Next we'll look at performance with a couple of triple-A title games, Middle Earth: Shadow Of Mordor and
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands. In these game tests, we set up both 1080p / high frame rate tests, as well as 4K very high image quality testing, to show both ends of the spectrum for fast action, lag-free gaming on the and top-notch visuals.

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor Performance

Glorious Orc-Slaying Vengeance
|
|
Monolith’s surprisingly fun Orc-slaying title delivers a ton of visual fidelity even at the lowest quality settings. So, to maximize eye candy while also heavily taxing the cards, we ran the game's built in benchmark with its Ultra quality settings at a couple of resolutions, topping out at 4K on these tricked-out dragster gaming PCs.
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Obviously, having two overclocked
GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards, any system should be able to handle 1080p and even 1440p gaming with ease, but what happens when we crank the resolution up to
4K? The Millennium lets out a hearty laugh, that's what. In Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, the Millennium topped 200 frames per second at 4K, compared to 270 fps at 1440p and 280 fps at 1080p.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands |
DirectX 11 Gaming Performance |
|
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is a tactical shooter, set in an open-world environment. The game is played from a third-person perspective, though there is an optional first person view when aiming certain guns. Players are members of the fictional "Ghosts", an elite special-operations unit of the United States Army. We tested Wildlands -- which is a DX11 title -- with all of the in-game graphical options cranked up to their maximum values, at both 1440P and 4K...
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands
We have only recently begun compiling benchmark data for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands. However, the one other system that we have benchmark data for, Dell's
Alienware Area-51 Threadripper Edition, is equipped with a single GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card. This provides us an opportunity to see how performance scales in SLI with two GeForce GTX 1080 Ti cards underneath the hood.
