good for some bar hey guys welcome back today I have another video game benchmark for you and this time we're looking at the news for on our game this is an action fighting game developed by Ubisoft for pc playstation 4 and xbox one but of course we will be looking at the pc version and putting it through its paces as usual i'll be focusing too much on the gameplay and I'm certainly not going to be reviewing the game instead we just hit a bench market and see how different GPUs compare FrontPoint Oh game engine and this is the same game engine that was used for 2014 assassin creed unity 2015 s Rainbow six siege and Assassin's Creed syndicate on top of that we check out the beta version of Ghost Recon wildlands last week which also uses the engine so some pretty impressive tiles have taken advantage of this engine over the past few years that said coming off the shaky Ghost Recon wildlands better performance last week you might be a bit concerned regards to how Iran is going to play on your PC the good news is though this game actually appears very well optimized and there are a heap of tweakable settings on the PC as well as a useful built-in benchmark tool the display menu allows gamers to enable or disable things like vsync change the resolution and aspect ratio as well as the display mode and even monitor meanwhile the graphics menu provides for presets which have been labeled low medium high and extreme for testing I've used the extreme preset to see what it takes to run this game at all of its glory extreme sets things like texture filtering of 16 times enables motion blur dynamic reflections and MH bao ambient occlusion it also maxes out the geometric detail texture quality dynamic shadows and environment detail finally this also sets the anti-aliasing method to taa for those of you wondering Ubisoft recommends gamers use a CPU that is equal to or greater than the core i5 2500 k or AMD fx-6300 eight gigabytes of system memory for the GPU they recommend the geforce gtx 680 or the AMD radeon r9 280x so there aren't exactly steep requirements but I'm keen to see how the game runs on the latest and previous generation GPUs I should note this is an nvidia sponsored title and NVIDIA has game ready drivers available AMD has also managed to sneak out early driver support that is said to boost the RX for 80s performance by four to five percent so that's an impressive achievement and of course i have tested using that very driver just to clarify i have tested using the nvidia 37 866 whql driver and the AMD 17-point 3.1 relived driver we start all our testing takes place using our core i7 7700 KHS machine which sees the processor running at 4.9 gigahertz with 32 gigabytes of ddr4 3000 memory the performance numbers you have to see are based on the built-in benchmark which I found to do a pretty good job of making in-game performance at least as far as the GPU is concerned I did find that the CPU was text much more heavily we're actually playing the game but since I won't be showing CPU performance of this video that isn't an issue here's a quick look at part of the benchmark Before we jump to the results okay so first up we have the old bangers the rusty old renderers from a time almost forgotten sitting at the top of the heat we have the GeForce GTX 980 TI which admittedly is still a weapon worthy of much respect so to as AMD's fury ex and although 8% slower it did turn in an impressive 98 FPS average the little nano knocked off the vanilla GTX 980 though the once-proud Maxwell offering did beat out the r9 390 X interestingly the GTX 970 makes it very well here sticking with the r9 390 a graphics card has gotten used to seeing from a distance both spat out 72 FPS on average with a 55 FPS minimum and more importantly both provided very playable performance at tep with all the eye candy turned on even the gtx 960 and r9 380 didn't do too poorly although the 380 was faster that said we often find when overclocking these gpus to the max that the gtx 960 does come out on top both will ideally require a downgrade in the visual department and the hype reset or maybe even the medium preset would work best here moving to 1440p we find that a spot at short term memory issues the furious gets on just fine working within 1 FPS of the GTX 980 I while matching at 50 FPS minimum the nana also pulled well ahead of the gtx 980 here once again we find the GTX 970 and r9 390 still locked in a heated battle and both are just able to deliver perfectly playable performance at 1440p beyond that though gamers will be reaching for the escape kicker and heading for the graphics menu where they will be opting for either the high or medium quality presets instead then those running the r7 370 or slower might even alts happened direct their nearest browser window towards amazon for a bit of an upgrade the 4k resolution was never really friendly towards the gtx 980 or fury ex and 2017 gaming isn't going to change that still a 32 FPS average from both graphics cards wasn't bad but those aiming for this extreme resolution will want to dial from settings back again worth pointing out the fact that is slightly smaller memory buffer the few x maintains a higher minimum frame rate still dust free ring rust isn't an issue for this lot they've been battling it out non-stop since their introduction in fact it's been a back-and-forth barnburner between the IRS 480 and gtx 1060 for months now for honor doesn't exactly settle the dispute either both drop down to the same 62 SPS minimum skinny p and while the gtx 1060 did push slightly ahead for the average there isn't exactly a lot in it the three gigabyte 1060 and four gigabyte r x 480 are also very competitive