you know what I say tigers are Chumps I just took one out with a bow and arrow
0:12
with fire on it so there you go take that tiger but in all seriousness this
0:17
video is about our Far Cry 3 benchmarking procedure so we want to
0:20
show you guys exactly how we run it down
0:23
to well okay the settings will vary depending on what class of graphics
0:27
cards we're running but we want to show you how we achieve a reproducible real
0:32
world benchmarking scenario so it's in this case slick found one of the trials
0:36
that involves racing around a course and we want to show you guys how you can run
0:39
exactly the same Benchmark as us using fraps and compare your system to
0:43
whatever we're testing on our test bench this will give you a really good idea of
0:47
how it Stacks up compared to newer Hardware that comes out as we test it so
0:51
without further Ado here is Slick's benchmarking procedure for Far Cry

theic so what you see me doing actually has nothing to do with the benchmarking
3:47
procedure that you just saw quite clearly but oops shooting civilians will
3:52
not be tolerated I just blew one up like 2 seconds ago and it didn't seem to care
3:56
but I just want to show you guys what we run in fraps in order to Run The
4:00
Benchmark so settings wise we are going
4:03
to set a benchmarking hotkey and set it
4:06
to stop bench marking after 120 seconds we always run a two-minute run now I
4:11
would recommend for consistency's sake do some practice and see how close you
4:15
can get it with the same hardware and the same settings before you rely on
4:18
yourself to use this to actually measure performance so all you have to record is
4:22
min max and average and it's going to spit out a CSV file that looks a little
4:27
something like this c/ wraps benchmarks
4:30
and here's all the benchmarks we've run on this drive since we started it up so
4:35
here let's have a look at I don't know some Far Cry 3 Benchmark or something so
4:40
this will tell you the minimum the Max and the average apparently this
4:44
particular run slick was basically looking at a rock because that's very
4:48
very consistent mid Max and average but that's pretty much it don't forget to
