Benchmark status

Not yet measured. Bottleneck Verdict adds a game to the calculator when published review benchmarks cover both sides at the game's highest settings, native resolution, no upscaling — the same bar the measured games met. Until then this page claims no performance figures for EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 4.1 The Shadow of New Despair.
