Deus Ex: Human Revolution Performance Analysis

Tom's Hardware tests some different CPU's and graphics cards with the new Deus Ex game.

The highly anticipated prequel to the game that started it all, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is now available. We take a close look at this intriguing title, the first to offer in-game morphological anti-aliasing and AMD HD3D support upon its release.

It took more than seven years for the third game in the trilogy to arrive, but Deus Ex: Human Revolution is now available in stores. In addition to book-ending one of the highest-profile PC game series in existence, Eidos Montreal’s new release is the first game to natively support AMD’s HD3D on release, without middleware. It’s also the first game that provides AMD’s Morphological Anti-Aliasing (MLAA) technique to graphics cards from both side of the aisle, GeForce and Radeon alike. This makes it a particularly intriguing DirectX 11 title for us to analyze, so let’s dig in.

most decent gaming rigs can max it out.
I was concerned, but I max out everything with no lag...if you have issues just turn down/off SSAO and it should run like a dream

StayStatic4645d ago

15 min till release but won't be here till the morning :(

OpenGL4645d ago

Even two year old cards like the Radeon 5870 are able to max it easily.

StayStatic4645d ago (Edited 4645d ago )

oiii don't dis teh 5870 :P , lot of juice yet, granted the newer cards are much more powerful but its always the same with PC hardware.

yamzilla4645d ago

lol@ this card smoking the xbox360 and ps3!!!

http://www.tomshardware.com...

They cannot really be thinking of trying to push these consoles to 2012 for real....please say its a joke and a new ps4 and xbox720 will be out this fall, please......people say pc gaming is more expensive are mentally deficient!

an $84 video card DESTROYS the console version with dx11, SSAO and tesselation all on in a higher resolution and at better framerates.......

ohhh and the game is $15 less on pc...

sure consoles are cheaper for like the first 24 hours, then you buy the controllers, the day one dlc, the $15 inflated price for all your games, and now you have spent more than a pc that would shit on either console!

AO1JMM4645d ago

Whats your point? This is about various PC hardware and has nothing to do with the console side of things.

Spooder4645d ago

thats SO relevant!
(sarcasm)

Bonobo123454645d ago

why man? I just don't get it.

Do you sit there on your own all day without anyone to tell how awesome your pc is to?

AKS4645d ago (Edited 4645d ago )

I have no trouble with it at max/ DX11/ 60 fps/ ect. I do like the overall look, the lighting, and especially the art style, but I wouldn't be upset if they released a high-resolution texture update. I'd like to see some of the character models and objects in particular improved. Otherwise, looks very good and is an awesome game.

Looks very nice:

Well, except when it looks like this:

Yikes. I would not object if they did some more work on some of these characters' faces in particular. This was of course noted in the article, and it is something that I noticed immediately as well.

Microsoft's Absurd Antics Have Me Scared For Dishonored And Arkane Lyon's Future

With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.

Relientk778h ago

I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.

JEECE5h ago

I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.

thesoftware7304h ago

Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄

Skuletor2h ago

Just merge them all into a single studio, have it churn out a single Call of Duty every year and call it a day, lol.

Barlos1h ago

Don't be scared, you'll be fine.

Skuletor1h ago

It's exputer, fine is one word I would not associate with them.

Profchaos1h ago

I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige

/S it's beyond a joke right now

Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.

Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.

SlothLordPootus6h ago

As far as I can remember, they typically give a week heads up for these sorts of things.

Lightning776h ago

I was about to say Sony always gives a week in advance for their show.

VersusDMC5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Last year it was a weeks notice.

https://blog.playstation.co...

May 17th announcement for may 24th show.

VersusDMC5h ago

Nintendo always tweets that a direct is happening tomorrow but no one cares.

Sony gives a week or days of notice and we get anti sony type fake outrage like this.

But good luck trying trying to get some Sony hate going...

Petebloodyonion5h ago

You just mention it!
Sony gives a week in advance NOT just a couple of days.
So I fail to see what Sony's hate movement I'm trying to start when it's a basic business strategy to not piss off your partners (ask Sega).
And I doubt it's hate to ask how it would benefit Sony in doing so.

thesoftware7304h ago(Edited 4h ago)

@Versus
Huh? What?

Bro you really should relax, if what you read was some kinda negative against Sony.... seriously, is that what you got from the comments?

Bro, he was debunking the rumor, and gave perfectly good reasons why it would be unlikely, and your Nintendo Direct comparison is different, as this is supposed to be a BIG Sony showcase, not a surprise 20 min direct, and Sony 's pattern has been one week.

Slow down warmonger.

VersusDMC4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

@thesoftware730

"1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event."

That is implying Sony is preventing them from doing their job properly therefore negatively affecting their business...but i guess that's a reach in your mind?

And it's not like they need that many resources to cover the stream. They just need 3 people to react to the stream live and make some easy articles made up mostly of summaries of Sony provided press releases. They would have enough time to "prepare" if it was announced with one days notice.

Petebloodyonion2h ago

@Versus
" That is implying Sony is preventing them from doing their job properly therefore negatively affecting their business...but i guess that's a reach in your mind"

No, it simply implies that some media all over the world might (keyword MIGHT) not properly cover the event like having proper articles for each game announced, or having a proper preshow. maybe some popular YouTubers won't have time to prepare or simply your local newspaper doing an article on tech and game.

So why would Sony take a chance?
What benefit would that give them?

Before I get tons of replies for Sony given a week in advance, my initial comments are related to the notion that the Show could happen this week as the title mentions.
Now to be fair the complete article mentions that Jeff said the Show could happen later in May giving time for Sony to give the normal 7-day notice.

Again not trying to start a negative thing here just thinking that it's bogus that Sony will have a show this week

notachance4h ago

Yeah as much as I’d like to hear what sony’s 1st parties have cooked, it’s not their style to shadow drop a showcase.

Still waiting for ghost of tsushima 2, I’m ready whenever man..

You're assuming media outlets don't know about it.

Going in with no expectations but likely will see something that resonates with me.
