Scars Above: PC Performance Benchmarks for Old Graphics Cards and Processors
| BASIC INFORMATION ON THE GAME |
Testing older graphics cards in Scars Above has been done to determine performance on these devices. Some players may have older PCs or laptops that don't have new graphics cards and need to know how the game works on their systems.
| IRON IN TESTS |
With all possible support in expanding the test bench for this type of testing, GIGABYTE kindly helped us .

-
Blueprints: UE4 has a handy programming system for creating complex game logic. Blueprints is a visual programming language that allows you to create scripts without using code. It can be used to create simple scenarios as well as complex gameplay mechanics.
-
Cross-Platform: UE4 supports multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. This allows developers to create games for a large number of platforms using a single codebase.
-
Scalability: UE4 can handle both small and large projects. It provides various tools to optimize the performance of game worlds and reduce the load on the processor and graphics card.
-
VR support: UE4 has integrated tools for creating virtual reality. It supports many VR devices and has dedicated tools for developing VR applications.
-
Social Tools: UE4 provides tools for creating social features in games such as friend systems, notifications, rankings, achievements, and more.

| TEST PART |
In the test of video cards, the default resolution is 1920x1080, other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most productive CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.
You can choose and buy a video card model or one close to it by clicking on the link from any position of our modular charts from our partner Telemart .
At a resolution of 1920x1080, an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon RX 470 or GeForce GTX 1060 level . A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the Radeon RX 470 or GeForce GTX 1060 level . A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by Radeon RX 580 or GeForce GTX 1060 solutions .
At a resolution of 2560x1440, an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon RX 470 or GeForce GTX 1060 level . A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the Radeon RX 470 or GeForce GTX 1060 level . A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by Radeon RX Vega 56 or GeForce GTX 1070 solutions .
At a resolution of 3840x2160, an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon RX Vega 56 or GeForce GTX 1070 level . A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the level Radeon RX Vega 56 or GeForce GTX 1070 .
| VIDEO MEMORY CONSUMPTION |
Testing of the video memory consumed by the game was carried out by the MSI Afterburner program. The results on video cards from AMD and NVIDIA at resolutions of 1920x1080, 2560x1440 and 3840x2160 with various anti-aliasing settings were taken as the indicator. By default, the graph displays the most up-to-date solutions. Other graphics cards are added and removed from the chart at the reader's request.

At a resolution of 1920x1080, video memory consumption for video cards with 6 gigabytes will be 3 gigabytes , with 8 gigabytes it will be 3 gigabytes .
At a resolution of 2560x1440, video memory consumption for video cards with 6 gigabytes will be 4 gigabytes , with 8 gigabytes it will be 4 gigabytes .
At a resolution of 3840x2160, video memory consumption for video cards with 6 gigabytes will be 5 gigabytes , with 8 gigabytes it will be 5 gigabytes .
| CPU TEST |
Testing was carried out at a resolution of 1920x1080. In the processor test, you can remove and add any positions of the processors. You can also select any tested video card from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the results of processor tests (by default, the most productive solution from NVIDIA is selected). Testing takes place on the most productive NVIDIA and AMD video cards and scales up to lower models.
