Alien Rage Unlimited – PC Performance Analysis

Alien Rage

If we were to take our PC Performance Analysis of Shadow Warrior and change the game’s title, we could be very well looking at Alien Rage Unlimited’s PC Performance Analysis article. You see, Alien Rage faces similar optimization issues (although there isn’t any ‘Mirrors’ setting that cripples the CPU) with Flying Wild Hog’s title; there are scenes that are as unoptimized as they can get and both of these games scale on quad-cores but do not take advantage of them. To put it simple – Alien Rage Unlimited has issues that have not been fixed/addressed yet, despite the game already receiving three patches.

Battlefield 4 v5

You’ve heard about Mantle and how it will boost the performance of AMD’s cards on Battlefield 4, right? Well, today we get a glimpse of what we can expect from that low-level API. According to AMD, Battlefield 4’s demo (at its recent AMD event) was running on a single R9 290X card at 5760×1080 (though it has not been confirmed whether it was running with constant 60fps. We should note that we did not notice any slowdowns, so we are most probably looking at a 60fps gameplay heaven).
