Battlefield 1 Benchmarked: Graphics & CPU Performance Tested

[OcelotRex]

Waiting till computex in Jan would give you a fuller picture of where the market will be here soon. Unfortunately we have very little information other than Vega 10 will have 4096 shader cores (same as Fury X.) assuming it runs at or near 1500mhz that gives us 12tflop performance which is on par with the TITANXP. AMD's drivers and architecture are improving and Vega is a new architecture not just a BIG Polaris... So there's no way to know how fast it will be in the real world, but TITANXP performance isn't unlikely. Much like the R9 290X it came out a bit later but crushed the original Titan for only $600. I'm getting the same vibe with Vega. Of course here will be smaller/cheaper variants, but there's 0 information on those. Like I said if you can wait... That would be the best option.

The only issue with me waiting is avoiding the MicroCenter and Fry's Black Friday deals. If I can get through those I can wait for a long time. If the 1070, 480, or 1060 has a great sale I will move on it.

Once I can pull the 760 from my current gaming PC I can put it in the Steam-Streaming, HTPC, Plex Serving computer I want to build. It's a tough wait but I think I can make it.

I was wondering if the full video setting could be posted, that are used to get these benchmarks?

For example what Anti-aliasing setting are used, a simple screen shot of the settings would suffice.

No agenda here, we are huge advocates of the Skylake Core i3 range. The graphs are clearly labelled stating that we used the low-voltage model and it’s operating frequency, so I am not sure how you could draw the conclusion you have.

I am still curious as to why you would intentionally use a low-voltage model which runs ~13.5% slower than the regular 6100 which is arguably the most popular i3 Skylake model.

It wouldn't mean much, I am sure, but it seems a little misrepresenting when every other model tested are 'fully-clocked' models.

We had a low-voltage Core i3 processor on hand, so we tested it. If I had a different Core i3 processor handy I would have tested that as well. We don't have an endless budget and Intel doesn't supply us with processors for the most part.

In no way is it misrepresenting anything. The processor and even its operating frequency is clearly stated, only you seem to have an issue with us providing these extra results. The alternative would be to not include any Skylake Core i3 processor and I don't know how that would be more useful for anyone.

On top of all this the Core i3-6100T performed exceptionally well, so again I don't understand at all where you are coming from with this complaint.

Thanks for your efforts! I wish you featured your very useful regular CPU overclocking graphs. No other site I know benchmark an overclocked and *underclocked* CPU - very nice metric to have.

We wanted to include more, it would have taken another few days to get that testing done due to the 5 hardware change limit of Origin. I have had to move onto the GTX 1050 testing for now.

Thanks for another comprehensive and thorough analysis, Steven.

Thanks mate!

Are there any plans to go back & do additional CPU testing? I know EA's Origin will cause a lot of pain on that, but I would be interested in seeing the results, given that a lot of the beta players were using pre-Skylake CPUs, & it would be nice to see how some of the older Intel CPUs faired.

I don't see the R9 280 results. I'm guessing they were a little above the HD 7950 and a little below the R9 380?

 

[DeltaGamer]

For sure! Let's hope there is a fix soon.

Thanks Steve - it's frustrating that DF and TweakTown have put out results that cannot be replicated.

I've been trying to decide between the 480 and 1060 to replace my GTX 760 over the past few months and TBH it's almost worth the extra $150 to grab a 1070 and not have to choose.

I'd get the 480 and save the $150.
