MSI Z68A-GD80 Review

Aliens vs. Predator, developed by Rebellion Developments, is a science fiction first-person shooter and is a remake of its 1999 game. The game is based off 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, and the Human Colonial Marine. The Game uses Rebellion's Asura game engine that supports Dynamic Lighting, Shader Model 3.0, Soft Particle systems, and Physics. To test this game I will be using the Aliens vs. Predator benchmark tool with the settings listed below. All DirectX 11 features are enabled.

Settings

• 4xAA
• 16xAF
• SSAO = On
• Texture Quality = Very High
• Hardware Tesselation = On
• Advanced Shadow Sampling = On

Higher = Better

The parity in scoring across the comparison boards and the Z68A-GD80 shows that with the same hardware you will get comparable performance. When testing games at moderate settings, the performance limitation is the video card. The differential in performance maxes out at 1 FPS in this game.
