Map to benchmark Starcraft II?

[Byte]

I'm trying to test a bunch of old video cards, and few processors. Anyone know a good map to benchmark with? Something I can DL and run replay and let fraps record a minute and repeat.



Try the other Starcraft threads.

My system struggles the most with Zerg on Metalopolis.

I don't think maps will matter much. It's units and buildings that take rendering power. (Pylons!)

The mission "A Sinister Turn" is a great map for benchmarking, IMHO. Lots of water generating lots of reflections plus lots of shiny protoss that's guaranteed to eat your frames. :thumbsup:

I would hardly call sc2 a game you would post benchmarks on. Its not very graphic intensive. It runs on a wide range of cards for that very reason.

It's also extremely popular and brings a surprising number of systems to their knees. I've seen more "Will my rig run Starcraft II?!" posts lately than in regards to any other game.
