XCOM 2 Notebook Benchmarks

Just one more round, honey. While XCOM 2's gameplay has been received with great enthusiasm, XCOM 2's graphics currently leave something to be desired. Read on to find out which laptop GPUs will enable players to effectively wipe the aliens off the face of the Earth.

Graphics

When the writer responsible for a benchmark article is inclined to play a game for hours rather than search for a fitting test sequence, the developers must have done a lot right. Like the precursor released in 2012 (XCOM Enemy Unknown), XCOM 2 proves to be an exciting and individually tailored mix of action, strategy and tactics -- very addictive. Yes, the missions and their sequences do repeat after a while, but the fundamental gaming principle with base building, research, character customization and turn-based battles certainly doesn't get old quickly.

The only thing that bothered us is that most of the missions only allow the player a certain amount of time. As a result, the gamer only has a few rounds to escort a VIP or obtain a particular object. Yes, on the one hand this mechanic provides a flush of excitement, but the pressure may scare off fans of calmer tactics. Additionally, during the course of some missions the player is confronted with sudden, unexpected events (example: a new kind of enemy spawns abruptly). This damages the gamer's sense of fairness and balance -- and that at the very beginning of the single-player campaign.

Firaxis Games could put a little more work into the controls as well. While operation is fundamentally simple and intuitive, in practice it's often a bit choppy, especially when objects in the way aren't hidden. But these things don't change the fact that we had a ton of fun in our trial run. Thanks to the well-executed video sequences and smart close-ups, XCOM 2 has simply got flair. Other crudely-staged tactical games don't hold a candle to this title.

The primary realm in which XCOM 2 deserves some critique is graphics. Cons include the rather long load times and the poor performance. Both at the base and on the missions, tracking shots and menu changes often lead to bothersome stuttering -- no matter how strong the computer's components are. In general, XCOM 2 demands a whole lot of a system's hardware. Without a quick GPU, the title won't be much fun.

On the other hand, the developers deserve hearty congratulations for the well deliberated settings options. As in the Rise of the Tomb Raider game we recently reviewed, the graphics options are divided into two menus. In sum, XCOM 2 offers about 20 settings -- which is more than respectable for a PC game (though unfortunately the options aren't explained). We especially liked the five presets that enable the player to quickly adjust the overall graphics quality. With a few exceptions, these presets are cleverly tuned. Since all of the settings are immediately adopted, there's no need to restart the game.

Visually, even at the Low preset XCOM 2 is reasonably attractive; from the High preset upwards, the game looks amazing. Only the "Minimum" preset strikes us as disappointing. When everything is activated, the title impresses with its crisp textures, excellent lighting and cool effects. Additionally, many maps are bursting with little ornamental objects, which does a lot to enhance the atmosphere. We didn't experience any crashes, image errors or significant bugs during our test. Only the Schenker W504 had problems when we connected a UHD display (no 4K resolution available).

Update from February 10th 2016: During further gaming sessions we did in fact encounter graphics errors and crashes. Tip: Those who are quickly frustrated should definitely select the lowest difficulty level. Even medium proves to be extremely challenging.

Benchmark

Due to the fluctuating performance and small maps, it was quite difficult to find an adequate benchmark sequence. After a lot of trial and error, the "Star Tower" operation proved to be the best solution. In this mission, the player carefully examines the ADVENT enemy's "Blacksite". To prevent the majority of the map being covered with the fog of war, after the player completes all the objectives the characters are distributed across the map. As the video reveals, we traveled with the camera from the mission starting point to the evacuation zone a total of three times, logging minimum to average frame rates as we went.

Depending on the player's surroundings, XCOM 2's performance is greatly variable. Maps with a desert-look run -- who'd have guessed -- considerably smoother than missions based in a city. Notebooks and desktop PCs have even more to chew on in forest and grassland maps. Our benchmark sequence is mostly composed of the latter, rendering it almost a worst-case scenario. If a device manages more than 25-30 fps here, the rest of the game should be playable. In XCOM 2's successor, we would definitely like to see an integrated benchmark that covers zones blanketed with various forms of vegetation.

Results

Although XCOM 2 isn't a first-person shooter or third-person title, the system requirements are very high. Owners of low-end graphics cards like the GeForce GT 740M or the HD Graphics 4600 / 5600 can forget it. Mid-range chips on par with the GeForce 940M or GT 750M are the first to manage 1280x720 pixels at the minimum preset. For a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, the system's graphics card must be an upper mid-range or high-end model. Low details require a GTX 850M; medium settings won't run smoothly with anything less than a GTX 960M.

Those who prefer to play at high settings in Full HD will need a luxury model of the same caliber as the GTX 970M. Due to the 8x anti-aliasing, the maximum preset is too much for all current notebook chips, with the possible exception of the GTX 980 (the desktop version manages 30 fps). 3840x2160 pixels is nothing more than a dream at this point. Not even the leading desktop cards (AMD R9 Fury etc.) can run the game fluently at the High preset. As usual, XCOM 2 is generally limited by the GPU; only at minimum to low settings is the CPU occasionally the limiting factor. We certainly hope Firaxis Games soon releases a patch that improves the game's performance at a fundamental level.

5Stutters – This game is very likely to stutter and have poor frame rates. Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, average frame rates are expected to fall below 25fps
May Stutter – This graphics card has not been explicitly tested on this game. Based on interpolated information from surrounding graphics cards of similar performance levels, stutters and poor frame rates are expected.
30Fluent – Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, this game should run at or above 25fps
40Fluent – Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, this game should run at or above 35fps
60Fluent – Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, this game should run at or above 58fps
May Run Fluently – This graphics card has not been explicitly tested on this game. Based on interpolated information from surrounding graphics cards of similar performance levels, fluent frame rates are expected.
?Uncertain – This graphics card experienced unexpected performance issues during testing for this game. A slower card may be able to achieve better and more consistent frame rates than this particular GPU running the same benchmark scene.
Uncertain – This graphics card has not been explicitly tested on this game and no reliable interpolation can be made based on the performances of surrounding cards of the same class or family.
The value in the fields displays the average frame rate of all values in the database. Move your cursor over the value to see individual results.
