Quite a cool little benchmark just came out, Physx, Direct X 11 and some other good stuff

Ah... The reasonably rendered with cloth effect red rag to certain bulls.

Looks cool.

Cheers, will give it a go

Lovely looking demo.

Ran smooth as silk at max settings with no stutter, 1920x1200, 4xMSAA and Physx High on the 304.48 driver. Not sure what my score was as I had vsync on but it showed 59fps average which considering it was capped at 60 was pretty good I guess.

The textures are extremely sub-par. Could this be intentional because of the supposed memory bandwidth limits of Kepler?

Well they used quality textures on the clothes with some physx ofcourse.

straxusii · 19 Jun 2012 at 17:28

Did you up the texture res in settings, they don't default to the highest?

shankly1985 · 19 Jun 2012 at 17:28

Maybe stupid question but can a AMD card run this?

shankly1985 · 19 Jun 2012 at 17:46

Runs fine PhysX auto switches off. Dont look has good like but runs good.

great looking benchmark, works perfect in 3D too, only part i thought was weak was the phsyx

textures are fine?? besides, putting high res textures in a game would never cripple a 6xx card unless it took it over the 2GB vram limit (highly unlikely)

I mean in the link, look at the picture frame in the screenshot, that looks like low quality textures to me. Maybe they where not using high texture settings?

Probably, but you would have to turn the physx off.

I'm guessing the textures have been crunched down a bit so the benchmark isn't like a 3gig download - they are adequate but a little ropey. (I did turn them upto high).

Runs very smooth for the amount of stuff onscreen tho some of the explosions seemed to be simulated at about 5fps at times I'm guessing they are using some kinda adaptive physics tickrate to attempt to keep the rendering rate above a certain level.

1920 x 1200, all high/max, no PhysX.

44.2 average, 67.4 max

5870 @ 910/1275.

Rubbish benchmark is rubbish. Couldn't uninstall it quick enough. Eye candy is poor imho and why didn't it use Havok physics as well as PhysX? Nvidia funding...

Larrs888 · 29 Jun 2012 at 12:00

Here is mine, 1920X1080, FXAA high, Textures high, PhysX Medium:

I wasn't that impressed with the graphics to be honest, sure there are some nice effects but as with all UT3 engine games the colours are washed out.

Gotta try this when i get home...
