all right welcome back to hot rod box today I have the real deal that 30 GPU destiny to benchmark for you now for testing we're obviously using the beta version of destiny 2 and access was granted on August 29th for those that pre-ordered the game the retail release won't be until late October so in a few months time but even so it was great to take a peek at what we're in for both AMD and NVIDIA have released updated drivers to better support destiny 2 and they did this about a week ahead of the PC open beta I found performance was excellent on both the Radeon and GeForce GPUs as you're about to see for testing I have again used our core i7 7700 GPU test system and that is again clocked at 4.9 gigahertz but I also found the game played very well a much more affordable CPU such as the pentium g 45 60 and Rison 3 1200 for example if you missed yesterday's what does it take to play video which was based on destiny 2 now let me just quickly say that with the geforce gtx 1060 we found the game played exceptionally well using AMD's Rison 3 1200 and that was without needing to overclock the CPU i've also looked at the risin 5 1600 and we will compare those numbers to the mighty core i7 77 ok later in the video for now we do have 30 GPUs to focus on 17 of which are from the current generation lineup with another 13 from last season's lineup all have been tested at the 1080p 1440p and 4k resolutions using the higher quality preset which is the second highest quality preset available in the game right now the highest quality preset which is called highest completely smashes performance visually I didn't really notice a huge difference between the high and highest quality presets so for that reason I've decided to go for high for now and this means that SMA is the anti-aliasing method of choice since you can't save your progress during the beta sort of it's like a single player toriel style intro I've tested the first 60 seconds from the very start and I'll show you what the past looks like now having done this over 90 times now I have it pretty well memorized testing this game though was a massive pain I had to exit after every single run to reset everything it was insanely time-consuming as you can probably imagine I do hope that when the game is finally released we can find a significantly more efficient method to test for now I haven't tested the multiplayer section of the game mostly because I found getting into a game took way too long so I abandoned that plan pretty early on anyway let's watch the rest of the benchmark pass and then we'll get down to business as we have a lot of data to go over - a short dick over here Titan high armory is opened follow the path from there it will lead you through the hangar to the plot first up we have the old boys the geforce 900 series along with the radio and 300 and furry series testing at 1080p we see that most of the previous generation GPUs had no trouble maintaining well over 60 FPS at all times as demonstrated by the Radeon r9 390 and GeForce GTX 970 even the r9 380 and gtx 960 do well averaging over 60 FPS it's interesting to see that the fury series was not really able to pull ahead of the r9 390x and in fact trailed the gtx 980 and it got completely stomped by the gtx 980ti fine wine ain't working here moving on to 1440p the fury ik series does start to recover though even here the fury ax is still down on the gtx 980ti meanwhile the GTX 970 edged ahead of the r9 390 though it has to be said both did provide exceptionally smooth frame rates in fact quite shockingly even the geforce gtx 950 managed to keep frame rates above 30fps for a slightly con soulish feel I suppose though the graphics and resolution were considerably better then finally for the previous gen GPUs we tested at 4k and as expected you'll ideally want a previous generation flagship part such as the gtx 980ti or fury X for playing at this resolution the mid-range to high-end models such as the GTX 970 and r9 390 did well but again you'll probably want more horsepower for 4k gaming ok so what about the current generation GPUs yeah there's quite a lot of them now AMD might be lacking a truly high end GPU but they're still pretty competitive in overall numbers ignoring the high-end stuff for now as we are only at 1080p we find that to keep the frame rates above 60fps at all times gamers will require an rx 570 or GTX 1063 gigabyte and frankly those are some pretty mild demands for now though nvidia does have a clear advantage in this title at least at these lower resolutions and we see this when comparing GPUs such as the rx 580 and GTX 1060 for example moving on as we increase the resolution to 1440p this greatly reduces the margins between the AMD and NVIDIA GPUs and we now just see three frames standing between the GTX 1060 and rx 580 both of which provided excellent performance at this reasonably high resolution for an average of around 100 FPS you will want to seek out a gtx 1070 or Vega 56 GPU and for going well beyond 100 fps you will of course require a gtx 1080 TI and finally if you want to enjoy destiny - in all of its glory at 4k then and get your wallets out and prepare to empty them actually it's probably not really that bad and in fact the GTX 1080 actually does very well here of course the 1080 TI was much smoother thanks to a 33% increase in frame rates and it did push well over 60 FPS at all times but still the game appears very well optimised before wrapping things