Intel G3258 Heavensward Benchmark Score

Evening, as the title says trying to gauge how well the Intel G3258 will perform in Heavenswards; If you run the game on this CPU and have run the new benchmark would really appreciate it if you could tell me what score you got, what gpu you use and what kind of settings you currently play in. Thanks.

Alright.. I'm not using my internet atm, download ETA 30 min, I'll update in a bit :)

EDIT:

Okay, I find the results to be extremely humorous :D It's probably the resolution, but I couldn't get the benchmark to go into 1920 x 1080 for some reason, the highest it showed was 1770 x some odd resolution.

Anyway

This is my rig:

Intel G3258 (not OC'd atm)
Gigabyte R9 270 Overclock edition 2gb
8 gig of DDR3-1600 ram (2 x 4GB configuration) generic microcenter ram
Intel 740 SSD

Done without any other task at hand, single monitor. I figured you wouldn't be interested in any figures when it's in dual monitor with bunch of other things going on.. But on low graphics settings, it's perfectly playable.


Here is the result:

Also, during the actual benchmark, it said load time was 167.xx seconds, not sure if that's an important metric.

Thanks and thanks for the reply in the other thread too GenJoe, i saw it from my phone and couldn't properly reply.

Thanks for the update GenJoe, if its not too much trouble can you tell me what you get on DX11 at 1920x1080 with Desktop(High). Thanks.

Didn't do a desktop high but I did just find the 1080p resolution and tried with Max
You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Did a Desktop High bench.
Scores weren't too different, but the loading times were, 19x seconds for the Maximum and 73 seconds for this one.

GenJoe said he couldn't get his benchmark to run at 1920x1080. If you can wait a bit I can run the benchmark tomorrow morning on my desktop. i5-4690k with an R9 280x. I can disable 2 of the cores and give you a pretty good approximation of what the G3258 would perform at, and I can compare that with all 4 cores running as well if you'd like me to.

Edit: I just saw what GenJoe posted (he put it up as I typed this), I can still run it on mine for a comparison between 2 cores and 4 cores with the same gpu if you'd like.

Those load times....lol ouch ; ;

Yeah 167.xx load time is high, though that score is probably determined by CPU and HDD factors

probably the CPU, I have an SSD and my actual load time in game is quite fast (~3 seconds upon teleport) so in terms of playability, there's really not much issue.. In fact, I'm usually the one waiting for others to arrive after a teleport :p

Can't beat the price though, under $400 for the rig :D thinking of building an APU next, really curious how that would perform.. In fact, if anybody has a A10-7850k build and can share some benchmark info that would be awesome.

Thanks a lot for running the tests GenJoe, really appreciate it. KitanaiKoneko I'll take you up on your offer if its not too much trouble, interested to see how a R9 280X will perform on a dual core setting. Trying to build a PC for someone else who is on a budget, their main goal is this game, office, browsing and so forth so i don't really want to get something like 4690k if they don't plan on playing any other game, not to mention their budget; Plus with a G3258, since its on the Z97 platform, can always upgrade just the cpu to an i5 or i7 in the future if need be.

GenJoe it just so happens I actually have a A10-7850k in my HTPC, there is no discreet graphics and since its in a really small case, its not OC'd but I'll do a few tests for you in the morning(need to update the game on it overnight) if your interested in just the APU's stock performance in the game. Thanks a lot again guys.
