3D Mark released a new benchmarking tool 3D Mark Time Spy which utilizes DX12 in Windows 10, had to give it a whirl at stock and overclockd settings. grin

kimco:
that is de cheapest one i cud find.
Price is right, it's still around £160 in the UK for a GTX 780. Nvidia cards don't loose their value quickly.
Bet you are killing titles at 1080p with that.

Title: Life is Strange
Resolution: 800x600
Genre: Action, Adventure
Comments: I was looking forward to playing this as it had an 'overwhelming positive' review on steam. However at an average of 13FPS, it was completely unplayable. sad

GamingRe: Gaming On Intel HD Graphics by AKBliv010(op): 11:21pm On Jul 14, 2016
Title: Rocket League
Resolution: 1024x768
Genre: Action, Racing, Sports
Comments: This title works but is best suited for a dGPU, playing at the it's lowest resolution setting 1024x768 felt like playing tetris.

same here my GTA v is messing up.
Have you tried oceanofgames.com?
Where did you get yours from
I got mine from a torrent I think, it's been a while but I tried the fix from oceanofgames and that didn't work either. Gave up trying

Title: Shank
Resolution: 1280x720 - ALL postprocessing OFF
Genre: Beat 'em up
Comments: This game runs like a dream at 1280x720, averaging 36FPS, highest recorded so far. I was hooked on this game for about 1hour just smashing and beating up the baddies, reminds me of Streets of Rage or Bare knuckles....fun to play. Will be keeping this for on-the-go gaming for sure. 2D and cartoony but gameplay is what I like.

Got 290X Crossfired.
purplekayc:
go for @ least a gtx 780 or gtx 970. What monitor do u use? What of gta v?
The GTX 780/970 are higher than my budget allows and will generally perform around R9 290X levels so, would like to show how a cheaper GPU performs and what IQ setting to get a locked 60FPS. Monitor- LG34UM57. I need a working copy of GTA V...one I downloaded was a dud!

can't wait to play this this one ,I hear it has a lot of bloody scenes.
It's gory and the executions are nice.

Intel GMA is 6 years older than Intel HD, so my guess will be no. I'm barely getting playable framerate with mine. But, by all mines try it.

Title: Takedown: Red Sabre
Resolution: 640x480, - unable to toggle Image Quality setting..bug?
Genre: Action, Simulation, Strategy
Comments: Framerate was all over the place causing a lot of stutter, even with an average of 22FPS. I think being unable to toggle the IQ setting was the issue, could probably have achieved better gameplay on lower setting. The AI in this game? Very poor, they wouldn't respond to gun shots fired...c'mon!

So u are saying games are cheaper for been on Origin Access. But if u still buy the game like dat, will it work independently of Origin Access. Meaning even if u're subuscibed to Origin Access, and u buy a game, are u buying the game on its own, or u are still buying it from the Access vault??
Yea, you get discounts 10%, I think. So buying a game worth £40 get £4 knocked off (subscription fee for a month) but it's not enough to beat CDKeys so I don't bother with it. Once bought, you own it for life like others..but if you unsubscibe from Origin, byebye Vault titles only cheesy
GamingRe: What Game Are You Currently Playing? by AKBliv010(m): 4:17pm On Jul 14, 2016
[quote author=Lana1 post=47537126][/quote]I got NFS2016 from CDkeys for £20 right. This was the standard version when Origin sold the Deluxe version for £55 ( wasn't a good deal tbh)..I get a upgrade to Deluxe now...hahaha! Imagine paying £55 and then 4 months later is on Origin Access, free-ish to play.

GamingRe: What Game Are You Currently Playing? by AKBliv010(m): 4:05pm On Jul 14, 2016

This Origin Access ehn. It looks simehow to me. So u keep paying every month like ur regular subscription. If u keep paying monthly like dat, u'll eventually, reach a point where u would ve paid more than the actual amount of the game had u bought it na. Abi?? Or do the games become free afterwhile thereby having no need for the usual monthly payments?
Some people go clubbing every weekend and spend 10-50 times that amount in one night though. LOL! £4 a month isn't a terrible investment imo. NFS 2016 is still over £40, plus you get a library of titles to choose from too which gets updated frequently, if one enjoys different game genres and isn't always after the latest AAA title, it's not a bad deal.

edit: You also get discounts on new releases usually 10-15% off. NFS 2016 right now, I can get 55% off being a subscriber.

There is no point in such a setup, I guess.. I like playing CS:GO a lot, and I have a regular PC but with a gaming monitor and mouse. If you are interested, you can look at http://csgopedia.com/csgo-pro-setups/ for some pro players setups. They are anything but like this one here
It's clearly a racing simulator. you should check out racing simulator setups instead grin

The GTX960 or R9 380/380x is to run some more benchmarks. Do you game on a PC or laptop? What GPU do you have bro?
GamingRe: Graphic Settings To Get 60+ FPS With AMD 290/290X by AKBliv010(op): 9:18pm On Jul 13, 2016
Seeing the performance gains with Vulkan, it was a no brainer to push some more pixels through the 290X and see how it'll handle near 4K resolutions and I am pleased with the results.

AMD GCN cards ( from GCN1.1, I think) have a featured called VSR(virtual super resolution) that allow the GPU to upscale resolutions upto 3840x2160 on a 1080p monitor where it gets downsampled. For the 290X, it's maximum is 3200x1800, well not quite 4K resolutions but pushing 5.7million pixels, no b joke.
Average framerate was around 55FPS, with Ultra settings, totally playable.

I think most major FPS on PC have had that since Quake II days. I never really used it though, I was too busy running into or away from the action lol.
Pressing shift makes character run normally, Doom is to walk.

Played the demo, was getting flashbacks of Quake II. Amazing graphics and the gameplay is intense, it's a winner in my books.
The fast pace is awesome. Prior to playing, I went into the kb&mouse option and found holding the shift key is to walk. I was like dayyyuuumm!

Ultra settings, everything absolutely maxed out.

Vulkan has brought improvements and scales very well with the number of CPU cores you have. Frametimes have reduced and translates to a higher framerate. Here we see a 28% increase in performance...which is very welcome...Nvidia's pascal hasn't seen such improvements, they probably release a patch soon but bear in mind this is a 3 year old AMD GPU. I'm impressed. DX11 had a much bigger CPU overhead and that crippled AMD cards. DX12 and Vulkan give some performance boost to older gen cards. cheesy
