Gadgetory

with its factory tuning and data center DNA and Intel 730 series SSD is an amazing choice for gamers and performance enthusiasts hey there guys welcome to my feet benchmarking overview video we're gonna be testing things today on the standard test bench of 40 960 X clocked at 4.0 gigahertz but at 16 gigs of ram clocked at 1866 megahertz and a variance of GPUs who's overclocking settings you can find in the GPU overclocking dock linked below this video so I broke up the graphics cards into three tiers there's the extreme tier with $500 plus graphics cards which is running on very high preset with one thing changed so that goes to custom which is anisotropic filtering at 16 X running at 1600 P that's the crazy tier then one step down we've got around 300 to $400 tier where we're running just on the very high preset at 16x anisotropic filtering but at 1080 P not 1600 P like the tier above and then one step down which is where we're running at 1080p again but just on the high preset and no custom values at all and that's at about the 150 hundred seventy dollar range two things guys these numbers are very subject to change Nvidia and AMD will assuredly be releasing drivers in the future as they always do and they will probably be including optimizations for theif so both of these numbers for either teams could go up in varying amounts we're not entirely sure but for now you can just use it as kind of a educated guess on how well this card will perform in the future if you do buy one or if you have one already also another thing is these numbers were pulled from newegg.com which is an American website and especially AMD cards pricing on this website is very skewed because in the States especially pricing for AMD cards has gone a little bit nuts because of coin mining so if you're someone who's not in the States looking at this video maybe a card falls into another bracket so it would highly suggest checking out and comparing the dollar value of these cards on your own especially if you're outside of the States alright guys so here's the benchmarking run so you guys can either replicate it on your own or just see generally what I'm doing we start just outside of the main hideout in theif and then well this isn't a crazy action game or is it it's supposed to be played as a crazy action game so unlike a lot of my benchmarks I'm not gonna run around killing as many people as I can within the two minutes I'm actually just gonna kind of go around and do some things that you might do in theif for two minutes and you'll notice that not a fair amount of it is actually just looking in different places or like coaching at certain times and coaching through certain areas that's mainly for timing so that I can actually easily replicate this run as you can see here I've actually already looted this house on a previous playthrough but I knew exactly where the house was and I knew I could navigate through it quite easily so I went back there for this playthrough stay alert once I get to this window here I had to save a few times to find a proper safe for this as there's two guards in this courtyard I can't waste a ton of time trying to sneak around the guards because that's not gonna be the easiest thing to replicate so I tried to find a safe file where I could actually do this properly so if you're trying to replicate this on your own you might have to save a couple times to try and make sure that the guards are in the right spot but it's not too bad to the teeth one thing I use is the sweep of mechanic as you saw right there because built into the game to actually Traverse hope you've seen too easily I try to get light late areas dark areas sweeping mechanics crouching running walking all that kind of stuff in its benchmark to try and show all the different things that you'll probably be doing a thief quite actively we're nearing the end now if we climb down this ladder and as we run up the stairs we're coming right to the end we're gonna crouch here and then shift through the light and the benchmark should end right about here alright guys thanks for watching my video if you want to see all of our videos be sure to subscribe to the channel like and dislike while you're down there based on whether or not you liked theif this is a very controversial game and speaking of liking thief's comment in the comment section below visit us on the forum favorite and share this video as normal while you're on the forum be sure to check out the thread for this video as I'll more likely see your comment there is the youtube comment section just gets insane sometimes and I can't even reply to people and ridiculous well here on the forum if you get tired of the ads be sure to check out the contributor thing

way I know Linus has a holy balls shirt coming out with cats all over it playing with cat toys of course that's exactly what he means by that but anyways guys thanks again for watching and I'll see you guys next time
