It's gotta be balanced out somehow, glad i'm not the one doing it

Popular game(s)
Popular game engines (unity, unreal)
Rendering Engines (Vulkan/DX11/DX12)
Useful Oddities (Game known to use most VRAM, titles with DLAA/DLSS/FSR)

No doubt about it but if you want to include every aspect, one can argue all old games should be there since this is also representative to how the game engines developed or how new graphics cards handle older vs more modern games. I think we should move forward just like the game engines do and start focusing on a modern games and draw a line for the old ones. I'm sure w1zzard is not planning to benchmark Witcher 3 for 8 years even though people are playing it till this day and will keep playing since it is a nice game. The question is where to draw the line for old games.

Probably 6900 XT vs 3090 first. A bunch of new games is coming out soon, so I'll be making changes to the list of benchmarks, like drop F1 2020 and maybe GTA V (any thoughts on that?)

Replace it with GTA 3 definitive edition :nutkick:

As always, much appreciation for your work, the writing, the decisions you take for testing and organising information and the way you write conclusions.

Popular single player games:
_Forza Horizon 5

There is a typo at conclusion page: "The same is true for 1080p Full HD; here, the Radeon is 0.6% faster than the GeForce."... As I can look at the tables GeForce is faster than Radeon at 1080p

The 6800 is a great card and despite the fact that it does not have a similar technique as Nvidia (DLSS) it can overcome the different performance through MorePowerTool, even in rtx games it has 2080ti-3070 performance.

I can't wait to play it again but on a Ultrawide monitor love that game.

Fixed. While it might be hard to believe, I read the conclusion several times, so did other staff members and our proofreader

Yes

So I guess my point would be, that its [HD textures] turned on at your discretion "Equal settings were used for both cards, and proprietary features disabled." knowing it could hurt an 8GB card, but an RT setting on by default (F1 2021) is turned off.

Your comparison, your choice, but I don't quite agree with it.

@W1zzard Could these join the mix? Warhammer is quite demanding as far as I remember.

Will definitely add Forza Horizon 5, Age of Empires 4 I'll have to think about, but probably, yes. Warhammer II probably not Warhammer III probably yes, unless it's a huge flop like BF2042

Why you skip the warhammer? It it bad for testing or it would be hard to get the same test performed on all of the computers tested?

Alright .. let me see what I can do. Do you have a savegame for me by any chance?

Actually I don't. I was just curious why Warhammer was out of the mix.

It's from 2017, so fairly old. If I play through half the game to find a good test scene, and drop the game in a few months because TW3 has released, it'll be a lot of time wasted
