    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat is a first person shooter based around the destruction of a nuclear power plant. It uses the XRAY 1.6 Engine, features DirectX 11 support, and it includes real-time GPU tessellation. The maps feature photo realistic scenes of the region it is made to represent.

    Benchmark Settings
    Preset Ultra
    Renderer Enhanced Full Dynamic Lighting DirectX 11
    MSAA 4x
    MSAA for A-tested object DX10 Style
    SSAO Default
    SSAO Quality High
    Tessellation Enabled
    Test SunShafts

    This was a fun benchmark to watch since it basically does a series of flybys over the terrain in different lighting and weather conditions.  We choose to use the SunShafts test for these results since it not only looked the best but also taxed the cards the most.

    Results of this test mimic the other game based benchmarks.
