Control legendary warships in online team battles World of Warships.

THE GRAFICAL PART

This subsection of our review highlights the main graphical aspects of this game. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphic settings and the quality of development of the main visual aspects.

Supported OS and graphics API

World of Warships Beta is supported by major operating systems Windows, which includes Windows XP/Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Other operating systems are not currently supported by developers and will not be supported. 

 

The priority and main graphics API for World of Warships Beta is DirectX 9. 

Game engine

World of Warships Beta is based on the BigWorld game engine, which was implemented by Wargaming for use in its own products.

 

Unfortunately, we did not find more detailed information about the game engine, except for the data listed above...

Advanced Game Settings

World of Warships Beta has graphic settings similar to all Wargaming games. As befits games in this series, changing graphic settings requires directly restarting the game itself.

  

Below we have provided screenshots of the game at various graphics settings, where our readers can see the difference between the minimum, medium and maximum graphics quality settings. 

Various quality modes

The picture quality between the different settings in World of Warships Beta is quite decent. Everything changes - the environment, the sea, the detail of the ship.

Comparison of FullHD and 4K

In 4K, World of Warships Beta looks much better than HD, because in this case the picture becomes clearer and smoother.

Comparison of anti-aliasing modes

Activating full-screen anti-aliasing does not eliminate all “surface unevenness”; the picture still leaves much to be desired.

General visual design and game physics

World of Warships Beta is one of the first games of this genre, where naval battles are closely connected with the online component. The picture in the game is quite nice, but since World of Warships Beta is at the beta testing stage, there are some shortcomings in it that can quite possibly be eliminated in the shortest possible time. The physics in the game are very pleasing, showing very good realism in controlling sea vessels.

 

 

 

Next, we will move directly to gaming tests and determine what impact this game has on modern computer hardware. 

TEST PART

Test GPU

All video cards were tested at maximum graphics quality using MSI Afterburner. The purpose of the test is to determine how video cards from different manufacturers behave under the same conditions. The average and minimum FPS were taken as performance indicators. Below is a video of the test segment:    

Our video cards were tested at separate screen resolutions of 1920x1080, 2560x1600 and 3840x2160 at very high and maximum graphics quality settings allowed by World of Warships Beta. AMD CrossFireX and SLI are not supported by the game.. The game has a strange internal FPS limit of 73 frames.

Testing at resolution 1920x1080

 

Testing at maximum quality settings 1920x1080 

  

With these settings An acceptable FPS indicator was shown by video cards of the Radeon R7 260X or GeForce GTX 750 Ti level. 

Testing at 2560x1600 resolution

 

Testing at maximum quality settings 2560x1600

 

With these settings An acceptable FPS indicator was shown by video cards of the Radeon R7 260X or GeForce GTX 750 Ti level.

Testing at resolution 3840x2160

 

Testing at maximum quality settings 3840x2160

 

With these settings An acceptable FPS indicator was shown by video cards of the Radeon R9 270 or GeForce GTX 660 level. The optimal solutions will be  Radeon R9 285 or GeForce GTX 760.

Testing of video memory consumed by the game was carried out by the program MSI Afterburner. The indicator was based on results on top video cards from AMD and NVIDIA with separate screen sizes 1920x1080 and 2560x1600 with different anti-aliasing settings.

Testing at maximum memory quality settings GPU

 

The recommended amount of video memory usage for a resolution of 1920x1080 will be 1536 MB of video memory, for a resolution of 2560x1600 - 2048 MB of video memory, and for a resolution of 3840x2160 about 3076 MB of video memory. 

Test CPU

  

We tested processor dependence on 16 models of basic configurations that are relevant today. The test was carried out in those places where the video card value for the game is minimal and its load was less than 99%, this time at a resolution of 1920x1080 with maximum graphics quality settings. 

Testing at maximum quality settings 1920x1080

 

The CPU performance in the game is sufficient for all models.

Loading of processor coresat maximum quality settings 1920x1080 Intel% 

 

Loading of processor cores at maximum quality settings 1920x1080 AMD% 

 

World of Warships Beta is disproportionately capable of supporting up to 4 computing threads, but only fully utilizes 2 computing cores.

RAM test

The test was carried out on the basic configuration of Core i 7 5960X@4.6 GHz with 16GB DDR4 2400 MGz pre-installed memory. The entire used operational memory was taken as an indicator. The RAM test on the entire system was carried out on various test benches without launching third-party applications (browsers, etc.).

Testing the game's RAM consumption at various quality settings 

 

As we can see, with various quality settings, the amount of RAM consumed in World of Warships Beta is at the level of 800 megabytes.

Testing system RAM consumption  

 

If you have a 6GB system, World of Warships Beta consumes about 2.6GB of RAM. In the presence of a system with 8 gigabytes, the RAM consumption of all RAM was 2.6 gigabytes. With a 16 GB system, the total memory consumption was almost 2.7 GB. And with 32 gigabytes of RAM, the system consumes 3.7 gigabytes of RAM.
