To gauge performance levels which are easily reproduced time after time, by both ourselves and our readers, we now stick strictly to games default profiles. With our previous reviews, we used the “Medium or Normal” preset. However, as GPUs get faster, we’ve now moved that up to “High” profiles for all games, at all resolutions. V-Sync is always disabled in our testing, as are FreeSync and G-Sync technologies or similar. Graphics card power usage set to optimised or balance, and the system power mode set to High Performance within Windows and the available GPU driver software. Identical settings are used for all resolutions unless otherwise stated.
The RAGE 2 was using the first outdoor scene in the games opening sequence. It’s got a great mixture of lighting effects, explosions, enemies, NPCs, and is quite a large area, making it a fairly balance test. The high profile was used for frame rate testing with V-Sync off, Scaling Off, and Chromatic Abrasion and Motion Blur Off (because I hate them). Furthermore, we also test 1080p resolution only, using the low, medium, high and ultra profiles.
