The value in the fields displays the average frame rate of all values in the database. Uncertain – This graphics card has not been explicitly tested on this game and no reliable interpolation can be made based on the performances of surrounding cards of the same class or family. A slower card may be able to achieve better and more consistent frame rates than this particular GPU running the same benchmark scene.

Uncertain – This graphics card experienced unexpected performance issues during testing for this game. Based on interpolated information from surrounding graphics cards of similar performance levels, fluent frame rates are expected. May Run Fluently – This graphics card has not been explicitly tested on this game. Based on interpolated information from surrounding graphics cards of similar performance levels, stutters and poor frame rates are expected.įluent – Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, this game should run at or above 25fpsįluent – Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, this game should run at or above 35fpsįluent – Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, this game should run at or above 58fps

May Stutter – This graphics card has not been explicitly tested on this game. Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, average frame rates are expected to fall below 25fps Stutters – This game is very likely to stutter and have poor frame rates. n123 Number of benchmarks for this median value / * Approximate position In addition, loading times could be faster - at least, when reading from a hard disk. While this control really helps how other games looks and play, the farming simulator is inclined to flickering when displaying game objects (particularly trees and bushes). Edge smoothing is handled using MSAA settings. This includes anisotropic texture filtering, something that hardly impacts modern PC performance nowadays. Settings many only be altered in the main menu, but when you select Very High graphics quality, you can't see all the controls on screen.

That sad, we have to take issue with some of the game's restrictions. There, you'll find nearly 20 options to manage the PC runtime environment that supports completely unique tuning and customization. Those who want to get under the game's hood and mess with its innards will enjoy working with the expanded graphics menus. The most important of these is the "Hardware Profile" item, which establishes overall graphics quality via settings for Low, Medium, High, and Very High. Among others, they include such things as HUD scaling, the visual field, brightness, image mode, and vertical synch. Along with the general settings, you'll find 11 additional features beyond resolution to dig into. The options menu offers a wide range of choices to manage. The limitations of a small developer organization clearly make themselves felt in the areas of game controls and infrastructure. It's our frank opinion that game navigation and most of the menus could easily be made more user-friendly and attractive. Although this is the 17th version, they'll find that its tutorials do a half-way decent job of helping them understand and manipulate its many game elements. But newbies need not worry too much about jumping late to this game. That adjective - atmospheric - carries over into much of this game. But this, too, has its own curious charm and gives the game an occasional dash of slapstick humor.Īll in all the overall graphics are workmanlike, though in some situations (such as when rendering tall grass in a sunset scene) you'll see lots of atmospheric effects. Game physics vary between good and curiously bad, as when the Bulldog trailers take to the air behind your tractor (if hauled through a confined space of your own making). Only the farming equipment is very sharp, almost lovingly detailed when rendered. Even at the highest level of detail, graphics look a little fuzzy, whether rendering characters or textures. Technically speaking, the 17th edition of this game is a little underwhelming.
