Let's Bench: ASUS DCUII GTX 670 + Borderlands 2 with Max PhysX

2012-11-10
how's it going guys we are at Fink's slaughterhouse in Borderlands 2 and today I'll be benchmarking the asus directs you to gtx 670 I benchmark this card not too long ago with left 4 dead 2 you can check that out if you missed it but this is a more updated benchmark if you will because it's Borderlands 2 it's more recent game left 4 dead 2 is like three years old but also because it's a nvidia GPU I thought it'd be cool to show off some of the physics effects that are found so frequently in this game and specifically because nvidia has tailor-made their GP use to basically kick the crap out of any physics effects that you throw at it and it's just optimized for physics so if you can see here for example this we got a little damage cloth here and if I shoot it it actually reacts like totally flipped up and fell back on that bar on that railing and it's just very responsive and the details just incredible and if you have physics completely off you'll be lucky if you even get this cloth here sometimes a cloth will just disappear or other times it'll just look like a piece of cardboard and when you shoot it it's like shooting a wall it doesn't react at all so today I'm going to be benchmarking this game with this card with physics on high and also i just downloaded the most recent beta driver from geforce calm you guys have an nvidia card i suggest you do it it's a 310 dot 33 i believe and i we actually Paul actually talks about it in our latest yoked episode on our newegg channel so if you haven't seen that check that out as well but yeah join me along for this benchmark and should be fun ok I'm willingly going into a slaughterhouse call me crazy but I'm doing it ooh this is a big clock let's try the physics on this oh look at that you should rip right through it that's cool slaughterhouse now bitches yeah okay grace tonight no wasting ammo Kyle we're in an economic crisis you should be more resourceful your ammunition okay oh here we go looks like I'm doing some kind of arena challenge oh yes I remember doing this one Rachel not too long ago and we meant to post that except footage was scrapped because audio was totally off the game audio was louder than my beautiful voice and I felt it wasn't worth while to be posting but now you can see it this time just me unfortunately Rachel's not here but hopefully it'll still be fun oh and by the way i am totally overkill for this i think they're these guys are like level 20 something and yeah 23 and as you can see i'm 33 and i'm really not doing this as a let's play I'm really just trying to show you guys the physics effects so see how that guy exploded you can see kind of like the particle effects look really sweet you get all this delicious green goop that flies everywhere that is completely non-existent when physics is turned off you don't get any green goop if you want your green goop got turn fit examples and there's a lot of debate people are saying the straggler a lot of people are saying now you can't use physics with an AMD card really use it with a nvidia card which is kind of true because you can still have physics enabled with an AMD GPU except since some physics is kind of like an nvidia inspired feature you're going to be offsetting some of that processing to your cpu with an EMV card so you're actually not going to be you know using your GPU to to give you those physics effects you're going to be reliant on your cpu which obviously is not going to produce as beautiful results as in video 2 video or any graphics card for that matter so yes you can you can use physics turn it on with an AMD GPU except you will suffer a performance it especially if you're doing like a lot of graphic intensive scenes in a game like if it's boss battle and there's a million guys coming at you and there's bullets everywhere a lot of particle effects you will see a huge performance it because your cpu's not gonna be able to handle it as effectively so just bear that in mind all right you come the big guns all right I'm ready for you Wow one hit KO I am totally Opie for this oh hey hey there right in the hole didn't mean to do that but it looked kind of cool hello should be there should be some cool particle effects here oh god oh god I was kind of cool see all the fragments all over the floor these little shards that's also physics you're not going to see as much of that with it disabled blood to a lot of like a lot more blood comes out of your enemies when physics is on high you alright so that was round one and hopefully you guys could see the awesomeness that is the physics effects and yeah it's pretty badass right let me know what you guys think but until next time here your benchmarks
