To get around this, I've captured the 30 seconds of simulated gameplay using FRAPS. But there's a catch: the results collected by the benchmark include extra frames rendered before and after the actual gameplay, which can radically skew the results. I've included three or four cards at each test setting that are reasonable options-so while I did run benchmarks with low-end graphics cards at 1440p and 4K, the video will focus on budget cards at 1080p medium, mainstream cards at 1080p ultra, and high-end hardware for 1440p and 4K ultra.ĭawn of War 3 includes a built-in benchmark, which is great as it means others can use the same tests I'm running. Along with the usual suite of benchmarks and charts, the video provides real-time framerate comparisons. Thanks, MSI!īe sure to check out our performance analysis video as well. Full details of our test equipment and methodology are detailed in our Performance Analysis 101 article. As our partner for these detailed performance analyses, MSI provided the hardware we needed to test Dawn of War 3 on a bunch of different AMD and Nvidia GPUs and laptops.
