Granted I couldn't understand a single word you said in the video, the specs sound about accurate. Although I found it interesting that the background video was you (presumably you) playing Shadow of Mordor yet it isn't included in the benchmarks, would have thought it be more fitting to include gameplay footage of the games that were actually included as benchmarks.

A couple critiques - I would argue that 'Full HD' is 1920x1080, not 1920x1200. It also wouldn't hurt (if available) to have benchmarks/numbers ran for 2560x1440 resolution, as it is the resolution that many people are upgrading to instead of 4K.

This is all I understood from your video, you tested at:

HD ready ( 1680x1050)

"FULL HD" ( 1920x1200)

4K ( 3840x2160)

and you left out the 2 most popular resolutions today, 1080P and 1440P. What? Why?
What about 720P, which a lot of budget gamers will downscale to?
Who still uses 1680X1050? They would have to have bought their monitor like 5+ years ago. 1080P is by far the most popular resolution. Very few 1200P monitors get sold. A lot of 1440P monitors get sold but not as many as 1080P.

Well. This is how I've seen it.

Next time, I will try to include more resolutions.

 

[EarthDog]

It would be beneficial to more people if you use the most common resolutions.

THat said, with all the advice we have given you to correct your initial builds, you should at least thank OCF and put links to it in your videos...
