[4K] Devil May Cry 5 PC Tech Analysis + Xbox One X Comparison: Everything You Need to Know!

Alex returns with deep-dive of Devil May Cry 5's PC settings, complete with comparison to the X console version. All told, this is a remarkable conversion with a similar pay-off in frame-rate, to other RE Engine titles like Resident Evil 2 Remake.

Nice video from Alex, as always. I just got the game and finished and i hoped I'll find answers my issues. Got a 10100F, 1650 SUPER, 16 GB RAM config the game runs smooth at maxed settings. Except some cut-scene, but if I not stare the counter mostly never notice this, plus no crash or any issues. So, my issue is the AA or rendering issue. Like hair, grass or anything similar. Looks insanely pixelated and feels lack of any AA! Also certain AA(?) or shadows effect felt ...dithering effect. Similar to Halo CEA AO. Also DOF in cut-scenes is insanely pixelated! But many users said this on steam forums, so is "OK"

My results, pretty decent performance on a GTX 960 with i5-6600 (55~70 FPS). The DRM-less version of the game gave me a increase in 15~20 FRAMES PER SECOND (75~85 FPS), I was blown away by the performance increase. The game does crash quite a lot tho as you said, it's quite frustrating, some missions crashed on me over 6 times. I even tried to use the 391 Nvidia Driver, some people managed to fix the issue with it, I wasn't so lucky tho.

It is using any setting between Low and Ultra. Impossible to tell, just that it is not "minimum". I often do not include it, because my focus is not about nailing every single setting for the purpose of pure comparison so we know what is happening on x1x. Rather to build a guide for settings for PC users. Texture settings are not about performance usually, rather, just about VRAM amount which is diff from card to card and hard to really quantify.

There is no ultrawide support in this game, even though in basically any 3D game it would be incredibly to easy to implement it because all you need to do as a developer is to make sure that the HUD automatically scales correctly to the sides of the screen and the FOV automatically adjusts to the given resolution. Something like this literally would take only MINUTES of programming from the devs. Yet, the devs of Capcom didn't give a flying fuck about implementing arbitrary resolution and aspect ratio support (so not just 21:9, but 30:9, 32:9, etc. as well), even though they worked YEARS on this game. This shows how extremely lazy the developers were and this also shows that they do not understand and value the PC platform at all. JackFuste (wsgf user) already made an ultrawide fix, so at least people can play it in 21:9 now but he can't fix the HUD fully because obviously he doesn't have access to the game files the way the developers have. Shame on you Capcom, shame on you developers. Your laziness is pathetic. I bought RE2 because it was a great game and also a great PC version with proper ultrawide support, but there's no way I'm going to buy this lazy port.

1K gets you a PC that beats every single console out there. Yes, it's more expensive, but PC gamers pay a lot less for games. Our sales are better, more frequent, and we get dozens of bundles for dirt cheap. We don't lose our entire library upon moving to the next generation, and we don't have to rely on remasters. Consoles have only one advantage and that's exclusives. PCs have become much simpler, and consoles much more complicated, not even the convenience argument is that strong anymore. Console gamers exaggerate prices because they literally have no idea what they're talking about. They only know console stuff. PC gamers tend to know both. Many of us own consoles for their exclusives, in case you didn't know.

@@Keyecomposer lol idk about per object motion blur you mean stuff from the environment? But for DMC5 especially motion blur would be terrible in my opinion. For me Clarity is the most important factor in action games like these if they a bunch of blur as soon as you move the camera going to be annoying and unnecessary. Honestly idk how half this shit works but for me sounds like a bad idea, however i do understand why its in cutscenes.

[@Keyecomposer]

@@Dylankiwi1 Per object motion blur is blur for any object that moving as opposed to motion blue that just applied to the entire screen, it's only an improvement.

[@Dylankiwi1]

@@Keyecomposer kay if u say so if its an improvement i see why no have it for an option for people who really want it.

[@SnizelOfficial]

Oh no, motion blur is off while in gameplay! -Said no one ever.

[@steveballmersbaldspot2.095]

Looks like the console versions are holding the PC version back. Hopefully Capcom can address this either in a future patch, or the community via a mod.

[@denisn8336]

meh still looks good lol

[@letsgoiowa]

It would be much better to test with, say, a 2200G, an RX 580, and then a super ultra top of the line GPU like a 2080 Ti. Scalability per setting varies DRASTICALLY per GPU. Truly good ports can scale exceptionally well. How does it perform on a 2200G, for example? Can you get it to locked 60 FPS? Now THAT would be interesting.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

HDR??

