just for entertainment factor more than anything else I wanted to try running Hawks 2 on the AMD fusion III 50 APU so this is a mini ITX board from gigabyte featuring the e 350 which is both a CPU and a GPU it is both in one so I just want to tell you guys right off the bat ok so we're only getting about 20 to 30 FPS here and this is running at very low detail so you can see the aliasing is fairly evident we're only running at should I forget what it's like 1024 by 600 red as long as you don't get you know too deep into these two as long as you get don't get too close to the landscape it may actually be functional hard to say depends some people have much lower thresholds than others I personally wouldn't be able to play it at this kind of a framerate but it looked a little bit better before near the beginning I guess now we're probably running into a more CPU bottleneck to kind of scenario than GPU based on all of the planes falling apart all the effects that are going on so yeah what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna run it at full details and just to see what kind of a performance difference we actually see but first I'll get you guys the overall benchmark score here so here's the overall benchmark score running everything on low at the lowest possible res supported by the game in widescreen and all that good stuff so I'll be back in a moment with my full quality DirectX 11 results so just for fun I decided to see you know forgetting about playable settings on the e3 50 AMD's fusion APU I decided for giggles I was going to turn the details up run this baby at 1080p with tessellation on no anti-aliasing but everything else set to high to see what kind of results we can get in a legitimate DirectX 11 game at HD resolution supporting the latest dx11 features like say for example heavy tessellation that we have going on in this game so we were able to achieve eight f PS average which unfortunately isn't really playable but you wouldn't be expecting to run in e350 fusion apu at 1080p with the highest details than the latest games anyway so I thought this was an interesting experiment and thank you for checking out my video on Hawks to gaming on the e350 APU
