Battlefield 3
Contents
Battlefield 3 is the latest installment in the Battlefield franchise released in 2011. It is based on the Frostbite 2 engine, which is DirectX 11. In order to measure performance using this game, we walked our way through the first half of the “Operation Swordbreaker” mission, measuring the number of frames per second using FRAPS. We tested this game at 1920×1080, configuring all image quality settings at their lowest values.
Once again, the performance level of the A8-5600K’s integrated video was also comparable to that of a GeForce GT 440 with 1 GB. Only the integrated video of the A10-5800K was faster than the integrated video of the A8-5600K (by 25%); the integrated video of the A8-5600K was 5% faster than the A8-3870K, 15% faster than the A8-3850, and 159% faster than the Pentium G2120. The Core i3-2100 can’t run this game, since its video engine is DirectX 10.1, not DirectX 11.
