Our video cards were tested at different screen sizes 1920×1080, 2560×1440 и 3840×2160 withgraphics quality settings Outlaw. When the + symbol is used in graphs FSR/DLSS, then this means that FSR/DLSS tested in mode Quality. NVIDIA graphics cards that do not support frame generation with DLSS-3.0, were tested in the mode FSR3.0.
8GB video cards did not take part in the test, as they do not have enough video memory…
Our last test using the CPU.
| GPU TEST |
In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920×1080; 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 powerful CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.
