The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered PC Performance Analysis

Sony has released The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered for PC, utilizing Naughty Dog’s proprietary engine. Performance analysis was conducted using an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and various graphics cards including AMD Radeon RX 6900XT, RX 7900XTX, RX 9070XT, and NVIDIA RTX 2080Ti, RTX 3080, RTX 4090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090 on a Windows 10 64-bit system. The game features customizable graphics settings and supports technologies like Intel XeSS, NVIDIA DLSS 3, and AMD FSR 3.1. Benchmark tests showed all GPUs maintained frame rates above 60FPS at 1080p and 1440p resolutions with Max Settings, with the NVIDIA RTX 2080Ti achieving 60FPS. The AMD Radeon RX 9070XT outperformed the RX 7900XTX, while the RX 6900XT lagged behind the NVIDIA RTX 3080. For 4K gaming at Max Settings, the AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX and NVIDIA RTX 4090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090 were necessary for 60FPS. The game requires a minimum of six CPU cores/threads for optimal performance, with dual-core and quad-core systems experiencing severe stuttering. An eight-core processor improved frame rates above 70FPS. The game features impressive pre-baked lighting but has some traversal stutters and asynchronous shader compilation that may affect performance on CPUs with fewer cores. Keyboard and mouse controls function well from the start.

Delta Force: Black Hawk Down PC Performance Analysis

TiMi Studio Group has released the Black Hawk Down campaign for Delta Force for free, utilizing Unreal Engine 5. Benchmarking was conducted on a setup with an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and various high-end GPUs. The game lacks a built-in benchmarking tool, so performance was assessed using an in-engine cutscene. Achieving over 60FPS at 1080p on Extreme Settings requires at least six CPU cores, but the game experiences significant stuttering and struggles to utilize more than eight CPU cores. At 1080p, high-end GPUs like the NVIDIA RTX 3080 and AMD Radeon RX 6900XT average over 65FPS, while the RTX 4090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090 face CPU bottlenecking. At 1440p, the AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX is the minimum requirement for over 60FPS. At Native 4K with Extreme Settings, only the NVIDIA RTX 5090 can consistently maintain 60FPS. The game also features Ultimate Settings, which push the RTX 5090 to its limits, yielding lower framerates. Players may encounter stuttering and texture streaming issues, and the campaign is designed as a Co-Op Online Campaign, lacking difficulty adjustments for solo play and checkpoints. The game showcases impressive graphics but suffers from performance challenges and inefficient CPU usage.

Monster Hunter Wilds brings hope with newly lowered PC requirements, then dashes it with a benchmark tool

Capcom announced the PC system requirements for Monster Hunter Wilds, set to launch on February 28th, aiming for broader accessibility with lower specifications. A standalone benchmark tool is available on Steam, allowing players to test performance. The storage requirement has decreased from 140GB to 75GB, and minimum CPU and GPU requirements have been lowered, such as changing the Nvidia GPU from GTX 1660 Super to GTX 1660 and the Intel CPU from i5-10600 to i5-10400. However, the revised minimum specs only guarantee 1080p performance with upscaling and frame generation technologies. Testing with a GTX 1060 and Core i9-13900K showed disappointing results, averaging 26fps at 1080p with low settings, improving to 45fps with frame generation but suffering from input lag. The Steam Deck also performed poorly, averaging 27fps. In contrast, newer graphics cards like the RTX 4060 achieved 62fps at 1080p with high settings, reaching 98fps with frame generation. The RTX 5080 delivered 72fps at 4K with maximum settings, hitting 110fps with frame generation. Further testing will be needed to assess stable frame rates without relying on frame generation.

Monster Hunter Wilds brings hope with newly lowered PC requirements, then dashes it with a benchmark tool

Capcom announced the PC system requirements for Monster Hunter Wilds, reducing the required SSD space from 140GB to 75GB. A standalone benchmark tool is available on the game's Steam page, revealing that lower-end PCs may struggle to deliver a smooth gaming experience. The minimum specs have changed, with the GTX 1660 replacing the GTX 1660 Super and the Intel Core i5-10400 replacing the i5-10600, but players may be limited to 1080p resolution with upscaling and frame generation. Benchmark testing showed that a GTX 1060 with a Core i9-13900K averaged 26fps at 1080p on the lowest settings, improving to 45fps with frame generation but feeling sluggish. The GTX 1660's performance is only slightly better than the GTX 1060, and the Steam Deck averaged 27fps under similar conditions. In contrast, the RTX 4060 achieved 62fps at 1080p with high settings and ray tracing, reaching 98fps with frame generation. The RTX 5080 performed well at 4K, hitting 72fps with maximum settings and 110fps with frame generation. Further testing is needed to determine stable frame rates at 1080p without heavy reliance on frame generation.
