Benchmarks: Metro 2033, Splinter Prison cell Conviction

Metro 2033 has no built-in benchmark tool then we take relied on Fraps to gauge GPU performance. The "Chase" level was used where we recorded the showtime 60 seconds of the cart ride. The game was tested using DirectX eleven though Tessellation was disabled as it hammered operation too severely. Anti-aliasing was disabled and instead we used the default analytical anti-aliasing with 4xAF.

Well-nigh graphics cards struggle with Metro 2033 and when using the DirectX xi mode with AA/16xAF enabled forth with the maximum visual settings the lower-end/mid-range cards perform very poorly in our exam. Although we are running in the DX11 mode the features accept actually been disabled to try and produce a scenario where we run into playable frame rates.

The GeForce GTS 450 averaged 21fps making it faster than the Radeon HD 5770 while only slightly slower than the Radeon Hd 5830. The Palit GTS 450 Sonic Platinum was x% faster than the standard GTS 450 rendering an boilerplate of 23fps.

At 1680x1050 the GeForce GTS 450 SLI configuration averaged 39fps, an 86% performance boost over the single bill of fare. This as well meant they were able to nearly match the GeForce GTX 470 and edge out the Radeon Hd 5870.

Splinter Cell: Conviction Benchmarks

Splinter Prison cell: Conviction requires Fraps to measure out gameplay performance. For this game nosotros used the kickoff level "Merchant's Street Market" where we recorded 60 seconds of gameplay. The highest visual quality settings were used along with 4xAA/16xAF.

Splinter Jail cell Conviction is a much more than GPU friendly game and with all graphical settings maxed out including 4xAA/16xAF we all the same saw 36fps averaged past the GeForce GTS 450 at 1680x1050. The Palit GTS 450 Sonic Platinum graphics card was xix% faster with an average of 43fps being rendered, falling a single frame per second short of matching the Radeon Hard disk 5770.

Adding a second card allowed for an average of 66fps to be rendered, a salubrious 83% operation increase.
