hey everyone this is steve from gamers nexus da net and today we are benchmarking titan falls performance on multiple video cards i already published this full article linked in the description below hit that if you want more information but this is sort of the video component to show you what the game actually looks like on various settings just for your own curiosity we previously benchmarked the performance in titan falls beta but that was before official drivers were released for the cards to support different profiles and it was of course before the game was finalized so i revisited it now that the game is final to kind of give you an update on how different cards perform the cards were testing today include ex FX's ghost 7850 1 gigabyte card a GTX 650 TI boost 2 gigabyte card courtesy of Fred shout out to Fred and AMD a10 5800 k apu which has a 76 60d GPU component a gtx 760 2 gigabyte card and then we've got four more three of them by msi the first is a gtx 750 one gigabyte card which uses the new maxwell architecture it's the 28 nanometer version of maxwell there's an msi r7 260x 2 gigabyte card and an MSI r9 270x 2 gigabyte card which is one of the most expensive ones right now especially with the cryptocurrency boom the last card is my old gtx 580 which i suspect has there is something weird with the 580 in this test so if you have your own 580 please tell me what your results are but we'll get to that in a moment I tested the game using these settings it's pretty maxed out there has been some criticism online of my use of 8x msaa anti-aliasing which is totally valid you probably don't want to use that in a real-world scenario so I will grant that and in the future we will do multiple tests with maxaa and with a lower a like 4x or 2x but this is what I tested with so that's what we got everything set the high texture resolution is set to insane and it is double buffered so we we can actually push 120 fps to the 120 Hertz monitor if the card is capable because the game will limit your frame rate based on the frequency of the monitor and based on your vsync settings this will allow you to output higher framerate to a high frequency monitor so that's what we got now the 810 5800 k and intel HD 4000 i didn't mention the HD 4000 both of those were tested with different settings shown here the HD 4000 I had to further decrease to 900 p because 1080 was just too much for it man it just couldn't do it I ran five test iterations for each device and I ran them all largely on the same maps as the other tests we did not test on Lagoon because there was some framerate drop issues so that map was eliminated in order to normalize the results but other than that everything was pretty constant what you're looking at in terms of this chart is the average FPS that's the blue bar that's the one you care most about the minimum FPS which is the absolute lowest point and then the one percent time low FPS so here's why I include that with minimum FPS you may very well just be getting an outlier right just like with the maximum FPS I actually did not include max FPS because it's kind of silly you'll end up with outliers or you just end up 120 all the time with some of these cards because it's really not hard to push 120 FPS at some point in the gaming process when that's your maximum FPS possible with the game and the monitor the one percent time low is FPS that is output one percent of the time so that would be a pretty good representation of your lag spikes over the course of a minute you'll see one percent is low enough where you'll see those spikes those drops and and it's it's it's definitely worth looking at here what we have in terms of results will start at the very bottom with the HD 4000 unlike beta the HD 4000 was actually able to play titanfall so that's a pretty big difference because in beta it was totally unable to play the game had serious will call them artifacting and mash Therrien issues if you're a game developer please feel free to correct me on the use of those terms the HD 4000 this time at 900p with the low settings that i showed put out 16 FPS at best at average I should say it was 60 max but again that was in the outlier with 1080p it was closer to 10 FPS if we're generous it was actually like nine point four I think so definitely not a viable option just using the HD 4000 alone you would need to run a 13 by 7 f resolution or something to even get a reasonable FPS the AMD a10 50 100 k is trinity it's a couple generations old and was actually i think maybe the first desktop apu off the top of my head and so it has the 76th 60d in it which is it was pretty damn impressive for its time and it's still impressive in titanfall I was really quite shocked to see that it averaged 33 FPS that's that's fairly playable I know a lot of you more serious gamers myself included I can't play less than 60 FPS it drives me crazy but being realistic here if you have an 810 5800 k you're on a budget already and 33 is totally playable it's it's fine it's not the most fluid thing in the world you might see a couple jobs but it does look pretty damn good given that the APU was like I don't know 150 bucks or whatever when it was brand new so then we have the gtx 580 this is the one I said should maybe maybe be discarded just because it's it's a bit odd it should not perform this low it should probably be close it should probably be above the 650 Ti boost almost assuredly so here's the thing the 580 that I used to test works perfectly fine and other games that I validated it with I was concerned about the health of the card after I saw these results so I did test it with other games and it performed where it should relative to these other devices so I don't know what's going on with titanfall and the 580 that I have I have an old EVGA 1.5 gigabyte one but they're not happy playing together so it just kind of keep that in mind year 580 may perform better if you have one please test it and let me know below the GTX 750 is a new Maxwell architecture card it's on 28 nanometer version of Maxwell and it performed really I mean it really impressed me I was blown away by its consistency here so if you have a 750 or if you have like a and thirty one hundred forty dollar budget this is something worth considering because I one gigabyte 750 with maxaa with max everything with insane textures had an average FPS of 49 and a one-percent low of 26.8 so if you drop MSA a if you drop to maybe like 2x or 4x if you drop texture resolution to very high from insane you're going to play this game just fine with the card I also noted in the in the benchmark article that this was one of the smoothest devices in terms of the actual frame times in terms of stuttering that's probably partly because it's maxwell and has some improvements on those fronts but it does perform very well the 7850 similarly did pretty well was 49.8 average and i pretty much same stuff i said previously doesn't doesn't have any noticeable tearing issues or at least not frequently the GTX 650 Ti boost two gigabyte model way outperformed everyone else in terms of consistency it was the most consistent device on the bench in that it had a very high minimum and a very high 1% low that weren't too distant from its average of fifty-one FPS very smooth card and played the game quite reasonably at high settings or max settings in this case the r7 260x performed a little bit better than that no visible issues with tearing that were noteworthy same for the 270x and that that is starting to the high end so you can probably start running things like fraps or screen capture software with this card and with the 760 and you'll still get away with a reasonable frame rate even with that software running the GTX 760 performed just as well as we would expect it was 80 1.75 FPS average it actually outperformed itself in the beta benchmark which is a good thing because that shows there were some optimization improvements either on the driver side or on the game side and it is a it did have some visible stuttering issues I had stuttering issues even on high resolution textures or very high i should say so it was not an issue with the ram cashing out it's just some issue with the card and other people have noticed this online as well so that's our titanfall benchmark please hit the link in the description below for the full article and we will see you all next time peace