and the results are within the margin of error as we've come to expect the RX 470 completely hoses the gtx 750ti while the vanilla 1050 remains the most cocky budget GPU offering the RX 460 will end of a few extra calls to help it out moving to 1440p you can naturally forget about the sub $150 offerings in fact even the RX 470 struggles here using the extreme preset the three gigabyte 1060 takes a bit of a hit on the minimum frame rate and while I'm not catastrophic it does clearly fall behind the full gigabyte r x 480 meanwhile the gtx 1060 and r x 480 continued to battle it out in what I'm sure as an honourable fight so no name-calling is going on here then for a smoother experience the gtx 1070 really delivers and if you must say above 60 FPS at all times then a gtx 1080 will be in order as a recap of this generation gtx 980 and fury Rex we're good for 32 SPS on average at 4k if you can afford it the Titan XP blows them both right out of the water with over seventy percent more performance delivering a fairly smooth 55 FPS on average of course the Titan XP is a year newer and over eighty percent more expensive so I'm not saying we should hold a parade that's honor but yeah it's still pretty fast I still haven't come up with an intelligent way to display this much data in a video at one time and if we're waiting for me to come up with a breakthrough well get used to squinting anyway what we have here are the tiny appear results from both the previous and current generation GPUs crammed into a single graph for those that do want to study these numbers without having to use a 60-inch TV please check out the written version which is published over a text book I'll provide the link in the video description just quickly here all the 1440p results again it was great to see some of the previous generation big hitters like the fury ax and gtx 980 i still mixing it up amongst the big boys finally the 4k results ironically I have squeezed 25 graphics cards into this graph and just two of them are really relevant a bit silly I know but if I didn't include this graph that one guy would be like Steve where's the 4k performance with all the GPUs and not the best use of my time so let's just wrap this up virani isn't really my style of video game i have to admit but even so i did find it quite a bit of fun to play and more importantly for those of you who love action fighting games for honor p is very well optimized on the pc 1080p gamers should have little trouble maxing out the visuals as i found last season's r9 380 and gtx 960 could deliver playable performance meanwhile the RX 470 gtx 970 and r9 390 all delivered a very satisfying experience these three GPUs were also very capable at 1440p though for a truly smooth experience you who want something like the fury ax gtx 980 TI or gtx 1070 as always for keg aiming is best left to the big boys making the Titan XP and GTX 1080 dear only two really relevant graphics cards here at least for now for those of you wondering the game isn't massively see for you demanding and does play quite well on something like a core i3 6100 that said ambs FX 8370 was quite a bit slower than 6,100 so if you want to see a full break on of fur on a cpu performance let me know in the comments and I'll see what I can do about creating a video I how I said I was going to wrap this up well I accidentally lied if that's the thing before completing the video i went back and recorded the RX 488 gigabyte and GTX 1066 gigabyte going through the built-in benchmark and decided to show the footage side by side I know a lot of you guys really like this kind of thing but for those of you who don't feel free to skip ahead by about 40 seconds for testing I now use board partner cards since they represent the actual performance many of you were going to see I mean come on guys who out there pays a premium for a founders edition graphics card or a hot AMD reference card that often throttles that's right I don't see too many hands seriously though the EVGA GTX 1064 the win plus and the MSI our X 480 game at X do represent the best out of the box performance you're going to find that says they aren't exactly worlds different from the base models either as you saw earlier both are able to live a very playable 1440p performance in for honor the benchmark pass you're watching now has been conducted at tammy p using the extreme quality preset so you should have seen framerate staying mostly above 60 FPS this benchmark does a good job of mixing things up and there are a few different seems to be rendered here the benchmarks finishes and gives us a breakdown of the performance from the sixth zones tested and as you can see the results are very competitive well that about does it for this one let me know what you guys think about the results in the comment section below and if you've already picked up for honor please let us know how it runs on your rig also for the written version was nice big easy to digest grass please check out the link in the video description which will head you in the direction of text spot over in the written version at text but I did test a grand total of 45 GPU so a fair bit more than what's found in this video there's definitely some older cards that you may still be interested in there and also throw in a few different CPUs as well so that makes for interesting comparison and there are some c4 you scaling results as well so it's certainly worth checking out I'm your host Steve and I'm going to go and have a long nap I'll probably send up dreaming about sword fights anyway though medieval swords are whatever i'll catch you guys next time all right then if I refuse there would be a slaughter you
