Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is the third game in the Deus Ex first-person role-playing video game series, and a prequel to the original game. Announced on May 27, 2007, Human Revolution was developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix. It was released in August 2011. Human Revolution contains elements of first-person shooters and role-playing games, set in a near-future where corporations have extended their influence past the reach of global governments. The game follows Adam Jensen, the security chief for one of the game's most powerful corporations, Sarif Industries. After a devastating attack on Sarif's headquarters, Adam is forced to undergo radical surgeries that fuse his body with mechanical augmentations, and he is embroiled in the search for those responsible for the attack.

Deus Ex Human Revolution Game Settings

Deus Ex: Human Revolution uses a modified Crystal Dynamics Crystal game engine, which some of you might know as the game engine from the last Tomb Raider game title. The game developers did some rather hefty modifications to this engine though as the graphics are superb in this title.

Deus Ex Human Revolution Benchmark Results

Benchmark Results: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 did very well in Deus Ex Human Revolution and scored just slightly higher than the EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2Win video card and a tad slower than the GeForce GTX 590. It easily beat the stock AMD Radeon HD 7970, but was beat by the MSI R7970 Lighting at 1920x1080 by less than 5 FPS. Not a big difference considering the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 costs $499 and the MSI R7970 Lighting costs $599!

Benchmark Results: The performance gap widens at a 30-inch resolution of 2560x1600, but for an extra $100 you would hope for more than 8 FPS!
