MSI 990FXA GD-80 Review

Closer Look:

Aliens vs. Predator, developed by Rebellion Developments, is a science fiction first-person shooter and a remake of its 1999 game. The game is based on the two popular sci-fi franchises. In this game, you have the option of playing through the single player campaigns as one of three species: the Alien, the Predator, or the Human Colonial Marine. The game uses Rebellion's Asura game engine, which supports Dynamic Lighting, Shader Model 3.0, Soft Particle systems and Physics. For testing, I will be using the Aliens vs. Predator benchmark tool with the settings listed below. All DirectX 11 features are enabled.

Settings

• 4x AA
• 16x AF
• SSAO = On
• Texture Quality = Very High
• Hardware Tesselation = On
• Advanced Shadow Sampling = On

Higher = Better

Throughout the four tests, the average FPS varied by less than 1 FPS in the Aliens vs. Predator benchmark. Same parts, same performance.
