🎮 Performance Testing: Game Testing at Different Resolutions

In this video, I will be sharing my performance testing results for various games. As promised, I have a lineup of games that I have tested, and I will be providing step-by-step insights on their performance. If you have any specific game requests, feel free to mention them in the comments below. Now, let's dive into the results!

Performance at 4K Resolution

To start off, I tested the games at 4K resolution with different settings ranging from ultra to low. With the ultra presets, the FPS ranged from 30 to 45, which is somewhat playable but not ideal for a smooth gaming experience. However, by adjusting the settings to high, I noticed a slight improvement of about 5 FPS. This made the gameplay more stable. Moving to medium settings, the FPS increased to a more satisfactory level, reaching around 60. Considering the one percent lows and 0.1 percent lows, the performance remained steady. For gamers with a 4K screen aiming for 60 FPS, medium settings with 90 scaling proved to be the optimal choice.

Performance at 1440p Resolution

Next, I tested the games at 1440p resolution. Starting with ultra settings, the FPS reached around 80, providing a visually appealing gameplay experience. However, by adjusting the settings to high, I observed a significant jump in FPS, reaching 100 and sometimes even 120. The gameplay remained smooth, even during intense combat scenes. For gamers using a 1440p monitor with a high refresh rate, maxing out the settings at 1440p seemed to be the ideal choice, as the FPS remained consistently above 60.

Performance at 1080p Resolution

Moving on to 1080p resolution, the results were quite interesting. When testing with maxed-out settings, the FPS reached around 80, which is impressive. However, upon closer inspection, I noticed that the difference between 1080p and 1440p performance was minimal, with 1440p actually performing slightly better. This anomaly could be due to a bug or specific optimization issues with the game. Nevertheless, 1080p gaming proved to be highly satisfactory, with FPS ranging from 100 to 120, depending on the game.

Testing with Specific Games: Path of Exile

Now, let's focus on the performance of the game "Path of Exile" with different settings. I tested the game using the DirectX 12 beta and then switched to Vulcan when I encountered some FPS limitations. With both settings, the game performed exceptionally well, with FPS reaching above 100 and sometimes even 130. The one percent lows remained at a playable level of 80, ensuring a smooth gaming experience. Overall, "Path of Exile" demonstrated excellent performance potential with high settings and proved to be a demanding title.

Testing with Specific Games: Global

In this section, I tested multiple games with a variety of settings, including ultra, high, medium, and low presets. Whether it was an FPS game, a strategy game, or an open-world adventure, the performance results were consistent across different resolutions. With 4K resolution, the FPS varied depending on the settings, ranging from 70 to 75 on max settings and reaching above 100 on high settings. At 1440p resolution, the FPS stayed around 112, with occasional peaks of 120 and 130. Lastly, at 1080p resolution, the performance was impressive, with FPS hitting almost 500 on low settings. Even on max settings, FPS remained above 60, offering a visually satisfying gameplay experience.

Conclusion

To summarize the performance testing results, it is evident that adjusting the settings according to the resolution of your display is crucial for achieving the optimal gaming experience. With 4K resolution, medium settings with 90 scaling appeared to be the sweet spot for gamers aiming for 60 FPS. At 1440p resolution, maxing out the settings provided excellent FPS results, surpassing the 100 mark and ensuring smooth gameplay. With 1080p resolution, the performance was exceptional, particularly on medium to high settings, with FPS consistently above 60. Overall, the games tested demonstrated their capability to deliver impressive performance across different resolutions and settings.

FAQs

Q: Can I play games at 4K resolution with maxed-out settings? A: While it is possible to play games at 4K resolution with maxed-out settings, the FPS may not be ideal for smooth gameplay. Adjusting the settings to a balanced level, such as medium with 90 scaling, can provide a more satisfactory experience.

Q: Which resolution provides the best FPS results? A: The best FPS results depend on various factors, including your hardware capabilities and personal preferences. However, in our testing, 1440p resolution consistently delivered higher FPS compared to 1080p, making it a popular choice for gamers.

Q: Should I prioritize visual quality or FPS when gaming? A: The prioritization of visual quality or FPS depends on your preferences and the type of game you are playing. Some gamers prefer a visually stunning experience with slightly lower FPS, while others prioritize higher FPS for smoother gameplay. It is essential to find the right balance that suits your gaming style.

Q: How important are one percent lows and 0.1 percent lows in gaming? A: One percent lows and 0.1 percent lows are crucial metrics for measuring gaming performance. They indicate the minimum FPS experienced during gameplay, ensuring that your gaming experience remains smooth and stutter-free, even during intense scenes or demanding sequences.
