PLA Game Benchmark - GTX 680 SLi @ 1080p DX11 - Unreal Engine 3

PLA is the first China-developed DirectX 11 benchmark officially released by a top Chinese developer—Giant IronHorse Studio.
• First-ever China-developed DirectX 11 benchmark featuring tessellation, Horizon-Based Ambient Occlusion (HBAO), and Bokeh depth of field.
• Game-changing GPU PhysX features including destruction, cloth, particles, and first-ever GPU Rigid Bodies.

The Chinese gaming industry has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years, progressing from the creation of outsourced art and copycat Facebook games to the development of fully-fledged AAA titles that generate hundreds of millions of dollars per year. Hoping to replicate that success is Passion Leads Army (PLA), a highly anticipated, free-to-play, multiplayer online first-person shooter from Giant IronHorse.
Known locally as 光荣使命, Giant IronHorse's shooter is one of the most graphically advanced Chinese titles to date, in part thanks to the use of Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3. Featuring a range of DirectX 11 effects, such as tessellation and Bokeh depth of field, PLA also makes extensive use of NVIDIA's GPU-accelerated PhysX technology to generate realistic, physics-led effects. To help promote PLA, and to get gamers ready for its launch later this year, Giant IronHorse has released the first-ever Chinese-developed DirectX 11 benchmark featuring the aforementioned range of effects.

What drivers where u using and did u oc ur gtx 680's. I have my i7 3770k @4.5 and have 2 gtx 680's as well.

[yapchagi]

It is beta 304.48 but physx is installed and physx works just fine in other physx games like arkham city, arkham asylum, mafia II, etc.

[diddler]

Definately an SLi profile update in the latest drivers I would say.

[tui]

the multiplayer of this game will be really cool trust me on this

[PowerGPUpcs]

what doesnt make sense is that i ran the same settings and i avg 58.1 and max was 98.3, i am now downloading the 304.48 beta to see if thats what it is and what is ur core clock and memory clock set to.

[diddler]

This is for a game called PLA developed for the Chinese market.

[PowerGPUpcs]

I just want to add I love my 680's over the amd 7970's that I had

[whiskhot]

What about a bench with downsampling+AA ?

[diddler]

I'm using the 304.48 beta drivers and have a mild overclock on the GPU's at the moment.

[yapchagi]

I don't know why but I can't turn on PhysX. It's just greyed out.

[diddler]

Sounds like your SLi isn't working. Maybe the 304 driver has an SLi profile and the drivers you are using doesn't. I got the driver from Guru3D. My GPU overclock is running a GPU clock offset of +112Mhz and Mem Clock Offset of +80Mhz.

Limit of the iPhone 4 I was using to record the video.

Shadows looked pretty bad, you sure they were set properly?

[PowerGPUpcs]

hey diddler yes it was the drivers i ran it with everything maxed out on the 301.10 drivers i had and i avg 58.3 and max was 98.1 now with the 304 beta drivers I avg 121.3 and max was 235.8. that was with 4 runs. makes me laugh how drivers make such a big differance

[diddler]

Probably because you installed a beta driver that didn't include the Physx driver.

[PowerGPUpcs]

So i avg 116.7 and max was 148.6 on high spec.

[SuckItLily]

Who cares, it's off screen any way. This is about the results he's getting more than anything else.

SLi Little mor Power 15-20 % ;( :D
2 x GTX 680 = 1000 Euro
