Homeworld 3 Performance Benchmark @ TechPowerUp

Published: | Posted By:

I am always impressed with reviews where the author will test a game against multiple video cards.  To do this correctly, you need to allocate time to run the actual benchmark along with tweaks and tunes.  You also need to have a repeatable build process available to ensure that EVERY time you run the benchmark with a new video card the conditions are the same.

From experience I know this can take weeks and when something goes wrong, and it always does, you get results that you cannot trust.  Most reviewers have their system down and, when it is good they will talk about it.  Others may rely on past benchmark results or may even use algorithms to determine the results you are expecting to see.

I'm not sure which method is right or, even if you (the reader) could tell the difference.  However, what is important is that the results can be repeated and that "you" the reader could recreate them if you wanted.  For a game like Homeworld 3, I'm not sure it even matters wink smile

Homeworld 3 is the latest installment in the epic space RTS series. Thanks to Unreal Engine, you get upgraded visuals and combat in real three-dimensional environments. In our performance review, we're taking a closer look at image quality, VRAM usage, and performance on a wide selection of modern graphics cards.

Or, maybe it does, point is I'm not too concerned either way.
