1
00:00:07,439 --> 00:00:14,679
okay so this is to you guys have been asking me forever for multiplayer

2
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:20,560
Battlefield 3 benchmarks and since I suck at video games I'm getting slick to

3
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:24,279
handle this for me so he's basically on

4
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:27,160
map Firestorm Firestorm thank you and he

5
00:00:24,279 --> 00:00:31,320
is going to rip along the same path in this Jeep and hope he doesn't die for a

6
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:34,680
two minute run he's going to sort of head into some more intensive areas than

7
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:40,120
just being out in the desert I hope at some point uh yeah he's heading over to

8
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:43,000
like some yeah stuff's going down now see you can see he's going to like smash

9
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,160
into a car you have to hit that car again next time I hope you know

10
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:57,440
that if you can hit the same mine again next time then we're

11
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:59,199
okay Slick's trying again he's sort of

12
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:03,720
saying that maybe the Jeep wasn't the greatest

13
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:06,400
oh no three

14
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:11,439
tanks the point of this video is for Battlefield 3 multiplayer users who are

15
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:18,680
are want to know whether to get a GTX 660 Ti or what by our Reckoning is the

16
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:22,680
most equivalent card the radon HD if I

17
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,960
can find it 7950 so this guy right here

18
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:31,280
so we are just going to be doing a head-to-head showdown of 660 Ti power

19
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:33,320
Edition from MSI versus Sapphire 7950 OC

20
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,399
with the dual fan cooler these are going to be running at their stock overclocked

21
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:41,880
settings so we're not overclocking them further but they are going to be running

22
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:46,200
at slightly overclocked settings so slick is doing a two-minute run in a

23
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:50,600
tank since the Jeep thing didn't work out very well for us in order to give us

24
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:56,960
some real gameplay sort

25
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:58,119
of uh is that normal under attack under

26
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:02,479
attack okay see I haven't played Battlefield

27
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:07,399
anything really much at all and he's apparently getting pwned in some way

28
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,879
maybe he should just do this on foot this time we're going to go in the tank

29
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:15,160
for a little bit and then uh Slick's going to get out and just go on foot in

30
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:19,239
order to infiltrate the enemy base because we haven't gotten anywhere near

31
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:24,680
the enemy base yet we've been in their base apparently the mine was something

32
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:28,879
to do with their base he's nodding but I don't believe

33
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,040
him so fire the cannon like isn't that

34
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:34,160
what people do NVIDIA games we're trying to have like gameplay footage

35
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:38,760
here or not footage but like you know real world gaming performance of this

36
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,360
graphics card so we're recording with fraps this is going to be a really long

37
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:46,000
video just due to all the epic failures that are in it but uh I don't know

38
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:51,920
you're you're probably going to get pwned again here unless you can see see

39
00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:56,599
you're going to die I'm not going to die you might

40
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,959
die you're basically dying now no every

41
00:02:56,599 --> 00:03:02,360
moment you stay alive is one minute closer to death

42
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:05,799
okay you killed a guy that's good you got 100 points that's probably more

43
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,799
points than I have on my Battlefield 3 account so we're going to do two runs

44
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:12,920
one with this card one with the other card and we are going to bring you the

45
00:03:10,519 --> 00:03:17,280
results incidentally this is a very full server so this will give us a realistic

46
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:21,200
idea of how our 3930k and these video cards will perform with 16 gigs of RAM

47
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:25,720
in Battlefield 3 in a real game if we can ever get the Benchmark done if slick

48
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:31,200
can stay alive for two minutes so slick took so long to manage two runs where he

49
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:33,400
didn't die that I got food uh if you can

50
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:37,959
call that food uh so basically what we concluded is that in Battlefield 3

51
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:44,680
multiplayer at 1080p at all Maximum settings Ultra presets is that the GTX

52
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:45,840
660 Ti achieves well I don't know if it

53
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:52,239
was their goal or I don't know what they were trying to do but at stock speeds it

54
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,239
comes in and eats the 7950 is lunch

55
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:59,079
they're very very close they both had exactly the same minimum FPS in the game

56
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:05,200
doing approximately the same run with nice full servers

57
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,799
and the 660ti is cheaper so there you go

58
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,799
also you get support for all those NVIDIA Technologies like 3D Vision as

59
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:14,400
well as fizx which this game doesn't care about but some of them do such as

60
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:18,000
Borderlands 2 or Batman Arkham City or whatever else and I think that pretty

61
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:22,360
much wraps up this video so slick do you want to give them a nice good view of

62
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:27,160
the graph where you can see the approximately sort of 3% difference in

63
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:31,360
performance between the two cards showing you that the 660 Ti is pretty

64
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,520
much a a beast don't forget to subscribe to L's Tech tips from unboxings reviews

and other computer videos and

66
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,639
cross no I'm just kidding it doesn't work like that but what it does work

67
00:04:41,479 --> 00:04:49,199
like is results for you guys whoops so slick did finally manage

68
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:54,800
to get some benchmarks done and what we discovered is that the 7950 and the 660

69
00:04:51,960 --> 00:05:01,919
Ti are basically neck and neck when it comes to Battlefield 3 Performance so

70
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:04,120
there you go thank you for coming along

71
00:05:01,919 --> 00:05:07,520
with us on this wild ride of learning which one actually performs better in

72
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:11,479
multiplayer you know what I didn't do is I didn't compare these results to our

73
00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:15,560
single player performance because I've had people complaining bitter to me

74
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:18,319
bitterly to me that I only Benchmark singleplayer performance and that

75
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:22,199
multiplayer is much more demanding and much more different so the

76
00:05:20,039 --> 00:05:29,400
7950 was within a couple percentage points and

77
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:32,840
the 660 Ti looks like was within a

78
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,960
couple perc so in future I will continue

79
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:38,479
to Benchmark Battlefield 3 using single player and you guys will all like it
