STALKER: Call of Pripyat

Publisher: Deep Silver

From our STALKER: Call of Pripyat review:
One place where STALKER: Call of Pripyat definitely excels is in the graphics department, with fancy DirectX 11 tessellation, huge view distances and a gorgeous lighting system that really delivers in wow-factor. Pushing the game up to the maximum settings can require some hefty hardware obviously, but it’s worth the effort if you can because the technical prowess of the game is one thing that’s impossible to fault.

We run the game at its prettiest, and most demanding, with the image quality set to Maximum and in DX11 mode. We then enter the Advanced settings menu to ramp up every slider to maximum. We leave SSAO (Soft Shadow Ambient Occlusion) at default. We repeat each test three times, discarding anomalous results and averaging the consistent ones.
