NVIDIA welcome to my Battlefield 3 benchmarking guide where it will be
hosted by not me slick hosts these so
you guys will be going along with him on a little run through so we're not doing
any performance results in this one so the rig he's using is his personal rig
which is a 2600k and a 660 Ti actually
it's not this 660 Ti it's some completely different one so don't worry too much about that but whatever frame
rates you guys see those are on random settings we're not really standardizing
anything so don't worry too much about it but he's also going to explain what
happened with some frame rate dips that occur due to save games so what we're
showing you guys is the two-minute run through that we use at various settings
usually on I believe it's extreme preset or Ultra preset or whatever the very
highest one is because Battlefield runs pretty darn well it's Ultra and so it's
a two-minute run through the comrads level in a specific way so you'll get
all the tips you need for how to run the Benchmark exactly the way we do so you
can easily compare against all the graphics cards that we're testing as
well as comparing your rig against what we've got over here all right so after
that really long cinematic what we're going to do is just run up to this Waypoint here and cut the wires inside
the room um you want to just start The Benchmark right when you start running
um so the second you start running away from the car is when you start the Benchmark just cut the wires right here
you'll notice a little bit of a frame dip right there right when it started saving that's mainly because I'm
recording with fraps at the same time usually it doesn't really feel that at
all right here I just walk behind uh
Vladimir here I think his name is Vladimir and then the other guy kind of
skirts around the left side wait for him to get a little bit in front of me and
then I'll start running as well I just don't want to actually run into anyone
to make inconsistencies I'm just going to take
these guys out here oh apparently he didn't die there
we go taking him out now we're going to scirt around the right side of these
pillars do consistent again and then
what you're mainly going to do here is just fight take everybody out um this
part can get a little bit hectic but if you run it a few times there is a bit of
a rhythm to it uh the enemies come out like the the guys that came out of the
stairs right there will come out from the stairs at the exact same time every
time different people behind different pillars might slightly change but the
fight is generally similar stuff like that guy over there can be anomalies
he's not usually running there but just make sure you take everyone out you'll
notice the saving point when everyone dies and then wait for them to get on
each side of the door and then run through why that bike was there I have
no idea but it's not really a big deal um follow them down here then you'll
notice three enemies coming up from the right side just fit yourself in between these
two cars and take them out the lights are really annoying um but they go in
the same three fixed positions every time so it's not really that big of a
deal again there's a little bit of a frame dip there but that's mainly cuz
I'm recording with fraps at the same time and it went for a safe just to make
timing of the benchmarks consistent at the very end shoot these Windows out you
don't want to run much further down because there's a rocket that will come
out and hit that pillar and that will make your benchmark inconsistent so just
sit up here and shoot the Windows and then you're done thanks for watching guys as always
don't forget to subscribe and like and do all those little things with the
clicky mouse that is attached to the computer with the USB and all of that
good stuff and hey we'd love for you guys to check out our Forum so there is
a link in the description of the video where we have a thread where you guys
can actually post your own results since you're all running the same standardized
Benchmark now it's easy to compare hair and you don't have to worry about sort
of optimization here or can Benchmark there because everything here is running
pretty much the same thing in a real world gaming environment so see you guys
next time for more benchmarking guides and all that kind of good stuff and I
think I'm pretty much done here now
