Star Wars Battlefront many many games in
history have a massive trail of controversy follow them but this one has
been one hell of a doozy with IGN flipping back and forth between loving
it and hating it and the rest of the internet H not being entirely positive
it's been one hell of a ride the beta is here now so how does it stack up well
this is the wrong channel for a review but stay tuned to see how it performs
and stay subscribed if you're interested in more of these game benchmarking videos this holiday season

surprisingly smooth experience of playing Battlefield was nice I must say
I was half expecting 60 or even worse 30 FPS frame cap but it never came
Battlefront was actually running very well the whole time I felt like I'd been
transported to another world or something and this is why we decided to
Benchmark the game despite it being in beta so yes as I just said the game is
in beta but the release date is coming up very soon November 16th to be exact
and due to its performance being seemingly pretty well tuned I kind of
thought that we could give you guys some insight into the potential performance
of this game so without further Ado this is how I benchmarked it this Benchmark
will be conducted on survival Tatooine the reason for this is that this is a
predominantly multiplayer game but multiplayer games are very rough to
benchmarks so we wanted to do a single player segment that being said this single player segment isn't that amazing
or consistent skip this cut scene by the way um but it's better than multiplayer
I do recommend running it about three times just to get a good score though
wait for Admiral abar to finish talking and kind of line yourself up with this
particular pathway that should be basically right in front of you once
Admiral black bar is done talking you'll see the kind of pie circle thing at the
top right when that's finished right when wave one begins start your
benchmark and start running forward you'll see in the top kind of middle to
the left area there's a timer that should actually perfectly line up with
your benchmark so when that hits 2 minutes your benchmark should end follow
this pathway up into the right down there where I was looking they might Spawn from there they might also Spawn
from up here they happen to spawn behind me this time if they're not directly in
your shooting path do not shoot at them so don't turn around to kill them uh
just follow this path up into the right and then curve around the corner to the
right again up into the left sorry and then curve around the corner to the right um one thing that I'm going to
take time to talk about during this segment is that the game looks actually
kind of really good I like the amount of debris that's around that's one thing
that I appreciate a lot the rocks that are everywhere you'll see as we're
walking up here the rock kind of falls down and looks actually pretty realistic
it makes it feel like a more full environment and I actually like that a
lot take the right side up here when you get up up to this corner um they might
start shooting at you they might not depends on where they are but don't shoot at them pretty much no matter
where they are this ramp don't go down the ramp go on the right side but then
kind of run off the ledge directly in front of you land on the half ledge and
then fall all the way down run to the end of this elevated path go on the
right side of the rock structure and then as you're going on the right side
turn to the left and fall off the side run up the ramp here again this is the
same ramp that we're running up near the beginning but now they're going to be in
front of you if you didn't kill them at the beginning and you're going to want to kill them here if you do clear the
whole wave wave two will spawn but that is okay if you don't clear the whole
wave like there I left one enemy left alive uh they won't spawn and you're
totally fine go along the same path that you went along before and then you're
basically just going to run this until the Benchmark ends so as you can see in the top left hand corner I've got about
15 seconds left and that should mean that the Benchmark will probably end
right on the corner up here now now for graphics cards our NVIDIA product stack
is pretty self-explanatory but the AMD lineup seems a little wonko our Fury is
out for replacement if you check out this graphic from kit Gru we do have a
pretty good representation of their product stack but not perfect kind of
close but oh well for boner we have a 260x which will actually perform
slightly better than the 360 for pit Kar we unfortunately don't have a proper
replacement because we don't have a 265
but we just kind of slotted our 270 in there for good measure our 285 is a
fairly strong representation of the Tonga category but its main drawback is
the 2 gigs of vram versus 4 and then for Hawaii we have both the old but crazy
value R9 290 and the fancy new 390x and
then to cap things off as best as we could we have the tiny little fury Nano
so yeah admittedly not perfect but hopefully an okay representation of what
the red team had to offer and what was impressive though and it actually
pertains to this video properly is that even cards like the 750 TI and 260x
which are like 100 bucks in change on newegg.com were both able to run the
game at 1080p with ultra settings at over 30 FPS drop those settings just a
little bit or jump up to something like the 960 or 285 and you've got a really
solid gaming experience for really cheap in conclusion for a pretty damn
attractive looking game Battlefront actually runs pretty smooth on a variety
of setups and I never ran into any major
issues feels weird to say it but good job EA battle nation is the place where
