Head2Head Uncharted 3 vs Gears of War 3: Beta Analysis

Head2Head

So which BETA comes out on top in the performance department?

Welcome back for another exciting Head2Head. Today we take two exclusive giants and compare their performance differences. Keep in mind, these are both BETA versions and we are fully aware that many things might change when they hit store shelves this Fall. Nonetheless, we just couldn’t resist. We’ve been waiting for this a long time and we’re really excited to see results, aren’t you just a tad bit interested? So stick around while we put Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception and Gears of war 3 under our lens.

Below are the results of our analysis. As you can see by the video, both games ran close to 30 FPS. Subsequently though, Uncharted 3 did appear to dip in the low 20′s at some points in the video. On the flip side, Gears 3′s frame rate was much more consistent, managing to stay closer to that 30 FPS mark, but not with out a hitch; when it comes to screen tearing, it’s a completely different story. Its obvious which version had less tearing. The data provided showed that Uncharted 3 had almost zero screen tearing while the Gears of War 3 screen tore almost 5 percent of the time. Some pretty big differences if you ask us. Check out the stats below.
