Hey.
I've decided that over the next few days I'm going to run some benchmarks on my spare parts rig. I'll be running the benchmarks at both 1080p and 1440p. I'll stick to using game presets when available and only test games with a built in benchmark. For the tests I'll avoid settings that go over Vram usage or that I consider unreasonable for the level of hardware. For simplicity I'll consider 30+ fps as playable.
The test system listed below will be ran fully at stock settings.
FX6300
16gb 1866 ddr3
GTX 950
Games will be ran off of a 300gb 5400 rpm hdd.

So, first game up...
Shadow Of Mordor
@1080
@1440p
Based off of these benchmarks I'm going to set SoM to 1440p high settings and run with it. Fully playable at all settings benched.
Tomorrow will be benchmarking, Batman: Arkham Knight.
Batman: Arkham Knight
I ran my Batman: Arkham Knight bechmarks this morning. Due to Vram limitations I kept textures on low throughout the tests. I left gameworks off for all tests.
1080p
1440p
The game was playable at all tested settings. A huge limiting factor however is the hdd I have the game installed on. While doing a play test at 1440P High I hit load spots where my fps would tank to 16 quickly. I don't think the game would suffer from the same drops if ran off an ssd. Luckily my Gsync helped carry me through and the game was fully playable.
Next up GTA:V.

GTA:V
Ok, this was an interesting one. Because of the way the benchmark works I was forced to use the averages of the results. For settings I simply left the game at the default settings and tested both 1080p and 1440p.
Settings used (For both 1080p & 1440p)
1080p
1440p
The game played very well at the tested setting. I did not however find the game very attractive. If I were to use this rig as a main gamer for GTA:V, I'd have to tweak the settings tested for better visual results.
Next up, "The Division".
The Division
I finally got around to installing my hdd and benchmarking "The Division". Have to say that I am not very impressed with this benchmark. There is no low/high fps, and, running the benchmark multiple times at the same settings result in wildly different results. I'm also not sure how they come up with their avg fps. From watching it, it's almost like they're calling high avg...
Oh well, this is based off of the numbers it put out. I'd say assume a low of at least 30 in any of these results...
1080p
1440p
After running the above tests I OC'ed my CPU to 42 and ran again at medium settings. The results showed no noticeable benefit. Least not outside of margin of error.
Once again, take these results with a grain of salt since I do not think they accurately represent the true fps experienced.
