Performance in Strategies

Perimeter

Perimeter yields rather queer results. The CPU’s limiting influence is not too obvious in this game as the results of the RADEON X1800 XT and XL suggest, but the GeForce 6/7 cards all have the same speed in all resolutions for some unclear reason. The performance limit varies for each resolution, and for the minimal and average fps rates. The same thing occurs in both test modes: “pure speed” and “eye candy”. We’ll try to find out as soon as possible if this is a special feature of the Perimeter engine or a problem of the current ForceWare version.
