Assassins Creed: BF is an historical action-adventure video game, published by published by Ubisoft and released in October 2013. Like Battlefield 4 this games does not include an in-game benchmark. This makes it perfect for more real world gaming testing. To obtain repeatable results we have used FRAPs and recorded a custom run through Havana’s marketplace. An average of four runs was taken.
The settings used in the testing below are highest settings for quality, VSync disabled and a resolution of 2560×1440 and 1920×1080. Environment quality was set to very high, Anti-Aliasing was set to TXAA 4X, Ambient Occlusion set to HBAO+ (high), Shadow Quality set to ‘soft shadow’, Motion Blur and Volumetric Blur both set to On. Texture Quality, Reflection Quality, and God Rays all set to High.
As with most of the other tests, if you game at 1080P pick which ever ‘side’ you prefer as both will result in performance close enough as to make no never mind. On the other hand at 1440P that extra wide bus of the MSI R9 380 does start to pay dividends. Is the difference large enough to convince all consumers, no, but the difference is large enough that people who are not prejudging this card will see the merits of this card.
MSI Radeon R9 380 Gaming 2G – Call of Duty: Ghosts (RWGB)
Call of Duty: Ghosts is a first person shooter video game, published by Activision and released in October 2013. Since it does not include an in-game benchmark, it perfect for more real world gaming testing. To obtain repeatable results we have used FRAPs and recorded 90 seconds of the single player ‘Ghost Stories’ level, starting as soon as we resume control of Logan back on Earth. An average of four runs was taken.
The settings used in the testing below are highest settings for quality, VSync disabled and a resolution of 2560×1440 and 1920×1080. Image Quality, Textures Resolution, Normal Map Resolution, and Specular Map Resolution set to Extra. Screen Space Ambient Occlusion and Antistrophic Filtering set to High, Terrain Detail set to ON, and Anti-Aliasing was set to TXAA 4X. With Shadows, Distortion, Motion Blue and Depth of Field set to Yes.
Call of Duty Ghosts is another game that favors AMD at higher resolutions, but the differences are not large enough to really matter. Both teams will give you excellent results…as long as you are looking at factory overclocked cards. That honestly is not something everyone would have said about this ‘rebadge’ before testing, but the test results don’t lie.
