Better on PC, provided you have orders of magnitude better hardware. And even then... TLOU had a catastrophic launch, spider man still has problems to this day (distant textures not loading properly even on GPU with lots of VRAM, crashs with FSR FG, stuttering when RT very high is engaged...), horizon launch was catastrophic (shader comp issue, some effects where bugged, performance issue), now seem to be in a better place. Days gone was alright (even though it might have had a rocky launch, but I wouldn't know, since I got the game later), GoW was alright (even though I hear it initially had memory leak issues), ratchet's use of direct storage is busted, the game's performance is shaky especially with 8gb and lower VRAM, RT performance is scuffed as well. For Ghost of Tsushima I wouldn't know since I don't have it yet. Don't get me wrong these games are good, but ''even better on PC'' is quite the overstatement given their history. They have pushed for bleeding edge tech and have the nicest settings menu I've seen to date, but the performance and polish is really lackluster, all things considered.

*Ryzen 3000 + RTX4070* The 2nd game seems similar to the 1st game. In "God of War" I had "Ultra" (4K + DLSS Quality) except shadows were turned down one notch (made a big FPS difference). I set my max FPS to 90 and mostly stayed locked at 90FPS. To me, getting 90FPS is my goal because it looks super smooth on my GSync monitor. I'm kind of ruined for 60FPS and below frankly, mostly because the visuals seem to strobe/shimmer (don't know the word). Those issues go away at roughly 80FPS+

Great art direction trumps engine bells and whistles in my book. That said, it's nice to have both in a game that scales well while also pushing the limits of high end hardware.

[@gabber_]

I'm glad the game got the PC port it deserves. I would have liked to see if the Frame-rate limiter is compatible with FrameGen in a way that if you lock it to 60, FG will double it to 120 as long as the GPU is not 100% loaded. This is the proper way and only 3 games I know support it.

[@jipillow1]

You sir, are a proper nerd. I hope you take this as a compliment

[@arkerj]

Nice vid! And yes this game is very well optimized. However I hv a tips for guys who play this game. DLSS Q + FSR FG is great combo, clean & high fps (1080p, medium, I get 170 fps in a few scene lol) but I find it it make the game crash on 2 places. First, in the island near geyser at the lake. After I broke the floor and drop down I find the grim monster then game crash & forced close. Second, in the mine looking for Tyr. Getting out from a short cave, meet the grim monster, crash & forced close. I try to tweak my graphic settings then found then when I change my FG from FSR to DLSS then it'll be just fine. Other than this the game is smooth & such a nice experience in my 7 hrs playtime so far. My spec: Lenovo LOQ, i5 gen 13, RTX 4050 6GB, RAM 16 GB dual-channel DDR5. Play it on 1080p.

[@AlexHusTech]

*Love the real time changes when making setting changes*

[@Petch85]

3:05 I still prefer they show a scene where the specific setting makes a difference. Cause you might not be standing at a location where alle settings will make a difference. (Think particle, hair effects etc.) it would be even cooler if the test scene was animated to get an approximate FPS number. But that would take a long time i implement.

While heavily limiting graphical fidelity? I think not. I think there's a better balance. A 3060 should no longer be able to play anything new at Ultra, with respect to the owners.

[@Karn0010]

@@berkertaskiran First off where in my comment or in the video was it ever stated that the 3060 should be able to do that? What an arrogant statement, It isn't even 4 years old, it shouldn't need upscaling to play games at 1080p with decent settings. That through process is the exact reason why Nvidia, AMD, Intel think they can jack the prices up gen-on-gen with uplifts that aren't great. Not everything needs to push the limits like Crysis, that was special. Once everything is like that it isn't special, and it just becomes annoying to run even on more powerful hardware.

[@Yuenix]

So far I've had No issues playing this game with or without fsr3/dlss. theyve done such a great job on optimization and graphical details all packed into this game. this game looks so good with no fps drop or any other graphical issues like stutters/ shaders/ aliasing, regaurdless if you drop some graphics details or not. it'll be nice if more games were to be more well rendered like this game.

very good texture very good shadows(no ray needed as other dev said its important for good shadows) very good lights and models(also no ray need its all done without it and look like it ) gooooooooooooood performance from day 1

RT can significantly enhance the visuals quality of open world games with dynamic night and day cycle/weather system. GoW is a linear and static game, kind of old school one. No wonder it looks fine w/o any RT. It is technically last gen game, made for PS4 and slightly enhanced for PS5/PC. Sure, it is one of the best looking last generation games, thanks to the excellent art design, but still it does not push any technical boundaries, thus it runs so well. Same as AC Mirage, for example.

@@stangamer1151 iam 100% with u but if u look at RT forced games like avatar and Outlaw u can see its not always good (even the look not performance) so its option the games can be done with or without it good game must have 3 elements 1-story 2-gameplay 3-performance so not always the best graphics in the world can let me enjoy the game its called game bcz its game not movie cinematic i love all new tech its perfect but make the priority to the 3 elements not only graphics make the graphics as Bonus example when u see game like AC unity how perfect is shadows resolution are in very very old game without upscale or framgen or ray its realy up to dev if they care about us they will make the best thats is coming back believe me if the games is bad it will fail the gamers now know like wukong good story good gameplay little bit disappointed on performance but thats okay they made huge patches with some settings give u scalability so this what all need from now on good value only sorry for long comment 😊

It runs good. I get so much fps with my RX 7700 XT that i have to limit it

[@f.miller801]

I'm running at 4k DLSS Q at around 80 FPS at the first stage.

[@gamefandrg]

my 4070 super 4K ultra settings could only run like 40 fps some time, maybe need to lower the setting or using DLSS

[@ShiftyMoses]

this game has awful vram leaking on my 4070 ti , started 4k ultra around 60% vram and vkept 60fps, afetr an hour or so lost around 30fps an the vram was around 140%, only a full restart of the game fixed it but only for like 30 mins or so then the leak came back

[@TiGeRoof]

Sooo.. my old friend rtx 2060super can run this at 1080p high dlss quality at 60+ frame?

[@defeatankylosing]

This games performance looks calm and reasonable but is it calm and reasonable

[@amirafshar2580]

Great optimization

[@creviosso9216]

The game runs amazingly on steam deck, too
