Gaming Benchmarks: Crysis 2, Alien vs Predator & DiRT3
Crysis 2 caused controversy upon its release because it was by no means as ground breaking as the first rendition. It was ridiculed for pandering to the console masses but it has since been updated to include DX11 and tesselation upgrades which has made it into the game it should have always been.

The Adrenaline Crysis 2 Benchmark tool was used with overall settings set to ultra, DX11, 4xAA and Hi-Res tessellation packs applied. Central Park was the chosen map.



Spawned from the popular Alien and Predator franchises, Rebellion have collaborated to bring the legendary war to us through the medium of a first-person shooter. The game forces you to hunt, prey and most importantly survive in the swamp colony of Freya's prospect as a Predator, Alien or Marine. The stunning visuals add to the sense of dread and terror that we have become so accustomed to seeing with the series.

The stand-alone Alien VS Predator benchmark tool was used for testing here. All the settings were set to very high and Tessellation was applied. The average FPS was recorded at the end.



As players race to elevate their global standing, DiRT 3 is back delivering mud, sweat and gears world over: from the intense weather-beaten rally stages of Europe, Africa and the US, to executing performance driving showcases and career challenges where car control is pushed to spectacular limits.

The in-game benchmarking tool was used to test performance. All the display settings were set to the maximum available and DirectX 11 was applied. The average FPS was recorded at the end.
