On March 28th, NetEase MMORPG, which is claimed to have taken 6 years and spent 1 billion to develop and develop, finally opened the public beta.
Nowadays, there are more and more fast food games, and it is difficult for traditional MMORPGs to have high-quality new works, and games such as "World of Warcraft", "Final Fantasy 14", "Fantasy Westward Journey", and "Sword Network 3" are still popular, and it is difficult to have a new game that can challenge their status.
Test platform configuration at a glance
The first time after the open beta was opened, the author used a desktop computer with the following configuration to experience it:
The desktop computer used by the author is equipped with an Intel Core i7-14790F processor, and the graphics card is Intel Arc A750, which belongs to the current mid-range performance level.
· Day0 driver support for a smooth experience
Intel Arc Graphics has launched a Day0-level 5379 driver for "Condor Shooting". According to past experience, the driver of Intel Arc graphics card is very important, the driver update before 30-40fps barely running games, may update a version of the driver, the frame rate can be increased by 2-3 times, you can refer to the "maximum increase of 418%! worthy of the name of the veritable "cultivation system graphics card" Intel Arc A750 new and old driver game comparison" article, the maximum frame rate increased to 418%, which shows how important the driver of the Arc graphics card is.
After entering the game,After a series of plots,We can open the settings menu to adjust the image quality,Here I used the highest image quality to experience,In addition, considering the resolution of the Ruixuan A750 graphics card,I chose the 1920×1080 mode。
"Condor Shooting" is a game worthy of NetEase's high hopes for MMORPG masterpieces, and the art quality of the game scenes is quite high. At the same time, the light and shadow effects presented at the highest image quality greatly enhance the texture of the picture, making people instantly integrate into the romantic martial arts world.
However, online games are online games after all, and the frame rate of the picture will not only be affected by the image quality itself, but also by the number of people online, such as when rushing with light power in the main city, the overall fluctuation of the frame rate will be relatively large, this is because there are a large number of other players online at the same time, and the minimum picture smoothness at this time is about 44fps.
However, in other scenarios where there are relatively few players, the game can basically maintain a frame rate of more than 60fps. Therefore, after the Ruixuan A750 platform is updated with the 5379 version of the driver, there is no problem with running this game smoothly at 1920×1080 resolution and the highest image quality.
The overall characteristics of the game "Condor Shooting" are relatively obvious, the gameplay is more diverse, and it is very meaningful that you can learn a lot of ancient Chinese "cold knowledge" from the game, and many interesting knowledge points are buried in the NPCs you encounter inadvertently, which will give people the motivation to continue to explore. For example, the interpretation of characters, the music created by ancient poems, etc., can bring surprises to players who are good at discovery, and I didn't even want to push the main quest for a while, and I was completely indulged in the joy of finding NPCs to discover small quests.
The area that could be improved is the poor quality of the detail maps. And this game pinched the character modeling in the actual game, which is a bit wrong.
In terms of the game's combat system, it is generally a standard domestic martial arts online game combat system, and you can easily get started after playing "Heavenly Sword" and the like. There are a lot of special effects during the battle, and the Ruixuan A750 graphics card can also give enough performance support to perfectly present various special effects. For example, in a relatively small indoor place, the frame rate can reach about 100fps, and in a relatively large outdoor scene, it can also achieve a smoothness of more than 65fps, which is definitely enough for this kind of game.
After actual experience, the core i7-14700F+ Ruixuan A750 configuration used by the author has an average frame rate of 78fps when running "Condor". The average usage of the processor is 20%, the average utilization rate of the graphics card is as high as 96%, and the usage rate of video memory is 87%, which shows that the main load of this game is indeed on the graphics card, and if the GPU performance is insufficient, it will affect the final running experience of the game very significantly.
In addition, referring to the test situation at 2K resolution, the standard image quality, the average frame rate of the measured game is 60fps, which can also achieve smooth operation. In addition, we actually used the public version of the RTX 4060 graphics card to experience this game, with DLSS turned off, the average picture smoothness is only slightly higher than that of the Ruixuan A750, about 65-71fps, considering the current retail price of the RTX 4060 graphics card and Ruixuan A750, for friends who don't have so many budgets, Ruixuan A750 is more cost-effective.
Review summary
In our series of game-specific reviews for Intel Arc graphics cards, we can summarize a rule, that is, compared with A cards and N cards, the performance improvement brought by driver optimization is often immediate. "Condor Shooting" is a game with an average frame rate of about 78fps in 1080p and an average frame rate of about 60fps in 2K under the new driver, which can meet the smooth gaming experience.
Overall,Intel Arc A750 graphics card when playing games,Or more suitable1080p and2K resolution,In these two resolutions, it can support the vast majority of current online games and large-scale 3A games to run smoothly at the highest image quality,And the recent reference price is about 1400 yuan,The overall cost performance is good,For users who pursue a cost-effective PC building solution,RuixuanA750It is very suitable as a graphics card configuration。
