what was your benchmark compatibility score?

-snip-

Hello!
May I ask for the exact model of your GPU?
I am running a "2048MB Asus Radeon HD 7870 DirectCU II v2 Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16 2xDVI/1xHDMI/1xDisplayPort (Retail)" and curious to know how it'll do but I cannot run the benchmark until later this week.

Until January I had a Phenom II X4 955, but I got a i5-4590 now, so I think on that part I'll be good.

P.S.: Checked prices of the 970s and 980s here in Germany... Sweet Thaliak, those (especially 980) are expensive! 600€+ for that one.

Heads up, for those getting an lower scores on directx 11, to compare just the preformance improvements, you have to run the Direct X 11 run at Max (Direct X 9) to check

Direct X 9 Scrre



Direct X 11 Score



I lose 3 FPS on framerate avrage but gain 130 points due to a more stable framerate

PC Settings: Intel I5 3330 @ 3GHz, EVGA Nvidia GTX 750 Ti, 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD



My max Direct X 11 Score for lols

im starting to think that this game likes Nvidia cards more lol

Not bad for a computer that's about 5 years old I suppose. Still though, this alone makes me think it's time to finally upgrade my computer again at some point in the near future.

... not that this really matters for me, since I'm playing the PS4 version anyway. o.o

With 3770k and 7950 I got 6355, but my card is overclocked. Unclocked I got merely 5551 which is a lower score than people with slower Nvidia cards (I imagine you'll have a similar score). Won't speak for the game, but the benchmark is obviously paid and sponsored by Nvidia. Shame on SE.

well I guess it's not too bad. Time for new parts if I want smooth sailing.

Nvidia/intel is just better period. Not being a fanboi i've owned cards and cpus from both sides and Nvidia/int has always consistently been the better purchase for every game.

Looks a bit low... But you're using custom settings so can't really compare properly.
How much RAM? RAM speed?

You might want to check your GPU temperatures while running this as well. Graph indicates lots of throttling which could mean that the GPU runs too hot.
Could try to downclock to stock settings as you have a factory OC card and the OC might not be stable with drivers newer than it was designed for.

Ram 2x4GB G.Skill Trident 2400mhz (XMP enabled )

Gpu temps are around 40-50~ (even with Crysis 3 on max settings with FFXA )
