In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the performance capabilities of a certain GPU, emphasizing its ability to handle modern games with high settings. They highlight how the GPU can play “Battlefield 5” at an average of 92 frames per second on high settings, similar to the performance of a GTX 1070 but more consistently. For “Apex Legends,” the card achieves nearly 77.5 frames per second on max settings, with the potential for 120 frames per second if settings are adjusted. The GPU also delivers a playable experience in “Modern Warfare” at high settings, averaging around 60 frames per second, and up to 90 frames per second on medium settings for competitive play.
The speaker uses a metaphor, comparing the GPU to a packed sandwich that can be adjusted by removing some elements to maintain performance. For demanding games like “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided,” the GPU achieves an impressive 80 frames per second on high settings. They assert that for a budget of around $100, the performance of this compact GPU is sufficient for many players, even achieving nearly 200 frames per second in “Rainbow Six Siege” at ultra settings. The speaker acknowledges the critiques of benchmarking older games but argues that the demonstrated performance suggests the GPU can handle newer titles well at decent settings.
