TechSpot has published a Splinter Cell: Blacklist performance article today for your viewing pleasure. For those of you that missed it, we posted our Splinter Cell: Blacklist image quality video card review on Monday.

PC gamers can look forward to a typical array of graphics options including TXAA antialiasing, soft shadows, horizon-based ambient occlusion and advanced DX11 tessellation -- all of which we plan to test with nearly two dozen graphics setups and a handful of processors.

I like the CPU comparison page. AMD FX processors were pretty close to the Intel counterparts. That's always a good sign when testing a 9 year old game engine.
 
Its been years since I've posted here, kinda miss the enthusiast PC community.

I nabbed a couple of GTX 680's from eBay for this game, hoping to be taken back to the golden days of the original splinter cell, pandora tomorrow and chaos theory.

Whilst the graphics engine is dated, it still looks great I think. Although it doesn't quite blow me away like the original (one of the first games to make use of real-time shadows). Maybe I was just younger then and found the mature themes more captivating.

Hoping to see a high end AMD/NV SLI/Crossfire shootout with this game and the upcoming Hawaii GPU's
 
If by pretty close you mean the 8350 couldn't beat an i3 and that even when overclocked couldn't keep up with the video card or come close to an i7 that was running a full ghz behind... yeah, close indeed.
 
Could have sworn that it was 8 fps behind the 4770K in the first chart without an OC. And comparing the 2nd and 3rd charts where they OC'd both CPU, the FX-8350 was 4 fps behind. I would consider that close.

Does it need to be say 1 fps difference to be considered close in your mind? Or is that a complete blowout also? Remember this game is 9 years old and single threaded. Usually the FX-8350 would be much further behind because most of it's cores would be idling.

Did you really come on this thread to say that? 79fps (4770k) vs 71fps (FX-8350) - HUGE fucking difference that is! Let's not even bring up the fact that the i5-3470 is slower than the i3 you mention too. Get out of here.
