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 in DirectX 10 mode with full detail at 1,280 x 1,024, manually timing the game's first uncached load. The system is then rebooted and the test repeated twice, with the average time recorded.

Windows 7


We use a freely available restart timer to test how quickly Windows 7 shuts down and reboots. This is more reliable than using a stopwatch for manually timing reboots or cold boots, and a lot easier.
