.skill trident x ram the video cards i'm using lovely cards here we have today once again this is a geforce gtx kind of special video so like i said don't worry if you have an AMD card i will be getting to those soon so for now i have an EVGA gtx 670 for the win and msi gtx 660ti power edition a galaxy gtx 660 overclocked and an msi gtx 650ti power edition as well and you'll notice all of these cards are factory overclocked and i figured this was kind of a representative of you know the real real world scenario in most of your cases because i'm assuming you either have a factory overclocked card already or your manually overclocking your card yourselves or both right so let's go on to my first benchmark test with at 1920 x 1080 you can see here the EVGA gtx 670 for the win was able to perform at above 30 frames per second at minimum with the system specs at high and the texture res at very high very impressive SMAA and anisotropic filtering at 4x + 16 x x respectively and the game still looked really really nice on even though i was playing on a 27 inch monitor it still looked awesome and for the record guys blurred was set to medium and flair was on yes for all of these tests at both resolutions moving out of the gtx 660ti from msi this is a power edition card system specs still able to operate it high and texture res had to bump that down too i coming from the 670 and SMA as you can see there had to be bumped down to 2x and anisotropic filtering was a you know still still keep it up at 4x which i thought was pretty nice so you're not really seeing terribly much of a performance hit going from the 670 to the 660 ti but you are seeing quite a performance hit going from the TI to the regular 660 version of the card um but oh really quickly what do you want to mention look at the average frame rate for the 660 ti the MSI it's at 66 and the max FPS is higher than all the other cards to at 94.6 i retested this card over and over and over to make sure that it wasn't a fluke and that I wasn't doing something incorrectly but that's what I got and it's it's you know keep in mind you of this isn't your average apples to apples benchmark test but relatively speaking I mean the the minimum with the minimum frame rate being just above 30 for all the cards I was still getting quite a few more frames per second on average and at max with the 660 ti so good job 660 ti and you to msi for the galaxy gtx 660 like i said we're taking much more of a performance hit here so i just wanted to say yeah there's quite a huge performance gap for the money that you're paying you actually get a lot more performance jumping from a 662 a TI you can see the system specs for the 660 had to be bumped down to medium as well as the texture resolution an SMA a at 2x with the anisotropic filtering at 2x as well with a 660 ti you're starting to near console territory dare i say as far as video quality goes not quite there yet but getting close with anisotropic filtering completely disabled and 1x and it struck I'm sorry anti-aliasing completely disabled and 1x anisotropic filtering it's just starting to look a little iffy but if you think that's bad wait till you go to 2560 by 1600 the resolution that many video cards fear so the 660 I'm sorry the 670 for the win actually still is keeping in the game I guess you know you're starting to see some some serious quality droppage here especially if you're like zooming in on blades of grass you can kind of start to see that jaggedy staircase effect that's basically because anti-aliasing is disabled now and we're operating off of 1x anisotropic filtering with a 660 ti you can see that you're still getting if you look at the frame rates yet still perform outperforming the other two cards as far as average frame rate and max frame rate definitely max frame rate at 74.6 but we are having to step down from our high throne with system specs a medium now and texture resolution and medium as well anti-aliasing still disabled and 1x anisotropic filtering the gtx 660 now now we're in console territory looking at the back of psycho during that tunnel run it just looks terrible I mean there's like no tessellation whatsoever his body looks like a piece of cardboard it's just horrible I mean look at that 650ti and it's kind of hilarious ID why did I even test this card at this resolution on this game yeah for fun average framerate 31.4 so 21.5 as you can see there at minimum frames per second on average I mean the game looks like crap at this point and you can't even play the game I mean it looks like a flip book is being flipped by a sloth but given the fact that this is a lower end card and we are pushing it against a very graphically intensive game at a very high resolution these results are completely expected and with that I believe that is all the information I want to share with you guys today so thank you all for watching subscribe to awesomesauce news if you haven't
