Aliens vs. Predator

Aliens vs Predator D3D11 Benchmark v1.03

Aliens vs Predator D3D11 Benchmark v1.03 is a standalone benchmark test based upon Rebellion's 2010 inter-species shooter Aliens vs. Predator. The test shows xenomorph-tastic scenes using heavy tessellation among other DX11 features.

Aliens vs Predator D3D11 Benchmark v1.03

We cranked up all the image quality settings in the benchmark to the highest level possible, so we were running 4x AA and 16x AF with SSAO enabled at both 1920x1200 and 1280x1024 on all the video cards.

Aliens Vs. Predator Benchmark Results

Benchmark Results: The EVGA GeForce GTS 450 FTW was 16% faster than the reference NVIDIA GeForce GTX 450, which is easily explained by the clock speeds of the card being 17.5% faster on the core and 13.7% faster memory. The ASUS ENGTS450 DirectCU TOP was only 1.2% behind the EVGA GeForce GTS 450 FTW while the MSI N450GTS Cyclone 1GD5 was 6.3% behind. When we ran the NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 in SLI we saw SLI scaling of ~95% over a single NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450.
