Hi Qastal – To get a ballpark idea of the sort of FPS you can expect to see in game, you can use an application called “Heaven” which is essentially a benchmarking tool that would allow you to see your average framerate and performance in a real world 3D environment.
If you decide to do this, you can download Heaven from the site below in addition to running the application with the following settings:
1, Download “Heaven” from this site here: http://unigine.com/products/heaven/download/ (Free download)
2. Once on this page, click “Mirrored by TechPowerUP” under the “Windows Version” field. This will take you to TechPowerUp.com where you can click “Download Now” and select a download mirror.
3. Once downloaded, double click the file to run it.
4. Use the following settings:
API: DirectX 9
Tessellation: Disabled
Shaders: High
Anisotropy: 4x
Stereo 3D: Disabled
Multi monitor: Unchecked
Anti-aliasing: Off
Full Screen: Check marked
Resolution: System
Once running, click the “Benchmark” button in the top left corner. This will start the test. Once completed, the results will be shown on the screen and you can click “Save” to save your results.
Keep in mind this is just for your reference. If you’re not quite getting the frames that you see in the results, I’d recommend creating a support ticket so we can try to find out why you may be experiencing lower framerates than you would expect.
