Blacksite and Dead Space


Now we have the first of our game tests. Blacksite is a great little game - it looks good and provides a good performance indicator for hardware.


Blacksite.


The stock performance is slightly down compared to some of the beefier multi core CPU's and ones with greater cache specs. Overclocking does provide a very decent boost though bringing the chip back in line with some of the others I've tested.

Dead Space the survival horror game is a useful test for a system and seems to scale well with CPU, GPU and resolution changes.


Dead Space.


Yet again the performance figures suggest a very slight dip in absolute framerate but this certainly doesn't effect gameplay in any way. Once the 255 is clocked the numbers yet again pull close to much more expensive competition.
