Dishonored 2 benchmarks

[Techicolors]

Dishonored 2 has this... pre-order thing that allows you to play a day early... and so guru3d (and maybe a few more outlets, we'll see) benched it.

The benchmark is done on

the eight-core Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Edition with Haswell-E based setup on the X99 chipset platform. This setup is running tweaked at 4.30 GHz. Next to that we have energy saving functions disabled for this motherboard and processor (to ensure consistent benchmark results). We use Windows 10 all patched up. Each card runs on the same PC with the same operating system clone.

The drivers are:

• GeForce cards use the latest 375.76 driver (download drivers).
• Radeon graphics cards we used the latest AMD Radeon Crimson 16.11.3 Driver (download drivers).

And there are reports of performance issues and bugs

More-or-less, Bethesda locking out early reviews rendered this game problem-ridden at release. perhaps a day one patch may be in place to fix it, but... yeah. r/patientgamers shines here 

 

edit:

TB noted that there is a day one patch on the way

Eesh, not even a 480 or 1060 can max out 1080p and hit <60fps... guess I'll be waiting a while.

[Just Monika]

I'm glad I didn't preorder this, 66 FPS average on 1440p with a GTX 1080 doesn't look right to me. From early user reviews, people say that the game doesn't look much better than the original Dishonored, so the low FPS across the board isn't solely due to improved graphics.

[ivan134]

Apparently TXAA is the source of the problem, even when it's set to low.

[Bensemus]

I found the commercials/trailers for this game quite off putting. The mix of real actors and CGI meshed really poorly IMO. TB also tweeted about the poor performance of the first game Bethesda released after changing their reviewer policy.

[DioOmicida]

I'm excited for Dishonored 2, either way.
I can enjoy the game still.

[Space Reptile]

the 1080p graph shows ... how well the game is ... "optimised"

 

for starters the 1050 shud beat the 460 fair and square , but the 480 is under the nano ? that does not make any blummin sense !

[goodtofufriday]

Yikes. Thats pretty deplorable.

Nano is faster than 480. Not sure why that is confusing.

huh , i though the nano was slightly slower but the fury x faster , musta mixed em up , amd is threading on the spot for too long

WHAT? A GameWorks technology that destroys performance on everything, maybe bar the newest generation of NVidia cards?

Welcome to post PS3 / Xbox 360 gaming ports on PC.

People forgot what PC gaming was like pre PS3/360 where you had to replace GPUs fast and furious to keep up.

Everyone got used to running PS3 / 360 ports at max settings on low end PCs because the consoles were so old and outdated.

 

Now the new consoles aren't top-of-the-line by any means but they are much more powerful than the previous consoles and the devs are anywhere near as constrained as before.

No more not being able to holster your gun in Mass Effect because there wasn't enough memory for such a simple animation.

[Litargirio]

Wow, that's terrible. And the game doesn't even look that great.

 

Looks like the review score on Steam is only 59%, and all the complaints are performance issues.

 

Hm.

I think this has yet again to do with NVidia's insanely taxing and inefficient crap technologies. This time, the culprit seems to be TXAA, that you can see they used in this benchmark.

That being said, there are reports of many other problems, but so far I don't know if they used the game ready drivers in those tests.

TXAA is in batman akrham origins & that game runs fine with it. we get it you dislike Nvidia, i'm sure they're also causing climate change too proof is at infowars.com

I sense a Jimquisition episode about this coming abouuuuut, now.

Yeah if you had the newest NVidia generation cards of that time:

Notice the problem?

I mean, I will come out and say it, even though it doesn't disprove your point.

 

What's the difference between 188 fps and 222? No one I know or have read about has a monitor that can take advantage of such high fps.

[2FA]

Holy fuck that VRAM usage, I'm glad I have a 6GB card.

The bottom one is Arkham City,. Point is, that in Origin, a 770 suddenly jumps up almost 2 full models of cards and almost equals a 290x.

 

I don't think it's only TXAA (in Dishonored 2), but considering, this is yet another game with NVidia tech, it does not surprise me, that it runs well on the newest gen of NVidia cards, and sucks on all other cards, both everything from AMD and the older gen Nvidia cards. It does not surprise me either, that it's buggy and broken. Other "great" GameWorks titles includes Assassins Creed Unity and Watch Dogs.

[Sauron]

How about... we DON'T preorder games?

Love how uhd only uses 15% more than 1080p lol

This honestly reminds me of the Witcher 3 launch more so than Arkham Knight. Playable FPS but not exactly ideal.

I saw it run fine on the RX 480, right on par with the 1060 which is where I expect an RX 480 to land on any new game that's not natively DX12.

 

But you're right on it being a weird mess on some places. The 780 Ti being just faster than a 1050 Ti. The R9 285 seemingly taking a huge beating somehow. But as much as we want to blame Nvidia for this one, it's Bethesda that will take the crap for deciding to stop giving out preview copies for reviewers.

We should stop preordering games anyway. And if the industry goes the way of Bethesda, I will start telling people to stop buying day 1 as well.

Stopping pre-ordering isn't going to stop devs from launching a game with shitty performance. Games and their underlying code have become much more advanced but the average development time hasn't really increased though. I think it is more to do with having strict due dates and not enough development time.
