Far Cry 3 Benchmarking Procedure Explanation Linus Tech Tips

2013-01-30
you know what I say Tigers are chumps I just took one out with a bow and arrow with fire on it so there you go take that tiger but in all seriousness this video is about our Far Cry 3 benchmarking procedure so we want to show you guys exactly how we run it down to well ok the settings will vary depending on what class of graphics cards were running but we want to show you how we achieve a reproducible real-world benchmarking scenario so it's in this case slick found one of the trials that involves racing around a course and we want to show you guys how you can run exactly the same benchmark as us using fraps and compare your system to whatever we're testing on our test bench this will give you a really good idea of how it stacks up compared to newer hardware that comes out as we test it so without further ado here is slicks benchmarking procedure for Far Cry 3 so what'd you see me doing actually has nothing to do with the benchmarking procedure that you just saw quite clearly but oops shooting civilians will not be tolerated repair I just blew one up like two seconds ago and it didn't seem to care but I just want to show you guys what we run in fraps in order to run the benchmark so settings wise we are going to set a benchmarking hotkey and set it to stop benchmarking after 120 seconds we always run a two-minute run now I would recommend for consistency sake do some practice and see how close you can get it with the same hardware in the same settings before you rely on yourself to use this to actually measure performance so all you have to record is min Max and average and it's going to spit out a CSV file that looks a little something like this C colon slash fraps benchmarks and here's all the benchmarks we've run on this drive since we started it up so here let's have a look at I don't know some Far Cry 3 benchmark or something so this will tell you the minimum the maximum errantly this particular run slick was basically looking at a rock because that's very very consistent impacts on average but that's pretty much it don't forget to subscribe to honest tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos
