Medal Of Honor: WarFighter In Technology Check

System Requirements And Graphics Comparison

Medal of Honor: Warfighter does away with sleazy look. Thanks Frostbyte 2 engine is presenting the shooter with superb optics, but what about the system requirements?

After the rather mediocre predecessor of 2010, it tries to help 2012 Danger Close again to the Medal of Honor series to its former glory. The technical requirements of the instruments in any case: the developer uses the Frostbite 2 engine, which was already in Battlefield 3 used. First, we can say that the appearance is managed abolut, graphically plays Medal of Honor: Warfighter definitely in the big leagues. What about the system requirements and is in doubt as to provide for greater performance, we'll tell you in our technology check.

Medal Of Honor : WarFighter

Windows XP users beware: The engine of the new Medal of Honor only supports DirectX 10.1 and DirectX 11 To play Warfighter can therefore be installed on your system Windows Vista or better yet installed Windows 7. Running Windows XP no longer the title. Particularly well the developers are the lighting effects and shadows. The Ambient Occlusion also ensures that objects appear more natural integration into the levels, but they cost little shadow effects up to 20 percent power.

Typical military shooter: In Medal of Honor: Warfighter it crashes non-stop.

To Medal of Honor: Warfighter to play in full HD and at four times the smoothing liquid may be a graphics card of the GeForce GTX 560 Ti or Radeon HD 5870 stuck in your computer. The memory hunger has its limits, even with two GB to play fluently in most situations, but then come to occasional Nachladeruckler. The processor is already sufficient, an Athlon II X2 260 or an Intel Core 2 Duo E8500. In the forums are reported suddenly emerging performance slumps, they are in our test but not noticed. The reason for the poor performance was not yet clear.

Graphics Settings

All settings are taken directly from the game, a reboot is not necessary.

The graphics settings of Medal of Honor Warfighter are quite extensive. In addition to the resolution, we must affect 13 settings. Visually, the settings you sometimes only marginally, as our comparison images. Most impact on performance, as so often has anti-aliasing. Here, the game features two different modes: the hardware MSAA anti-aliasing and faster shader alternative FXAA. The best way to see both options in combination. Each level you lose MSAA depending on the game situation, up to 20 percent power. FXAA costs only ten percent of performance - with minimal loss of sharpness.

The second major power guzzlers is the ambient occlusion. Which ensures natural, indirect shadows on objects placed in the game world. HBAO looks best and can break the frame rate up to 20 percent. SSAO looks a little worse and costs only ten percent power. All other settings have little effect on the frame rate.
