WEBVTT 00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:13.519 With its factory tuning and data center DNA, an Intel 730 series SSD is an 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:17.840 amazing choice for gamers and performance enthusiasts. Hey there, 00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:21.439 guys. Welcome to my Thief benchmarking overview video. We're going to be 00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:26.560 testing things today on the standard test bench of 4960X clocked at 4.0 0 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:31.760 GHz, about 16 gigs of RAM clocked at 1866 MHz, and a variance of GPUs whose 00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:35.920 overclocking settings you can find in the GPU overclocking dock linked below 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:40.800 this video. So, I broke up the graphics cards into three tiers. There's the 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:45.360 extreme tier with $500 plus graphics cards, which is running on very high 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:50.879 preset with one thing changed so that it goes to custom, which is anotropic 00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:53.039 filtering at 16x running at 1600p. 00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:58.000 That's the crazy tier. Then one step down, we've got around 300 to $400 tier 00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:04.080 where we're running just on the very high preset at uh 16x inotropic 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:06.880 filtering, but at 1080p, not 1600p like 00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:11.040 the tier above. And then one step down, which is where we're running at 1080p 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:16.640 again, but just on the high preset and no custom values at all. And that's at 00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:18.320 about the $150 $170 range. Two things, 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.720 guys. These numbers are very subject to change. NVIDIA and AMD will assuredly be 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:27.119 releasing drivers in the future as they always do and they will probably be 00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:31.439 including optimizations for Thief. So, both of these numbers for either teams 00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:36.799 could go up in varying amounts. We're not entirely sure, but for now, you can 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:41.360 just use it as kind of a educated guess on how well this card will perform in 00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:46.280 the future if you do buy one or if you have one already. Also another thing is 00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:52.000 these numbers were pulled from neweag.com which is an American website 00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:57.040 and especially AMD cards pricing on this website is very skewed because in the 00:01:54.240 --> 00:02:00.799 states especially pricing for AMD cards has gone a little bit nuts because of 00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:04.399 coin mining. So if you're someone who's not in the states looking at this video, 00:02:02.479 --> 00:02:08.319 maybe a card falls into another bracket. So I would highly suggest checking out 00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:13.280 and comparing the dollar value of these cards on your own, especially if you are 00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:14.640 outside of the States. 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.840 All right, guys. So, here's the benchmarking run so you guys can either 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:22.239 replicate it on your own or just see generally what I'm doing. We start just 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:26.160 outside of the main hideout in Thief. And then, well, this isn't a crazy 00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:30.239 action game or is it supposed to be played as a crazy action game. So, 00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:34.560 unlike a lot of my benchmarks, I'm not going to run around killing as many people as I can within the 2 minutes. 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:38.879 I'm actually just going to kind of go around and do some things that you might 00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:42.319 do in Thief for 2 minutes. And you'll notice that not a fair amount of it is 00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:45.519 actually just looking in different places or like crouching at certain 00:02:44.239 --> 00:02:49.720 times and crouching through certain areas. That's mainly for timing so that 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:54.640 I can actually easily replicate this run. As you can see here, I've actually 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:58.400 already looted this house on a previous playth through, but I knew exactly where 00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:02.239 the house was and I knew I could navigate through it quite easily, so I 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.720 went back there for this play through. Just stay alert 00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:14.400 once I get through this window here. Uh, I had to save a few times to find a 00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:18.159 proper save for this as there's two guards in this courtyard. I can't waste 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.360 a ton of time trying to sneak around the guards because that's not going to be 00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:25.920 the easiest thing to replicate. So, I try to find a save file where I could actually do this properly. So, if you're 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:33.040 trying to replicate this on your own, you might have to save a couple times to try and make sure that the guards are in 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:33.040 the right spot. But, it's not too bad. 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.480 rock teeth. 00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:44.080 One thing I use is the sweep mechanic, as you saw right there, um, which is 00:03:41.920 --> 00:03:48.200 built into the game to actually traverse without being seen too easily. 00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:56.959 I try to get light late areas, dark areas, uh, sweeping mechanics, 00:03:55.040 --> 00:03:59.599 crouching, running, walking, all that kind of stuff in this benchmark to try 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:03.120 and show all the different things that you'll probably be doing in Thief quite 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:10.280 actively. We're nearing the end now after we climb down this ladder. 00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:19.759 And as we run up the stairs, we're coming right to the end. We're going to 00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:24.560 crouch here and then shift through the light. And the benchmark should end 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.560 right about here. 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:29.840 Hungry. All right, guys. Thanks for watching my Thief video.

While you're on the forum, be sure to 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:51.199 check out the thread for this video as I'll more likely see your comment there 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:55.520 as the YouTube's comment section just gets insane sometimes and I can't even 00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:58.160 reply to people and ridiculous. Uh, while you're on the forum, if you get 00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:02.080 tired of the ads, be sure to check out the contributor thing in the store.

And we are now selling shirts. There's some 00:05:08.320 --> 00:05:13.680 pretty cool ones coming on the way. I know Lionus has a Holy Balls shirt 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:18.560 coming out with cats all over it playing with cat toys. Of course, that's exactly 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:23.200 what he means by that. But anyways guys, thanks again for watching and I'll see 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:47.249 you guys next time.
