00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:07.839
so crisis 2 and the GTX 590 are both out

00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:11.320
so for this uh heavyweight battle I have

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:14.080
the GTX 590 as well as the Radeon HD

00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:17.640
6990 and then whatever else I get around to benchmarking before the end of the

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:21.960
day you can see my video card box is right there so uh I'll figure out what

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:25.720
makes sense but I'm going to do some crisis 2 benchmarks since this is my

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:30.240
first time benching crisis 2 I just want to show you guys what methodology I'll

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:35.239
be using to test it so first of all you can see in the options I have configured

00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:38.719
it at 1080p with no vsync so that I can get a more accurate reading you can see

00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:43.680
the frame rate can clearly go over a thousand in the menu and I'm using the

00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:48.640
extreme system spec and then that's pretty much it there's honestly it just

00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:52.879
reaks of console Port it just does I mean you turn it on it asks you to

00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:56.840
adjust your TV and then you go in there there's no real anti-aliasing options or

00:00:55.079 --> 00:01:00.640
anything like that the reason that I am using the options that are in here

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:03.840
rather than custom in things in the control panel is that I want you guys to

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:08.840
be able to replicate the results easily at home so here we go I am going to go

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:14.040
ahead and resume my game it also does not have save games or loading games or

00:01:12.119 --> 00:01:18.280
load games so I have to just play through a particular checkpoint and then

00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:23.280
make sure that I die before I get to the next checkpoint which is epic fail so

00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:27.079
basically I'm going to point myself this way I'm going to press my Benchmark

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:31.320
start button and I will be playing for 2 minutes I have a little route that I'm

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:36.720
going to follow and I'll I'll be focused mostly

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:39.680
on following my path and less on killing

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:45.040
specific guys so I go to that one side make sure he's dead and then I'm going

00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.600
to head towards the camp that I have to

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.920
infiltrate I'm going to be using a walking speed so that my run throughs

00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:55.159
will be fairly consistent and this guy can die now I am

00:01:52.600 --> 00:02:01.079
playing on easy mode sorry guys it just really is a lot easier to Benchmark on

00:01:58.039 --> 00:02:05.000
easy than it is to

00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:06.799
um Benchmark on like hard mode because

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:10.560
this guy see won't turn around on easy and I can kill him instead of trying to

00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:14.840
deal with whatever he's going to be throwing at me if I don't kill him ahead

00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:19.800
of time so I'm going to go up these stairs

00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:22.800
here should be a guy here let's see

00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:24.480
there he is hello now you're dead now

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:31.519
you're dead there we go I'm going to head down this way and back towards the entrance where

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:31.519
he'll die

00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.760
and this is like I said it's about a two-minute run

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.519
through you'll

00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:46.200
die and the most important thing is just

00:02:43.959 --> 00:02:51.200
lots of scenery I'm going to blow up some barrels later on just to see how

00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:53.360
low the frame rate dips and uh following

00:02:51.200 --> 00:03:01.040
the same consistent run through is what I am aiming for here so you guys can die

00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:05.080
yay spray and prey you can die and then I'm going to be headed over

00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:10.239
here to blow up these barrels and hopefully they'll stop shooting me boom

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:15.319
very nice and then I'm going to wait here for fraps to stop reporting and

00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:20.360
just do some sniping from here so this should give me fairly consistent results

00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:24.760
based on what I've seen so far and when frap stops recording it'll

00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:28.599
show the frame rate counter up in the top right again there we go so frabs has

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:34.360
stopped recording so here I'll share with you guys in the intro my results

00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:38.000
with crisis 2 running at 1080p in the

00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:41.239
extreme preset with the GTX 590 so then

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.599
all I do is go into my fraps folder go

00:03:41.239 --> 00:03:47.120
into my benchmarks folder and bring up this little file so that is what I used

00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:51.720
to compile my results I'm going to run some other video cards through this game

00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:56.000
and find out how they stack up in this latest and greatest crisis 2 title be in

00:03:53.959 --> 00:03:59.239
mind guys it's not direct X11 yet because there's no patch for it at the

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:06.519
moment so what I'll probably do is retest once we have direct X11 as

00:04:02.519 --> 00:04:10.840
well so um I will not be releasing a

00:04:06.519 --> 00:04:13.439
crisis 2 GPU guide video today because

00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:19.160
there are some issues with the game so number one with my radon 6990 and just

00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:24.560
for Giggles I tried a different one to see if that would fix the problem it did

00:04:20.799 --> 00:04:27.280
not uh with my 6990 I get this awesome

00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:32.600
awesome flickering issue outstanding so there's a 13 page thread on some crisis

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:37.080
Forum or other where people are anyone running multi-GPU is complaining about

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:40.280
flickering performance issues uh some people are getting uh the bloom effects

00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:46.199
flickering others are getting Shadows flickering I'm getting a whole screen flickering so I have no idea what that

00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:49.759
means in terms of this performance number and how close that is to how

00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:54.240
it'll actually run but like look at this isn't this outstanding I could get a

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:59.960
headache playing like this in like a minute I mean the game runs I suppose

00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:03.960
but yeah it's uh pretty apparent that nobody at EA or krych thought it

00:05:01.919 --> 00:05:08.960
necessary to ever test the game with a multi-GPU setup based on how many people

00:05:06.840 --> 00:05:13.720
are having issues so my performance review will have to wait and uh so yeah

00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:19.120
on the NVIDIA side guess what this this is actually kind of funny because where

00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:23.080
did my GTX 590 go oh here it

00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:28.680
is the GTX 590 actually runs crisis 2

00:05:23.080 --> 00:05:30.759
just fine I get 91.7 FPS compared to 62

00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:35.000
FPS at the same settings with the GTX 580 so that's probably about right

00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:41.240
considering how much lower it's clocked and sort of decent but not great scaling

00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:43.639
but get this my GTX 580 SLI setup

00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:47.880
actually scores only about 57 frames per second with my same playthrough so that

00:05:45.880 --> 00:05:53.280
means that while it doesn't flicker like the 6990 does my performance actually

00:05:50.440 --> 00:05:56.800
goes down in SLI with my particular SLI setup some people running SLI are

00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:01.000
complaining about flickering and other random issues too but that doesn't seem

00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:05.759
to be the problem I'm having with my system I've tried wiping drivers uh

00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:10.520
there's a fix out there it involves renaming the exe which because I'm using

00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:15.240
a steam copy I cannot do so guys basically this is just a teaser video

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:20.919
that I will be doing a performance review of Crisis 2 as soon as I'm able

00:06:18.440 --> 00:06:25.520
to run all of my cards with it and I will be including as many gpus as I

00:06:22.919 --> 00:06:28.919
possibly can to give you guys the most comprehensive results don't forget to

00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:34.560
