The PhysX Game Benchmarks
- Borderlands 2
- Cryostasis (Tech Demo)
- Batman: Arkham Origins
- Metro: Last Light
- Batman: Arkham Origins
We wanted to feature Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag as it has been recently patched to include PhysX. Unfortunately, with the GTX 750 Ti installed, the game’s control panel does not even offer the options for PhysX at all, and we are waiting on a patch from Ubisoft to enable PhysX with GM107.
Cryostasis featured PhysX in 2008 but it was so demanding that it could barely run at 1920×1080 with GTX 280 Quad-SLI with everything else maxed out. Its particle and fluid simulations are still very demanding on a dedicated PhysX card.
We also picked the latest two Batman Arkham games as they feature PhysX and have built in benchmarks, as well as Metro: Last Light and Borderlands 2.
Let’s head to our performance charts.
Dumb question here, is the chart using minimum, maximum, or average fps?
Can anyone in a position to recommend cheap Sheep Tags Data Scraping Services? Thanks very much 😀
