metro last light benchmark with gtx 780 on 4k

Next we’ve managed to get a hold of a 4K monitor for this testing as AMD were kind enough to provide us with the Sharp PN-K321 4K monitor. Sapphire Vapor-X OC AMD R9 280X – read our review here.Nvidia GTX Titan – read our review here.

So this is by no means a comprehensive or complete look at 4K performance on high end AMD and Nvidia GPUs, but we think it is an interesting place to start.įirstly let’s recap the graphics cards we’re using, all four are pictured above and they are: AMD are also expected to reveal an R9 290 graphics card at some stage this year too. Of course since writing this article Nvidia have revealed their intentions to release a GTX 780 Ti graphics card which is worth considering when looking at these benchmarks.

With GPUs getting more and more powerful and 4K monitors becoming available for consumer purchase we thought we’d use AMD’s R9 290X launch as a spring-board to look at the 4K Gaming performance of AMD and Nvidia’s top 2 single GPU graphics cards. Here's what that looks like, this is the last stage of the benchmark.***Please see our latest 4K Gaming article here which adds GTX 780 Ti, GTX 780 Ti SLI and R9 290X CFX to the mix*** If you like to try a test run, the game has a built in benchmark. Let's head onwards to the next page where we'll look at the performance. Both NVIDIA and AMD have released these drivers being optimized for Crysis 3. GeForce cards use the latest 320.14 WHQL drivers ( download) and for AMD Radeon graphics cards we used the latest 13.5 Beta build 2 driver ( download). Each card runs on the same PC with the same operating system clone.

We use Windows 7 64-bit SP1 all patched up.

The processor is a Core i7 3960X clocked at 4600 MHz.

Our test setup is based on Intel X79 (MSI Big bang XPower II) with 8 GB of DDR3 ( Corsair 1600 MHz) memory.

We enable 16xAF and leave motion blur and tesselation at normal. The mode used today is Very HIGH as even mid-range cards will be capable of managing the game pretty well at 1920x1200. Our Graphics test mode : DX11 - Very High Image Quality settings Using these 2048x2048 textures at range creates highly detailed distance views, and up-close with the introduction of a second 2048x2048 texture the visual quality of surfaces skyrockets, hence we really want you to use Very High Quality mode. The graphics options are very detailed allowing for significant scaling across systems. V Sync can be turned off but we recommend to leave it on. In Last Light, 4A’s textures are predominantly 2048 pixels wide by 2048 pixels high, double the resolution of textures in many of today's best-looking games. Graphics (VGA) performance Recording Level and IQ settingsīefore we begin with the graphics performance tests a little explanation.
