Test Results

Alien VS Predator

Setting : DirectX 11; Texture Quality – Very High; Shadow Quality – High; SSAO – On; AF x16; No-MSAA

This game once again puts the poor humans, the sophisticated predators, and the fierce aliens against one another. It also happens to be among the first titles with official support for DirectX 11. Here, as the graphs clearly show, MSI N450GTS Cyclone 1GD5 could not run the game with acceptable frame rate at 1920×1080. Lowering the resolution to 1360×768 significantly increases the amount of frames per second to 40 FPS.

CRYSIS

Setting : DirectX 10; Quality Preset – High; No-AA

At 1920×1080, the MSI N450GTS Cyclone 1GD5 still managed to render the graphics at a relatively fluid 31.96 FPS. That number, however, is dangerously close to the 30 FPS limit. Playing at lower resolutions should help solve this problem.

LEFT4DEAD

Setting : No-AA; AF-Trilinear; Maximum Quality

Despite its pre-overclocked state, the MSI N450GTS Cyclone 1GD5 falls a bit behind the GTS 250.