[@Darkholow]

RE engine is a beast...it's insane how well it scales. I hope all games that Capcom makes (SFVI included) uses this engine from here on out. I managed to run this all maxed on Ultra with 130% render scaling (from 1080p) on an i5 2500k @ 4.2Ghz, GTX 980 4GB and 16 gigs of ram.

[@Derpington95]

Regarding the frame limiter and audio sync issues: I had that in RE7 but it was the opposite. If I used the ingame 60 fps lock and my PC dropped frames the audio got out of sync. So I just left it on variable and used RTSS to lock it to 60. Also I didn't experience any crashes here unlike in RE2 where I get the visual glitch at the laptop video.

[@TBirdSoars]

Keeps crashing with the error code 0x887a0006 in Mission 2... :(

[@TheGunFreak94]

DOesnt matter if it has a performance increase, its the principle. Using the DRM-less EXE. And will gladly share it with whoever wants it

[@Valkyrslayer]

Am I the only who is experiencing really low res looking depths of field in cutscenes? I compared it to the scenes on console and there the DOF looks better and cleaner. Could this be a driver bug?

[@zodiacfml]

6:30 they did that as Nvidia performs better with DX11 while AMD at DX12

[@dictaviosz9732]

So Billy idol is a nephilim after all

[@sammyflinders]

I have a 1080Ti, which allows me to push all the sliders to max and enjoy silky smooth performance at 1440p...good times.

[@markxv2267]

Damn Xbox One X is soooo good !

[@maximeschiltz760]

2160i...not 2160P...wow...so goood...

[@maxsettingsnocompromisesga2834]

My 1080ti was at 99 percent usage and my cpu was at 14 percent 8700k

[@OrkDiktator]

Great looking game. Especially on mid-range to high-end PCs. But the XBox One X Version is impressive for that weak jaguar-based mobile CPU and only 6 TF GPU in a €400 box. I hope for XBox Scarlet and PS5 to enable much more CPU demanding games, better AI and more complex game mechanics and geometry in multiplat titles. PC gaming will benefit a lot from… especially in AAA multiplat titles.

[@CaveyMoth]

HMM. 6Gb of VRAM being utilized, even with minimum texture quality settings enabled? Hey, nVidia, can we have more VRAM, pl0x?

[@MT_Real_]

I was talking about 6gb VRAM is not enough, and someone said i don't know anything about PC ( i'm using PC since 2003). New console generation and 6gb VRAM won't be enough for PC.

[@asteria9963]

@@MT_Real_ The game plays just fine on High settings with only 3GB. Just saying...

[@dmgreduction]

Memory allocation doesn't equal memory utilization. A lot of new games will allocate all available graphics memory it can for the game.

[@Greez1337]

Playing the game at 1080p on a 1060 6gb and 2600X, I've had minor performance dips on crazy alpha effect rich scenes at almost max. So maybe it's not great at higher resolutions, but that should be expected as most 6GB cards and under do any resolutions upwards of 1080 kinda crappily on decent settings.

[@CaveyMoth]

Oh, it's allocated. But at least it's still being used in some way, reducing stuttering and pop-in.

[@ndrinks5550]

Brilliant work including the drm-free .exe in the analysis! I was tempted to look for it but don't think I'll bother now.

[@wile123456]

motionblur in gameplay here sucks since it looks much sharper at high refresh rates without it

[@MrChomiq]

Honestly, that RE Engine is a thing of its own. If only they would optimize the DX12 mode...

[@Xenthorx]

Love the content , but music was a bit too loud here, was harder to concentrate on the voice

[@alexanderbattaglia6048]

Oh no! Sorry abou that, I was failing a bit with that when editing because I just wanted to listen to the music the entire time! :X Noted!

[@vergeofapathy]

The audio desync in cutscenes can also happen when using the in-game FPS limiter and never even dropping below 60. Sometimes the sound just starts playing before all the other data for the cutscene is loaded.

[@tchitchouan]

Review DOA 6 goddamnit

[@tchitchouan]

chrnodroid absolutely agree I've been screaming for them to analyse DOA and the soft engine 3.0 for over 2 weeks now. My best they hate the boobs and sexy giggle physics... Typical gaming media

[@Jugghead]

Another great break down!!!

[@suto9233]

Are there any side effects from changing the config from DX11 to 12?

[@mayankrawat5770]

Best optimized pc release after DOOM 2016 getting AVG 80-90 FPS on my RX 480 (MAX SETTINGS) 😍

[@gabrielst527]

if this had Vulkan (like doom) instead of the negative performing (it performs less than dx 11 lol) Dx12 it may compete with it, sad they didn't implement it. We need to ask for Vulkan instead of DX12 in future capcom games that use RE engine.