up as usual I have this giant mess for you to try and decipher with a magnifying glass for easier to digest versions of this very graph head over to text spot I'll provide the link in the video description anyway here are all 30 GPUs compared at 1080p and as you can see there are a number of options capable of delivering between 96 105 fps on average and that being the case there are a great deal of GPUs that are good for 60fps plus we do see a wider spread of results at 1440p and again there are a huge amount of GPUs capable of pushing over 60 fps that said though those seeking a hundred FPS or greater will either need to back the quality settings down or up for a very high end GPU and finally we again have the 4k results with the high quality preset enabled if you want to average around 60fps your options are admittedly quite limited the best value choice here is quite clearly the GTX 1080 but damn the TI version was very nice in this title at 4k just lastly before wrapping things up I did throw in the GTX 1080 on both the 7700 K and risin 5 1600 test systems to see how they compare now these results are only from the first 60 seconds of the single-player campaign and I am aware that larger open sections of the game as well as the multiplayer modes will likely be more CPU demanding but until the game is officially released I can't really test that so for now this will have to do as expected at 4k we run into a massive GPU bottleneck and performance is much the same though the 7700 K did still maintain a better 1% low result moving to 1440p the Intel CPU did offer a 15% greater performance margin and this was blown out to 27% at 1080p utilization was good on both CPUs and the game did evenly distribute load across all the r5 1600 s cause it just didn't give it enough work to warrant having all those extra cores for this title at least under the conditions we tested as I noted anyway on that note expect a much more in depth destiny 2 CPU benchmark once the game is officially released well I have to say although I haven't had a chance to check out the multiplayer portion of the game yet I was pleasantly surprised by what I found in the single-player experience the game looks great plays well and for a beta I have to say it's significantly more polished than most of the triple-a titles I tested last year so hats off to the developer for an enjoyable single-player experience a mid-range GPU will have you more than covered at 1080p using the higher quality settings and many will provide a very smooth 60fps experience even at 1440p the AMD GPUs are lagging a little bit behind at 1080p but I have to say they do come alive at 1440p and 4k and here they were very competitive speaking of 4k did you see the GTX 970 going toe-to-toe with the r9 390 spitting out 37 FPS on average I don't recall exactly what time it was meant to be but wasn't the 970 with its measly three and a half gigabyte frame buffer meant to be completely obsolete by now and well pretty much just a heap of rubbish maybe I got my dates mixed up anyway the extremely popular Maxwell based GPU is still trucking along just fine as far as where you can tell of course so too is the r9 390 and it's never die attitude further down the food chain though the r9 380 is quite simply having its way with the gtx 960 though it does go the other way when looking at the gtx 950 and r7 370 is in video quite easily wins that battle then at the complete opposite end of the spectrum we have the gtx 980ti and once again it proved to be just far too much for the fury x as for the current generation GPUs if you're lucky enough to own a gtx 1060 or rx 580 then you look set to take full advantage of what destiny 2 has to offer for the single-player portion of the game as long as you have a CPU that's better than saying FX series are an old core i3 for example then you're going to be right all of the rise and CPUs do very well in this title as to intel's newer dual-core CPUs supporting hyper threading so the pentium g 4560 for example through my brief testing I did notice that the newer core i3 will see utilization hovering around say 80% and this is also true for the Pentium G 4560 meanwhile the rise in through 1200 was more like 60 to 70% and the horizon 5 1400 was really only loaded up to say about 50% then when it comes to memory we were only seeing around 2.3 gigabytes of vram allocated at 1440p and this explains why the three gigabyte gtx 1060 does so well along with the gtx 970 even at 4k we're only starting to get to the limits of the three gigabyte buffer but of course these GPUs run out of processing power before the memory capacity becomes an issue as for the system memory or Ram it looks like 8 gigabytes will have you covered destiny 2 sucks up around 5 to 6 gigabytes at least it did for this beta version overall I found destiny 2 to be a very fun and great looking game that appears very well optimized for the PC I'm now keener than ever to get my hands on the full retail version not only to enjoy it and play it but also for some more in-depth benchmarks of course hopefully though these benchmark results of the beta version give you a good idea of how your PC will perform in this upcoming tile speaking of which if your PC is in the an upgrade to play destiny - then perhaps you should check out and you upgrade my PC please series I'll provide a link in the video description below that's it for this one guys I'm your host Steve see again soon
