Saints Row the Third is barely a year old. And i got 5 games and two expansions (for CoH)

i have 25 games in my benchmark suite; the Witcher will be 26. Is Saints Row the Third a decent benchmark (CTG engine) a possibility for No. 27?

Nice prices but those games don't interest me.

They would make nice gifts for gamers.
;-)

Metro 2033 is a great game
Darksiders got good reviews
CoH plus 2 expansions are the best of their kind
Saints Row the Third also got good reviews
Red Faction Armageddon - i am not sure about - i didn't like the original



What is up with SR? Not a good benchmark? Why not? Too consolized?

SR is consolized, the graphics are not bad but not benchmark worthy.

Is it a good game? i have a lot of games to play
.. lessee, this bundle has 4 games and 2 expansions i haven't played (i did play CoH, but not my favorite kind of game), there are the games from the EA deal - Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning, Shank (already uninstalled), and Dead Space 2, then there is the Witcher, and also Assassins Creed III (next to play, i think).
:blush:

AND i got 3 HW-related articles to write! The benching for GTX 680 v. GTX 660 SLI is done; i got a Sapphire Vapor-X CPU cooler review due on Monday and a 120 GB Kingston SSD VNow series V300 came in yesterday.
--- good thing i already finished the BL 2 'carnage' DLC

SR is a pretty good game, if you have the time give it a go.Mark I thought about an interesting review article.How 680 and 580 fares under msaa?what is the % cost?you can pick a subset of games(around 6 will do). First test with no AA and then with 4xAA.I think 680 will face a larger hit compared to 580.It will signify the impact of a lower width bus.
