Testing – Gaming
Our first game test is Resident Evil 5. This is the standalone benchmark, which is free to download. It offers both DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 benchmarks. We ran the variable DirectX 10 benchmark with all high settings at 1680 x 1050 resolution and 8x antialiasing.
The Alien vs. Predator benchmark is next, it is also a standalone benchmark. As with many of the already released DirectX 11 benchmarks, the Aliens vs. Predator DirectX 11 benchmark leverages your DirectX 11 hardware to provide an immersive game play experience through the use of DirectX 11 Tessellation and DirectX 11 Advanced Shadow features. In Aliens vs. Predator, DirectX 11 Geometry Tessellation is applied in an effective manner to enhance and more accurately depict HR Giger’s famous Alien design. We ran the benchmark at high settings with 4x antialiasing.
Our first game test is Crysis Warhead. This game crushes most systems out there and is very graphics and memory intensive. We used the Framebuffer Crysis Warhead benchmark tool. We used the Gamer setting with a 1680 x 1050 resolution on the ambush demo with 8x antialiasing.
