We tested the game using the 64-bit executable under and DirectX 10 with the 1.21 patch applied. We used a custom time demo recorded on the Harbour map which is more representative of gameplay than the built-in benchmark that renders things much faster than you're going to experience in game.

For our testing, we set all the settings to High. Because of how intense the game is, we tested without anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering enabled, and at a resolution of 1,680 x 1,050. There is currently no support for anisotropic filtering in the game, but you can still force it from the driver control panel if you wish.

It should be noted that the Rampage III Gene and X58A-UD3R were tested with version 10.5 of ATI Catalyst display driver installed. All other boards were tested with version 10.2 installed.
