Graphics card performance

The game offers several quality settings and modes. At 1920x1080 even entry-level to mainstream graphics cards achieve very good frame-rates at the best possible settings. Visually there is little difference in-between the normal to the most complex mode settings. Let's start off with Full HD and 21 graphics cards based on the quality settings we've shown you.



Above the time demo that we run each and every card and every resolution. This is right after the intro/start intro. There will be harsher on the GPU parts in the game, there will be lesser ones as well ergo the results we show are always an indication but offer a good prognosis of how your card will run.

The Ultra High-Quality mode is steep - we apply Very High-Quality mode

All graphics cards tested are running reference clock frequencies. Nvidia cards often are sold as AIB product with a faster factory clock frequency (a 100~150 Mhz on the base clock is not unusual) that can result in say 10% additional performance over reference. For AMD card AIB card typically the cards run either reference or maybe with 50 MHz clock increase. This is why we test at reference clocks with (where possible) reference graphics cards.

The type of game you play is always relevant though, a first-person shooter game is nice at 50 to 60 fps, an online shooter on a 144Hz monitor feels better at 100+ fps. For RPG and strategy gaming things are different for which we are comfortable with an FPS ranging as low as 35~40 FPS. For race-games I feel a minimum of 45 FPS average would be a good point to start. At all times if your framerate is low, you can opt to change (lower) in-game image quality settings.
