Q&A Why I Never Bother to Benchmark Source Games Linus Tech Tips

2011-03-23
so I've often been asked why I don't benchmark source games and like tf2 they're very popular all that good stuff the reason for it as you may or may not be able to tell based on the FPS counter over on the top right is that they're simply not very demanding so the GTX 590 I've got running now while obviously a very good video card if we're talking about on the order of 252 up to 850 almost 900 frames per second in a given game even something that performs only one quarter as well is going to be well beyond the capabilities of any modern LCD monitor to display past that FPS anyway so we're talking about a scenario that just doesn't really matter I guess it's the point I'm trying to make so there you have it I guess for the sake of argument here is my benchmarking of Team Fortress 2 on the GTX 590 dual graphics card or dual GPU graphics card from Nvidia and as you can see that at 1080p with everything maxed out - pretty much as max as it gets it performs very very well randoms very very smoothly and there are no no issues whatsoever running this game at those kinds of settings and that for whatever reason I'm doing good so it's better try and like kill something oh so long okay thanks for checking out my video don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from unboxings reviews and other computer videos
