Include S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat benchmark in HWC video cards reviews?

Here is the benchmark.
IMO it worth to add it. It would be interesting to see DX11 with Tessellation on newest ATI cards...

I try to download the bench...not connection I will retry latter... I guess you need the game for the bench...no problem in my case

Ops, try here. You don't need the game is a standalone benchmark.
I've tried 2 runs on my system. One with everything on max including Advanced options (SSAO Mode HDAO) and I receive this.



Then on second run with Advanced options Off I receive this



All I can say is that I've played the game with a modified user.ltx and in-game settings were close to first run but it was perfect playable.

downloading ..... I will make the test tonight, I also play at full detail and it's very much playable. will see for a 4890 ..and if not satisfy I will fire a second one ine crossfire

I voted no.

I have been using the benchmark for the better part of a week now alongside the German version of the game. I can tell you that the benchmark itself is in no way indicative of real-world gameplay performance which means it will probably never be included in our charts. HOWEVER, I fully intend to include CoP in reviews once the North American version is released.

Yep, I agree. I saw this myself yesterday. Unfortunately it was after I put this poll.

OK, then it's perfect.
Disregard/lock this topic, now it looks useless.

Does the actual game perform better or worse than the benchmark (I'm guessing worse)?

Still, I'm going to grab this once I get my PC plugged back in (moved last week to a new house). Even though it's not indicative of REAL gameplay, it's always nice to have a stand alone bench to run to see what effect any adjustments you make to your hardware will have.

Cheers!

will tell you that tonight , but the game perform very well with max detail at 1920x1200 on a radeon 4890.. but those bloods suc..... and snorks are a way more hard to kill than in the 2 firsts releases
