Real World In-Game Benchmarks
In the Real Gaming Benchmarks section we will show a number of timed real world game play results using FRAPS and four popular modern PC games. This will illustrate how much performance the GeForce GTX 780Ti XLR8 has to offer and do so in a way which cannot be unduly skewed by driver ‘optimizations’ which have been included for the sole purpose of improving benchmark results. While not as common as it once was such optimizing is still not unheard of by either AMD or NVIDIA. Once again Unigine’s Valley benchmark was run for 15 minutes to ‘warm up’ the video card prior to testing.
Battlefield 4 Gaming Benchmark
Battlefield 4 is first person shooter video game, published by EA Digital Illusions CE and released in October 2013. Unlike most, this games does not include an in-game benchmark. This makes it perfect for more real world gaming tests. To obtain repeatable results we have used FRAPs and recorded the first 90 seconds of the single player Tashgar level. An average of four runs was taken.
The settings used in the testing below are Ultra pre-set for quality, with VSync disabled and a resolution of 12560×1440 and 1920×1080.
Double digit percentage increase on average frames per seconds and an 5 – 6 additional frames added to the minimum scores over what a typical GTX 780 can do, what’s not to love about this kind of improvement?! Of course it does come at the cost of an additional $150 dollars, but up until the Ti models the only way to get better than GTX Titan performance was to go the SLI route, a route which is not without its own host of problems.
