1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,000
the crew is an Ubisoft title so naturally I expect it to barely run at

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:10,679
all and have a ton of issues right off the bat spoiler alert at least in my

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:15,160
testing it was totally stable on all single card configurations that I ran

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:20,480
but I think Linus is planning to do a test for our upcoming dual 980 versus

5
00:00:17,439 --> 00:00:23,119
Triple 970 SLI so down so stay

00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,119
subscribed for

7
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:33,360
that from December 13th to 20th 2014 you

00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:38,200
can save on select Intel CPUs kns and ssds with special holiday rebates from

00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:42,640
select retailers click now to learn more well I haven't played any more than

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:46,559
the first couple minutes of the game I can't say how good it is because of that

11
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:51,039
but the internet seems to be pretty undecided on the topic from what I

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:55,280
played however the PC Port seems fairly solid as it didn't crash on me once and

13
00:00:53,320 --> 00:01:01,359
I didn't see a single graphical glitch something that I can't say for any other

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:03,160
recent AAA game releases

15
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:06,119
so The Benchmark starts right at the beginning of the game honestly at this

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:10,119
point in time I don't even know the protagonist name I don't know anything

17
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:15,720
about what's going on all I know is that you're being chased by cops and if that's a spoiler you probably haven't

18
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:19,759
seen any trailer or the box art for this game uh all you're going to actually do

19
00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:23,360
is just kind of Chase the checkpoints for the beginning so go through all

20
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:29,520
these fields smash through a whole bunch of stuff what you're going to want to try to avoid is smashing through cops or

21
00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:34,240
really heavy things like that so farm equipment or cops is that will turn the

22
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,479
front of your car too much and could actually affect the Benchmark when

23
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:41,280
you're going across this highway there's about three cop cars that come on the

24
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:45,799
highway so try not to t-bone them that unfortunate horse doesn't die by the way

25
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:50,360
he just super humanly moves out of the way extremely quickly when you jump down

26
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:54,040
into the swamp try to aim kind of in between the bushes here you'll see

27
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:58,600
there's a a ramp if you're doing your testing here it's not super important

28
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,280
whether or not you go around or over the ramp but if you do one or the other you

29
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:06,640
have to do that consistently because it does make enough of a difference that it

30
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,720
matters so go either over the ramp or around the ramp no big deal now if you

31
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:14,000
kept on going straight there you would have actually finished the mission and continued with the game we're not trying

32
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:18,720
to play this game we're just trying to Benchmark it so take a U-turn after you

33
00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:22,599
get past or go over that ramp and start heading towards the electrical Tower off

34
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:27,840
in the distance what you're going to then do is get this freaking cop off of

35
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:31,680
you and try to go around the right side of the Tower and onto the highway you're

36
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,560
going to get into the far side of the highway so the traffic is actually going

37
00:02:33,239 --> 00:02:38,480
with you or the interstate or something I don't know this is somewhere in

38
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,560
America so I'm not entirely sure and then you're going to go along this for

39
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:48,840
the rest of the duration of your benchmark which should be another 10ish

40
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,200
seconds unit down repeat unit down one

41
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:55,959
thing to keep in mind when looking at our 1080p numbers is that there is a 60

42
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:58,040
or 30fps limit on the game regardless of

43
00:02:55,959 --> 00:03:05,000
whether or not you're running vsync this resulted in the max FPS yes for our 290

44
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:07,959
290x 780ti 970 and 980 to be at the

45
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,599
exact FPS limit at 4K all of our configurations had a fair bit of trouble

46
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:16,480
and the only card that actually hit the FPS limit at high settings was the 980

47
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,680
even though I think it kind of just scraped it this game was surprisingly

48
00:03:18,519 --> 00:03:25,599
hard to run considering it's a car game but it also looks surprisingly good for

49
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:29,040
a car game I'm impressed speaking of gaming I bet some of you out there are

50
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:32,920
pretty entrenched in the new WoW expansion right above now well if you've

51
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:36,720
been thinking I really do enjoy this new expansion but I wish I had something to

52
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:40,760
keep me entertained while I tend to the endless duties of my Garrison then Hulu
