For comparison: (Windows 7 - DX 11) I play at 1080p, everything on low and I have 70-80 fps if nothing is happening, around 60 fps in fights and dips to 55 fps in very heavy fights (4+ people shooting in close proximity). Note that it's on fresh Windows 7 install, without antivirus and many other CPU resource hogging services disabled. Quake champions linux. The fast, skill-based arena-style competition that turned the original Quake games into multiplayer legends is making a triumphant return with Quake Champions.

Face it, you can't play game and have Linux at the same time. I hate Windows 10 and I don't know what am I going to do when they stop supporting Windows 7, but Linux is not an option if I want to keep playing games. Quake live had a linux port before the steam release. Yes, I know that. But it does not anymore, and that makes Quake IV the last Quake to have an official linux port. The fact that id Software didn't even bother with Quake Live after Steam transition, even though it already had had a linux port, also says a lot.

Meet the Bertucci DX3 Field watch, a basic companion with a single outdoor aspiration – keeping accurate time.Does your watch have a compass? How about a thermometer, or maybe a GPS uplink? Yeah, neither does mine. Or, at least, this one doesn’t. Bertucci DX3 Field ReviewKnowing your gear is an important part of stepping out into the wilderness.

The basic model DX3  has a 40-mm fiber-reinforced poly-resin case. At 1.5 ounces, it feels relatively light on the wrist.Inside sits an “all-metal” Japanese quartz movement, featuring three-year battery life.

Additional steel can be found on the crown, case back, and the hardware attached to the 22-mm canvas band.Rounding out the package is a hardened mineral crystal, beneath which they’ve included 24-hour markings and “Swiss super luminous” hands.: What You GetAbove all, a watch should tell and keep good time. In this respect, the Field performs admirably.

It gained less than two seconds over its weeks of testing, which is good for a watch in this price range. A good thing, too, since setting it can be a little finicky. Pressing the crown back into place sometimes bumps the minute hand a fraction of a millimeter, moving it away from the desired marker. Folks who obsess about these sorts of details (like me) may find some frustration here.Let’s talk about the band. Normally, I advocate for rubber or NATO straps on my field watches.

This usually involves a switch to an aftermarket option. Not so with the DX3. Bertucci cuts out the middleman, shipping their watches with thick, canvas straps. It’s a little stiff at first, and there may be a gnarly spot or two you’ll need to file down, but my stock band wore in nicely after only a day or two of wear.Should you decide to make the swap, the DX3 makes it rather simple. Since the entire case is molded from a single piece of resin, there are no spring bars to speak of. Simply pull the strap through and slip a new one into its place. Another plus with the Field is its water resistance.

While you won’t be seeing the same 200-meter capability found on a stainless steel diver, Bertucci’s resin case is good for 50 meters. This is plenty for showering or light swimming, but I wouldn’t recommend prolonged submersion. While obviously you won’t be hitting 50 meters deep in casual swimming, it’s a lower pressure threshold and is more likely to leak than those rated to deeper depths. What You Don’t Get With the Bertucci DX3First and foremost, I miss having a date window. This was apparent after only a few hours of wear.

There have been several instances in which I’ve needed to pull out my phone to determine the correct day of the month. If I’m going to do that anyway, what’s the point of having the time on my wrist? Bertucci offers a date window on several of their pricier models, and, if I had it to do again, I’d spend the extra cash.Then there’s the lume. For those not familiar with the term, “lume” is short for “luminous compound,” a substance applied to the hands and dial of a watch. This stuff absorbs light during the day, allowing it to glow in the dark.

A quick glance at the Field’s face proclaims this to be a “Swiss super luminous” watch. This is a bit of an exaggeration. True, it does emit a decent enough glow, but it fades after a relatively short amount of time. It’ll probably work for you in the darkness of your tent, but it’ll be a struggle in all but the dimmest lighting. Bertucci DX3 Compared to CompetitionThe field watch arena is a competitive place. Heck, just look at Bertucci’s, with its multiple incarnations of the DX3.

But how does it stack up against some of the other available all-stars? Take a look at the photo below. The Bertucci DX3, at left, versus the Citizen BM8180That, my friends, is a ($90). It’s my go-to recommendation in the realm of sub-$100 field watches.

It’s got solar power, a day/date window, and 100 meters of water resistance packed into a stainless steel case. The Bertucci bests it on two fronts – the band and the price. This model generally retails for about $30 more than the basic DX3. The Seiko SNK809Then there’s the ($69), a watch that’s been embraced by hipsters everywhere. It’s one of the cheapest mechanical timepieces you can buy, with an attractive design retailing for slightly more than the Bertucci. But where the DX3’s quartz setup keeps excellent time, my SNK809 lost an average of 30 seconds per day. That’s even more disappointing than its water resistance, which, depending on who you believe, is as low as 30 meters.

Don’t be fooled by the cool kids: This Seiko is a relic from a much darker time in watchmaking. The VerdictSo, where do I land on the DX3 Field? Somewhere in the middle.

If you’re looking for a basic, no-frills field watch, this is a perfectly viable choice. It keeps excellent time and rides effortlessly on your wrist. I like the look, though I’d advocate for the step up to stainless steel. It’s a more polished offering than most similarly priced Timex offerings, though maybe not as bombproof as ($60) or a low-end G-Shock.But so much of watch buying comes down to taste.

If you like what you see here, then I wholeheartedly recommend the. It’s a solid watch from an interesting brand, outclassing most of what you’ll find at your local big-box retailer. With the scope of, you’re sure to find something compelling.
