November has officially started meaning obviously there has to be a new Call of
0:04
Duty release if you want to see all of our videos between this year's and next
0:08
year's Call of Duty benchmarking video Stay
0:17
subscribed The Cooler Master nepton 240m features an exclusive pump design and
0:22
their new silencio fans to provide impressive near silent performance click
0:27
now to learn more Call of Duty Advance Warfare has been very surprisingly
0:32
receiving really good reviews from even people like total biscuit my theory that
0:36
this is likely due to the third developer Sledgehammer their addition to
0:40
the mix seems to have not only added creativity but also a three-year
0:44
development cycle which is apparent
0:47
quite early due to the Fairly extensive settings menu and surprisingly enjoyable
0:52
gameplay before we jump into performance I must address the rather unfortunate
0:57
fact that multiplayer FPS has been capped an odd 91 FPS while I'm happy
1:03
this isn't a 30 FPS cap which we've seen in some games in the past I wish it was
1:08
either non-existent as it should be or
1:11
120 or 144 FPS because it is a
1:15
firstperson shooter and I know that there are Gamers like us out there that
1:19
would like to use our gaming grade monitors which are really fast and
1:23
developers aren't necessarily accommodating to us wanting to play
1:26
their game the best possible way for our 108 P benchmarking I ran everything on
1:32
Extra or when that wasn't necessarily available High alongside smaa t2x and
1:38
was quite happy with the results surprisingly enough the game actually
1:41
looks quite good and as yet again total
1:44
biscuit has pointed out the textures are impressively detailed for a Call of Duty
1:50
game keeping that in mind I was very happy to see that even cards like our
1:53
Radeon 260x set an average frame rate of over 60 FPS when running at 4K we
1:59
actually kept all the quality settings the same in order to push the system
2:04
that much harder even with the much heavier workload over half these cards
2:08
we tested at 4K were able to push an average of over 60 FPS which was great
2:13
to see I don't believe this game currently has SLI support but once it
2:17
does if you want to flex your performance muscles even more you can
2:20
have fun with the built-in super sampling settings as well another thing
2:24
to remember is that we don't run our gaming benchmarks with overclocked
2:27
graphics cards so these cards are all running their Factory overclocking
2:31
speeds also for those who may be wondering we're still using our default
2:35
Graphics test bench which should be able to remove any CPU based bottlenecks so
2:40
we can see the actual performance differences between the graphics cards
2:44
themselves now that that's all out of the way we're going to run you guys
2:48
through our benchmarking run for Call of Duty Advanced Warfare after a really
2:52
long cinematic and a press F key for
2:55
reconnaissance part of the mission you spawn in on traffic one thing you're
2:59
going to want to do on this one is always stay behind the kind of like
3:04
squad leader guy Gideon there his name showed up on screen forgot who he was um
3:09
so in this section it looks like they're running with their animation but you
3:13
actually just want to walk you sprint the very first section and then you walk
3:17
once you get behind them only breach through this door door once uh a jany
3:21
passes you course you have to completely Smash
3:26
down the simple th oh well anyway these
3:30
guys will come up and aim down at the street for a
3:33
second aiming at Friendly is always a good idea and then you follow Joker up
3:38
onto this side
3:42
ramp once you're up there again it looks like they're running but you actually
3:45
just want to hold W don't Sprint here as you'll go way too
3:52
fast once you're at the end of this platform you're going to want to jump
3:57
down but kind of delay a little bit like I do or else you go a little bit too
4:00
quickly and then follow Gideon up and close to the wall you're at the middle
4:05
section where it says climb on the wall so kind of follow him there and then
4:09
walk up against the wall I delay there again because Gideon takes a second to
4:12
get into place and I want my timing at the end of
4:17
this to be
4:23
perfect magnetic hands climb the wall and like he says
4:28
Dodge the window that window gloves won't stick to it I usually try to make
4:33
sure my hand goes right along the side of the framing of that window that way I
4:36
know I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be
4:39
climbing this part is canned but then when you turn around the corner all you
4:42
need to do is slowly walk up to the plant and then plant the mute charge and
4:47
then the whole rest of the thing should basically run itself through you want
4:51
the Benchmark to end exactly after this extremely dangerous explosive goes off I
4:56
love how he's like centime out of the way but anyways so right when that kind
4:59
of falls through you want the Benchmark to end right there not as you're jumping
5:03
in you want it to end before you start jumping in but if games aren't your
5:06
thing and you prefer books or if you're like me and you enjoy both gaming and
5:10
books you should check out audible.com they're an audiobook provider with a
5:14
library of over 150,000 titles and they
5:18
can make sure that they can keep up with your reading or rather listening on the
5:22
go whether you're working out commuting on public transit or adventuring like
5:26
the characters in Jr tolking the children of Hur I hope I'm pronouncing
5:30
that correctly the book started out as a series of manuscripts left behind by Jr
5:35
tolken himself and was completed by his son Christopher tolken and was then
5:40
published in 2007 I being a tolken fan
5:44
enjoyed it quite a lot and it's also narrated by Christopher freaking Lee so
