Lots of them.įor now only the i5-2500k vs Q9550 results will be published, but I am halfway through for the i7-860. First there will be a text based vbulleting table, then some screenies from my excel file that contains the sum up in alphabetical order, sorted screenies by highest performance difference and of course graphs. I will provide the results in various ways. Now finally the time has come for the good part. Maybe these improvements will help the 860 a bit, but we will see that in an update. The performance improvements of 347.52 have gone to waste anyway, since the Q9550 was very cpu limited in these games.

So all in all, as you can see, we are OK.
#Mafia 3 pc settings gtx 970 driver#
Just to come clean, I provide the release highlights, so you know what changed and how it affects this benchmark suite.ģ47.52 only Alien Isolation, Dragon Age Inquisition and Grid Autosport are affected with low percentage performance increasesģ47.88 Battlefield Hardline driver and some new SLI profiles, irrelevant with the validity of this testģ50.12 GTA V driver, which has been used for all GTA V tests in this suite anyway
#Mafia 3 pc settings gtx 970 drivers#
The ugly part comes to the fact that I was using the new driver as I went, so the older drivers are used on the 2500k for which I did the benchmarks first, then newer drivers for the Q9550, then went back to add some benchmarks to the 2500k and now I am still doing the 860 benchmarks which will have the newer 350.12 drivers for half its benchmarks. 350.12 has been used for all systems in GTA V, so that doesn't count.

Now the semi ugly part comes to the driver versions used, because due to the sheer size of this benchmark suite, plus my Youtube uploads that took too long (will explain later), the benchmark suite has spanned four driver releases.
#Mafia 3 pc settings gtx 970 Patch#
There is only one discrepancy in Far Cry 4, where I have used 1.8.0 for the Q9550 benchmark, 1.7.0 for the 2500k and 1.9.0 for the 860.Īccording to the 1.8.0 changelog, this patch contains no performance changes, so we are OK.Īnd afaik 1.9.0 only added the Valley of the Yeti DLC.

To that goal, many game engines have been benchmarked, implemented on even more, very well or less known games.Ĭry Engine, Frostbite, Dunia, Unreal, Anvil, Unigine, Asura, IW6, Hammer, Chrome, EGO, you name it, all have been benchmarked! I could test similarly powered AMD graphics cards versus the 970, my 7950 CFX vs the 970 or I could just test AMD cards in cpu limited games to see how the AMD driver fairs. The good thing is that having this database ready, I can benchmark new graphics cards against the 970, only redoing benchmarks that are greatly affected by newer game versions or drivers.

Of course since I decided to go on and test my other cpus, the benchmark suite deviated somewhat, that's why you will see framerate capped games in this suite, since after a point I wanted to see how the cpus would fair.Īll in all then, it is a mixed test, with focus on the gpu but has the very important goal to inform people owning cpus with a varying degree of performance, what kind of gpu could their system handle and what to expect from it. Also consider this test, a tribute to older cpus, with which we had a lot of fun.

Under this scope, you must understand that this test is based primarily on a suite that was supposed to do GPU benchmarking, but since I was at it, the thought occur to see how older cpus would perform with real life gaming settings. To tell you the truth, the initial goal was to create a benchmark database, with a highly clocked i5-2500k and a GTX 970 I wanted to have benchmark results without cpu limits, so I can compare them against future cards I get. So what I did, is benchmark this card in many games (custom gameplays and built in benchmarks), demos and stand alone benchmarks so we can see what to expect with different configurations. It has been quite a while since I got my GTX 970 and since I had some spare hardware laying around, I thought that it would be interesting to test how it performs paired with various cpus.
