DEAD SPACE 2 60FPS DRIVERS

Our vRam and our GPU usage were averaging at 1GB and 55%, respectively, which means that those with a GTX680 or a Titan will be able to downsample without major issues (as long as they use the aforementioned resolutions). In both cases, we had Vsync enabled and the game ran with constant 60fps. Since Dead Space 3 is not demanding, we decided to put the GTX690 to the test and downsample from two resolutions: 2560Г—14Г—1800 (3840Г—2160 was not supported by our monitor).

If not, it shows that even a dated PC system can benefit from a more powerful card. If thatвЂ™s the case, itвЂ™s pretty amazing what a proper SLI profile can actually do.

At this point, we should note that we were not using the same drivers when we tested our GTX295, meaning that Nvidia may have updated the gameвЂ™s SLI profile with a better one. In other words, our performance almost doubled, despite the fact that our CPU remained the same. When we replaced it with the GTX690, though, that scene ran with 120fps (due to Vsync being enabled). As we can see in the following comparison, our GTX295 ran this scene with 72fps. Dead Space 3 ran вЂ“ most of the times вЂ“ with 70-80fps on our GTX295, and there were occasions when our SLI scaling was dropping to mid 60s. What really impressed us, however, was the difference between the SLI scaling of the GTX 295 and the GTX 690.

Our previous GPU, a GTX 295, was able to handle it with max settings (albeit not using soft shadows) at 1080p with constant 60fps. In fact, even those with older GPUs will be able to enjoy Dead Space 3. This means that those with a GTX670, a GTX680 or a Titan card will be able to downsample without any performance issues. Despite looking great at times, Dead Space 3 is not demanding and wonвЂ™t stress such a high-end GPU. Nvidia has already included an SLI profile for Visceral GamesвЂ™ title, though those with the aforementioned GPU wonвЂ™t really need it. For our Performance Analysis purposes, we used a Q9650 (4.2Ghz) with 4GB RAM, an Nvidia GTX690, Windows 7-64Bit and the latest version of the GeForce drivers. Yes, there isnвЂ™t any FOV option and the game suffers low-resolution textures but overall, this is as good as most multi-platform games, has proper on-screen keyboard indications, has amazing mouse support, and is not taxing вЂ“ while looking great вЂ“ at all. Why you ask? But because Dead Space 3 is a fine PC port. Either way, EA should not be so ashamed of it.

Perhaps this is due to the fact that Visceral GamesвЂ™ Executive Producer lied about offering the same gaming experience to all platformsВ or because EA feared that weвЂ™d bring the hammer down on it. Unfortunately, EA seemed hesitant on sending a PC review copy, and thatвЂ™s why we had to delay it. Before starting, let us apologize for not offering you this Performance Analysis sooner.
