Mafia 2 Demo Benchmark - Core i7 920 @ 4.0GHz + MSI Cyclone 460 GTX SLI

[Kipedias]

LOL?!?! 100 FPS on super ultra settings??? I get only maximum 25 FPS on the lowest setting on my MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo...

i hate this game not the hole game just its not good on sli ..... yet with the new driver i just made a benchmark its about the same system as yours but i have 560ti`s and to my surprise i got a 56fps rank C ! ok i might play the game now :P i will try it with AA and come back to u.

[KingStivan]

@KingStivan ok with AA i got 51.5 fps i think the new 280.19 drivers are gr8 !!

[Sssagaman]

Hmm, my 9800GT SLI do work better than solo but sure not 90% +

SLI in some games really isnt optimized...

I hate the fact that most of the SLI setups stop working when Frapsing gameplay, where in both Crysis it even records in 1080p with both GPUs running 99% :)

Both original Crysis are just perfect for SLI setups

BTW: I added you in my sub box ;)

What do u get with AA on an AFx16? avg?

[TheGamer85Play]

@GamerX7800X I will do the benchmark for you with the released version of the game with your settings. I will answer soon.

[GamerX7800X]

@TheGamer85Play Thank you very much!... im planning to get these cards.. but it will depends on what the price of a GTX 560 will be which will come out soon! :)

[TheGamer85Play]

@GamerX7800X I had the same setting like in this video exept AA on and 16xAF so here is my result

SLI 39.0

SLI deactivated, rendering on 1st & phyx on 2nd card: 35.5

SLI deactivated & both rendering and phyx on the same card: 31.6

as you clearly see sli & phyx combined doesnt work really well on this title... im aint sure if its my hardware or this game. One thing is sure is that it is the only game that i had issues with SLI. I hope I answered your question.

[GamerX7800X]

@TheGamer85Play Hmm.. i think its because on deactivated, the game can use the full physX power of the second card, since this game is on of the first games which support Nvidia PhysX

Do you get any mini stuttering while playing? Because im getting mini stuttering when SLI is turned on (9800GTX Sli) and fraps doesn't react to the mini stuttering.

And thanks again for testing :))

[TheGamer85Play]

@GamerX7800X I have tested with msi afterburner some time ago and phyx barely used the card on its own so i dont think that it is the reason of why it doesnt work well with phyx and sli. I have had stuttering while playing but only at the begaining (couple of minutes) after that it was smooth but low in performance. SLI disabled removed all those negative effect so i played the whole game without SLI.

If you have more question feel free to ask!

[GamerX7800X]

@TheGamer85Play Yeah,.. sometimes i have a weird framedrop to 20fps while there isn't alot going on on the screen.. and then suddenly it goes up again to 60/70fps..

I just finished the game 10 mins ago for the second time, i just love mafia stories! :D

[TheGamer85Play]

@GamerX7800X i have exactly the same issues when sli/physx is on. I dont understand why they didnt fixed it. Anyway its better to say that sli isnt well supported.

[heidipearl69]

i had the same result in this benchmark

i guess when u use 'auto' in physx settings, the driver set 1 card into a dedicated physx card, & the other as render card :D

[whtss]

MSI gtx 460 1GB CYCLONE or the gtx 460 1GB HAWK? and why? PLEASE REPLY ASAP ANYONE!

[TheGamer85Play]

@whtss its the MSI Cyclone GTX 460 1GB model

[3iHard]

amazing perfomance

[mrkilla5091]

thier is somthing wrong with your physx mate i see too less debriss laying around on the floor this is defently not high physx i think its modded or u runned the benchmark couple of time afer eachhotter becouse then the frames went up en debriss particles went down

on my gtx 480 SLI system i have 3 times more debriss

[TheGamer85Play]

@mrkilla5091 yes i ran it 3 times on each game because its more like the true experiance of fps. when its the 1st time you run anygame it will always not be smooth until it load more texture and stuff. crysis use 3 times render benchmark and its always slower the 1st run so i did the same 3 times run with all my games that i did benchmark with. I dont have any mod on this demo. thanks for watching and leaving a comment
