**Middle Earth :Shadow of Mordor Bench Thread**

[Gregster]

This game is pretty and has an in-game benchmark Why not have a benchmark thread for it then I thought, so here we are. No bickering please and keep it on topic.

Setting to be maxed with ultra set as per the images and add the high res DLC by following this guide.

'steam://install/311670
Paste that in your browser. Install will fail.
Right click the game, go to properties, and DLC tab. It'll be there, check it and let it download.'

And here is the bench video from that run with the settings to be used.

Might want to clarify whether the 9Gb high res add on is used???

Sure thing and leave it with me and I will investigate. probably better having it on?

 

[Gregster]

Added the HD pack now and thanks to Stooeh for the info on how to install it

 

[Gregster]

For those that have SLI, run nvinspector and add the F.E.A.R 3 profile to the sli bits and add the game.exe to the profile to get SLI running.

Also, I installed the HD pack and it didn't appear to add anything to performance hits or VRAM usage.

 

[Gregster]

Ohhh and just to add, I ran it at 200% (which is 5K?) and that used 5.7GB of VRAM. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some caching going on (as seen by Rankftw's results).

 

[Gregster]

So does the extra texture resolution really stand out in comparison to the original?

I don't think so. Don't get me wrong, the game looks fantastic but with the textures, it doesn't add much IMO.

 

[Gregster]

Can you put that image in spoilers please savgebeast

I will change to the correct AO on ultra for this as well (thanks for the heads up).

 

[Gregster]

Spoiler

Tri-SLI Titans at 1006/3005 - 3930K @ 4.2

 

[Gregster]

I will add all the scores in the morning chaps. Long tiring shift

 

[Gregster]

Scores all added chaps

 

[Gregster]

Why does Nvidia not have a driver out for a TWIMTBP title?

Agreed Pete, they should have.

 

[Gregster]

Man who doesn't use G-Sync seems to know more about it than those of us who do....

Best leave that one alone Shanks and can we get the thread back on topic please guys. Remember this is the bench thread and regardless of scores, don't turn it into a mud slinging contest please

 

[Gregster]

Guys, back on topic or posts will be deleted.

 

[Gregster]

Scores all added chaps

 

[Gregster]

Some impressive scores. A 290X beating a pair of 290s is very impressive

 

[Gregster]

And somewhat doubtful unless it goes absolutely bonkers with high OC's

Got any single Titan scores @1080p, Greg?

I don't get the option Pete and only inbetween resolutions to choose from.

 

[Gregster]

Well I have completed the main story and now I just have a few side missions to do. Pretty good game in truth and proper had a feel of LOTR. Ran extremely smooth for me on full ultra and the HD pack. Looks damned good as well

 

[Gregster]

Worked fine for me but also not on the latest AB.

 

[Gregster]

Someone told me to come here and compare results

I got to much hardware lying around

These are my results on 1080p and 4K all presets with vram usage aswell as frametimes

Nice write up and good testing methodology. Nice one
