Graphic tests: STALKER, Lost Planet 2
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
STALKER: Call of Pripyat is a first-person shooter of post-apocalyptic science fiction genre, developed by GSC Game World and published October 2, 2009 (February 5, 2010 in Europe).It is the third installment of the series and is placed chronologically after the events of STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, the founder of the saga. STALKER: Clear Sky, the second chapter, is the prequel. Like the previous ones, STALKER: Call of Pripyat was developed with the proprietary engine X-Ray. A group of Stalkers reached for the first time the central core of the entire Zone, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station.The already harsh situation in the area is complicated and there is a real risk of a catastrophe. A great power is abnormally changing areas, there are still areas to be considered safe, but for most the whole area is now full of strange anomalies. Many of the Stalkers and the other inhabitants of the area have died as a result of these changes, while new areas appear anywhere in the territory. The area is now very unstable, what to do to stop the anomalies? The game supports DirectX 10.1.
The AMD HD 6550D is faster than the counterpart giving higher levels than any other integrated cards.
The 1866 memory has a serious impact on performance at 1280x1024 resolution.
Let's see instead the results recorded by running the benchmark using DirectX 10.
In this case the difference is even more pronounced, because the memories at 1866MHz increases the performance in the range of about 8 FPS at 1680x1050 resolution.
Lost Planet 2
Lost Planet 2 is a game produced and developed by Capcom and released from Halifax for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. It was initially to be released in early 2010, but Capcom has put off the end of 2010. The game is set 10 years after the adventure of Wayne Holden on Lost Planet, and things have changed: Thanks to the efforts of Wayne and his friends, EDN III, the planet where the game is played, began a slow terraforming process, which has caused a drastic climate change. In fact, if in Lost Planet 1, the planet was only arctic, there are now desert areas, areas with dense tropical jungles, areas with warmer climates, etc.. But this has not brought peace, indeed, now that the world is more populated by humans, they are again divided into bands and real snow pirate clans involved a constant and perpetual civil war for control of the planet and the EN-T, the liquid substance used by humans as fuel for their technology, both from the Akrid, the indigenous creatures of EDN III, which are a perennial problem for humans as they are very aggressive and difficult to kill.
Also in this case, the data speak for themselves, the IGP integrated into the A8-3850 recorded good values earning the podium both with the memory at 1333MHz and at 1866MHz.
Note how the gap with the solutions offered by Intel is very marked and leave no doubt as to which solution is most efficient.
