X3: Reunion

X� Reunion Benchmark

Egosoft: X3 Reunion

The Sequel to the award winning X3: The Threat will introduce a new 3D engine as well as a new story, new ships and a new gameplay to greatly increase the variety in the X-universe. The economy of X3: Reunion will be more complex than anything seen in the X-universe before. Factories are being built by NPCs, wars can affect the global economy, NPCs can trade freely and pirates will behave far more realistically.

Extensive development has gone into the X3 engine, making full use of DirectX 9 technology, to create dramatic visual effects and stunningly realistic starships. Coupled with the massively enhanced A.L. (Artificial Life) system, X3: REUNION will present players with an ever changing, evolving universe; where a player actions really can shape the future of the universe.

We have expanded the number of tests for X3: Reunion. With the extra power of the E6700 we are no longer seeing single digit FPS during some of the scenes. The 8600 GT XXX and 8600 GTS XXX fall behind the older 7900 GT and 7900 GS in X3. We're not really sure why this test favors ATI so much but the 8800 series is able to put up a good fight!
