3D Graphics Test Changes from V7 - V8.1?

[Darren]

Hi,

We were using BIT v7.1 however have recently changed over to v8.1 for better skylake and Win 10 support.

We have noticed that the average FPS of the 3D test is half of what it was on v7.1 which isn't that much of a problem but also the temperatures of the GPU's are reporting as double what we have on the same test on v7.1.

Is there a reason for this? Has the 3D test changed between versions? (The video looks similar and is the exact same size as before).

Thanks,

Darren

In V8 there is higher GPU load through higher resolution textures and 3D objects.
