Silent Hill 2 Remake - AMD RX 6700 XT Benchmark

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

As mentioned in the video, the town area is even worse. I only recorded in this specific spot as I didnt want to risk going over my 2 hour refund window, and I already did a video in this spot. I refunded the game with 10 minutes to spare!

[@justfun5479]

Nice trick 🧠

[@philgoesstreaming8274]

I agree

[@FATBOY_.]

LOL

[@justfun5479]

6700xt still keeping up with the big boys 💪

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

Yeah 100%. Dropping shadows to low really increases the performance a lot, and you can still get a decent gaming experience at 1440p here. Bar the stuttering issues of course :(

[@VoidyWay]

@@Mostly_Positive_Reviews is the stuttering an AMD issue or a game issue?

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

@@VoidyWay It stutters on all systems, so not AMD specific. Though the performance on AMD GPUs are lower than what it should be for some reason. Not sure if it is driver or game related.

[@VoidyWay]

@@Mostly_Positive_Reviews it will probably increase a little bit. but the problem is AMD only release 1 driver a month!

[@s9209122222]

This game is basically unplayable without hardware ray tracing on PC, some areas is dark as hell with software Lumen.

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

Interesting. I never got that far as I refunded the game before I reached my 2 hour limit due to the constant stuttering. It's really a shame then.

[@denverm7909]

@@Mostly_Positive_Reviews for real this game stutter as hell

[@bahlahkayy]

Man... And I just bought an RX 6700 XT. I was not expecting this game to be so graphically demanding. Hopefully they come out with a patch that optimizes the game for other graphics cards soon. You shouldn't need the absolute best graphics card to play a game if you ask me

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

100% agree with you! I'm sure performance will improve. Until then you can experience your awesome new GPU in games that arent running as poorly as this one ;)

[@bahlahkayy]

@@Mostly_Positive_Reviews That's very true, thank you. I really hope they fix this game up. As much as I love PC gaming, I do find it pretty frustrating how most modern games have optimization issues. At this point you may as well play some of these games on a console.

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

@@bahlahkayy I have been having the exact same feelings lately towards PC gaming. I love it, and I love hardware, but boy can it ever be frustrating 🤣

[@ariaSincere]

@@bahlahkayy Congratulations, you bought a very good graphic, just make sure to set the shader quality option to low, the problem is more than the low shading cores of AMD graphics.

[@UndyingGhost]

You should do a benchmark in he city. It basically never go back to the forest arena entire game.

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

Yeah indeed, I do mention that it is even heavier in town, but I have refunded for now. The only reason why I tested here again is because I already have video in this area. Didnt want to risk going to town and then go over my 2 hours before I could refund. I refunded it on 110 minutes 🤣

[@Torso6131]

Does the game have UE5's TSR? In my experience, it usually ends up looking better than FSR, but slightly more performant than XeSS. Shame about the traversal stutter though. I think I'll wait a little bit on this to see if it gets patched.

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

It does have TSR yeah, but you can only select High or Low when this is enabled with no explanation of what the differences are. You cant set the render resolution scale unfortunately.

[@Torso6131]

@@Mostly_Positive_Reviews That's so silly. Oh well, thank you for checking!

[@Jakiyyyyy]

In the town is way more intensive. The VRAM usage go up like crazy. And GPU power utilization went to hill basically. 6GB is basically dead by now. I noticed that Medium and Low settings are broken in this game, they are more intensive than High or even Epic in this game. I really don't recommend Low or Medium. 🥲

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

Yeah, the town area is indeed even more demanding, I mention that. Just overall a complete technical mess.

[@Profetorum]

uhm...the performance regression while using fsr is very weird, I wasn't facing it with my 6800xt 🤔 also you're still GPU bound while upscaling, so it doesn't really make much sense. Are you sure the engine.ini file was stock and you weren't using frame generation?

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

Yeah, I have no idea what's causing that. Other people also said CPU bottleneck but it happens at 1440p and 4K too, so it's definitely not CPU bound. Very strange. Yeah, this is a brand new clean installation on this system. Havent touched anything and I am using a capture card on a 2nd PC for all my recordings, so it's also not due to screen recording software. I dont know, tried a few things offline but it's the same. Only thing I didnt check was to disable Anti-Lag. WIll do so in the morning.

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

I saw Krizp's video and in his video with lower end GPUs FSR also sometimes performs worse. I am inclined to think it's a game bug / issue. In the one scene I put both configs next to each other and he went from 62 fps to 57 fps by enabling FSR 3 Quality on a 2060. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ol7ElIqcoZxkq8U

[@Profetorum]

@@Mostly_Positive_Reviews I mean I use antilag myself so it shouldn't be the culprit. Not sure honestly. Edit: just checked the vid you linked, I had no clue. Must be an issue with the fsr implementation then I guess...another issue 🫣 Anyway a couple of things I noticed trying settings myself: 1) shadows on low actually removes some shadows , hence why I try to keep it on medium (for example, in the opening scene check shadows from poles) 2) I think xess works better than fsr, even though it has a weird ghosting around the main character in some instances

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

Yeah, there are definitely some shadows that disappear. It might impact the experience, depending on how sensitive you are to these things. I tried XeSS and the visuals look better, but the ghosting is worse for some reason. When the framerate is low enough, at around 30 fps or so I see myself like 6 times when turning haha! This game shouldve stayed a bit longer in the oven is my thinking.

[@TDIFLY]

watching that frametime graph, its like eating a sandwich with a lil bit of cement on 🤣

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Jakiyyyyy]

You mean semen? 😏👉👉

[@TDIFLY]

@@Jakiyyyyy what kind of diet are you on ? 😲

[@DarkDragonsam]

I have a rx 6700xt, ryzen 7 5800x, 16gb ram and for playing at 60fps without suffering fps fallings, I have to put the presets in low... Ah and the resolution scability it's in 100%

[@dbunik44]

ytthis is why I wait a few months before I buy a game, they call it stutter hill for a reason, reminds me of Alan Wake 2, many driver updates to be compatible with AMD

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

100%. Refunded the game, will probably buy again in a few months on sale or something. Hopefully it's fixed by then.

[@UT_Alx]

so 3060 ti with ray tracing here might be playable?

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

What resolution do you use again? 1080p? It should be perfectly fine at that resolution with DLSS Quality pethaps.

[@UT_Alx]

@@Mostly_Positive_Reviews for this one I was thinking 1080p yeah, wouldn't dlss quality like kinda ruin the image quality? Not sure how bad or good dlss looks at 1080p

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

@@UT_Alx It actually doesnt look too bad in this game. So try it without DLSS first, but the town areas are quite a bit more demanding and I suspect you'd need DLSS there.

[@ariaSincere]

Thanks for the video, why rx 6700 xt is much weaker than rtx 3060 ti and rtx 4060, this problem can be solved by updating the driver؟

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

Not sure, but there have been other benchmarks showing AMD underperforming heavily in this game for some reason. Not sure if it's driver related or game related.

[@purnenduray1130]

@ariaSincere ithink its this game only bc most PS games like God of war and ghost of tsusima runs way better on rx6700xt than on a 3060 ti . But few games where there's some kind of RT is always enabled (like Alan wake and Avatar now this one) they runs better on Rtx3060 ti
