The new shooter of the popular Quake series has entered the beta testing stage and at the moment almost everyone can get their own beta key. Previously, many questions were asked about what the price will be and how it will be possible to buy it? It has already become known that the game will be distributed according to the free 2 play model. Let's take a closer look at some questions about Quake champions beta:
How to get a Quake Champions beta key?
Now this question is of great interest to many, and there are several answers to it:
The first option, perhaps, will be the distribution of the key to various gaming giants, who periodically hold them on their websites, broadcasts, and so on. At the moment, this is not the most logical way to get it, and further you will understand why.
Although Bethesda says that Quake is in closed beta, now everyone can get an activation code. Just go to the official website of the game and in the upper right corner click on the "Sign up for a beta test" button. After entering the mail, accepting their public offer and agreeing that you are already 18 years old, a window will appear on the screen in which the key will be written. And yes, it is absolutely free and happens instantly.
How to activate the received key?
After completing the steps above, you will need to register on the official Kwaki website. There you download the developers' launcher, where you go through authorization using the account you just received.
Immediately after that, you must click on the square in the upper left corner. In the drop-down list, the “Activate Code” button will instantly catch your eye, after clicking which you will be transferred to the site, where, in fact, you will need to enter it.
How to install Quake Champions if you got the key?
This operation is the same as in any other launcher for downloading the game. Got a key? Did you activate it? Next, in the window of the selected game, you will see the "install game" button. Having chosen the path where Quake Champions will be installed, the download will begin and all that remains is to wait until everything is completed.
Video cards were tested at resolutions of 1920x1080, 2560x1600 and 3840x2160 at maximum graphics quality settings (the default maximum for the game). SLI and AMD CrossFireX is not yet supported by the game.

Testing of the video memory consumed by the game was carried out by the MSI Afterburner program. The results on top video cards from AMD and NVIDIA were taken as the indicator at resolutions of 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 with various anti-aliasing settings.
Testing at maximum memory GPU quality settings
We tested processor dependence on 16 models of basic configurations that are relevant today. The test was carried out in those places where the value of the video card for the game is minimal and its load was less than 99%, this time at a resolution of 1920x1080.
Testing at maximum quality settings 1920x1080
The performance of the processors in the game is currently at a decent level.
Quake Champions Beta uses up to 16 computing threads.

The test was conducted on the base configuration Core i 7 5960X @ 4.6 GHz with the amount of pre-installed memory 32 GB DDR4 2400 MGz. All used RAM was taken as an indicator. Test random access memory on the entire system was carried out on various test benches without running extraneous applications (browsers, etc.).
Testing the game's RAM consumption at various quality settings
As we can see, at various quality settings, the amount of RAM consumed in Quake Champions Beta was in the range of 5000-6000 megabytes.
Testing system RAM consumption
With an 8 GB system, Quake Champions Beta consumed 8 GB of RAM (impossible to play with that amount). In the presence of a system with 12 gigabytes, the RAM consumption of all RAM was 9 gigabytes. With a 16 GB system, total memory consumption was almost 9.5 GB. And with 32 gigabytes of RAM, the system consumes 10 gigabytes of RAM.
Year of issue: under development, scheduled for 2017
genre: Action (Shooter) / 3D / 1st Person
Developer: id Software
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Quake Champions is a fast-paced online shooter where players take part in arena battles. In the game you will find unique characters, each with their own unique abilities.
In this subsection of our review, the main graphical aspects of this game are revealed. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, the graphics settings and the quality of the development of the main visual aspects.
Quake Champions Beta is supported on Windows 7/8 and Windows 10.
The priority and main graphics API for Quake Champions Beta is DirectX 11 .
Id Software has always made games on its own engines, written by John Carmack. There was an interesting situation with Quake Champions in this regard: it turned out that the powerful multi-platform engine id Tech 6, on which Doom worked, is not suitable for the new Quake.
The developers focus exclusively on the PC platform, dismissing even the theoretical version of the release on consoles, and the mobility of the characters and the lightning speed of the gameplay are very important for the project.
After a series of experiments, id Software and Saber realized that Saber's technology, Saber Tech, was better suited for rendering and certain graphics operations. The developers decided to combine their engines into an ingenious alloy.
So what we end up with is a pretty interesting concept that combines great performance with cutting-edge graphics. The graphics API for the game now uses DirectX 11 instead of OpenGL.
Quake Champions Beta has a very wide range of graphics settings in its arsenal.
Below we have provided screenshots of the game at various graphics settings, where our readers can see the difference between the minimum and maximum graphics quality settings.
The difference between the settings is visible on closer inspection, mainly the quality of textures and tessellation.
The graphics in Quake Champions Beta look at quite a decent level - the quality of execution, detailing and effects look very modern and cheerful. Some physics of destruction is also present, which is good news.

Forgot what dizziness is from many hours of playing in? Hurry up, get your railguns and rocket launchers, sign up for closed testing, which starts in a couple of weeks.
There was not much news about the upcoming reincarnation of the once mega-hit network shooter, which eventually turned into a legendary universe, and for some players even the meaning of life.
In honor of the next testing, the developers share information about weapons and arenas, as well as present a new gameplay trailer.
If you are worried about the locations and surroundings of the game, then in vain, game maps promise to be one of the best in the history of game development. The Blood Covenant Arena consists of three huge levels - Bridge, Balcony and Catacombs. In each area, it makes sense to use different tactics and weapons - to ambush or impose a flank battle. The authors promise a lot of gameplay features.
The Ruins of Sarnath arena is an open ruined location overgrown with grass and dust. Random weapons appear in local corners - nail guns, lightning guns, railguns, shotguns and various types of armor. In total, the map has 8 game zones and levels, in each of which players will find a surprise, for example, a super shotgun. At the lowest level is the Foundation of the Ziggurat - a terrible and huge eye, pulled together by hoops and chains.
Weapons in the game will also not be common, some types have outstanding characteristics. A heavy machine gun differs from a regular machine gun in its higher rate of fire and increased damage, without requiring special accuracy. The super shotgun is good for finishing off the enemy. A point-blank shot will crush the enemy's armor and bones, but this weapon is not suitable for long-range combat. For each arena, weapons will have a different value.
Finally, about the favorite weapons of the players - the railgun and the rocket launcher. The rocket launcher has little in common with similar weapons in other games. Here, not only the possession of a rocket launcher is valued, but also the ability to use it. Some gurus at the peak of the game's popularity could jump on rockets, taking out the entire enemy team, and alone. IN new game the rocket launcher will have the same legendary characteristics.
The railgun is a kind of sniper rifle that allows you to control important points, such as armor and weapon spawn zones. The accuracy and power of the railgun will leave no chance for an inaccurate player, but you will have to pay for it with an infinitely long reload. In team fights, careful distribution of weapons among your party members will give you a huge boost against a chaotic and stupid enemy team.
Closed testing starts in March 2017 of the year, exact date not yet. Owners of modern computers are promised great picture no frame limits. In the future, the game will be held all sorts of tournaments and championships.
