Wolfenstein: The New Order PC Performance Review - Low vs Medium vs High vs Ultra Benchmarks

2014-06-09
what's up Tech fans Kevin here on TECA tomorrow now last week we brought you guys a graphics comparison for watchdogs and you guys really ate that video up so we're going to do it again with another recent big release Wolfenstein the new order now just like last time we're going to show you the same piece of gameplay four times over in this case the first chapter of Wolfenstein during an indoor combat segment we're going to have it at the games for different preset graphic settings of low medium high and ultra now it's important to note that for Wolfenstein the game is always hard capped at 60 frames per second so it'll never go above that no matter what you do with the settings so as a result there's not really a lot of variance with our benchmark tests now in our test system which includes an i7 4770k processor overclocked to 4.3 gigahertz and a GTX 780 Twin Frozr gaming Edition we never really saw the gameplay ever dip below that 60 frames per second mark the only time it would is when we headed on Ultra settings at 1440p resolution and only during highly intense combat segments you'd see it go down to around 55 frames per second so let's go ahead and check out those gameplay clips right now so there you have it Wolfenstein new order running on all four different preset graphics settings on our test system at 1440p resolution now normally when you change it to 1080p you expect to bump up in the framerate but because that frame lock I mentioned earlier it's going to still stay at 60 frames per second even at a lower resolution now there is one other important thing I want to note about Wolfenstein the new order there is a particularly annoying bug that's been happening on some graphics cards where you'll see the framerate take a major nosedive down to single digits now these are isolated incidences though sometimes they can't happen back-to-back all you have to do fix it though is just reload the level and a lot of times you'll end up working just fine hopefully this is something that gets patched in the future but for right now if you encounter that problem you first boot it up just restart the level and that should fix it now if you hadn't looked into Wolfenstein before and this a little bit of gameplay got you more interested I do have a full review posted on my own YouTube channel which is linked down below but for now here's the short short version Wolfenstein the new order is a beautiful return to form of classic FPS mechanics delivered in modern day visuals it only consists of the single-player campaign which is not only surprisingly lengthy but is worth at least two playthroughs thanks to the game's split timeline decision made near the start gunplay is fast and satisfying letting players tackle enemies using tactical cover with a single gun stealthy takedowns with a silenced pistol or knife or just running and gunning with a pair of shotguns or a portable turret Stealth's attends silly at times but a lot of levels are made so that you can't rely on just it alone it's not the deepest game out there but it's straightforward good old-fashioned FPS fun team together with solid visuals and storytelling well that was just a quick look at how Wolfenstein performs on our test PC as well as a quick overview of the game itself don't forget if you want to see a more full review of it check out that link down in the description we also have links with pricing availability if you've already decided you want to grab the game for yourself if you guys enjoyed this video please make sure to let us know why absolutely destroying that thumbs up button and if you're not a subscriber yet then you should be because we've got more great videos on the way I've also got links down below to some other projects I'm working on including my own personal channel don't forget to check those out as well until next time guys I'm Kevin protecting tomorrow and I'll see you later with
