On high setting at 4k I am getting 75+ average and ultra getting 67+ average. On 1440p getting getting 130 Fps+. Played 2 hrs no stutter at all. Far better than any Sony port and even better than god of War.
This game so gpu bound that it takes my gpu to 420 watt plus.
Yep. This among the best performing Sony ports, up there with God of War, Spider Man and (so I hear) Days Gone. HZD is now great too. Its the exception that launched poorly.
Alex's criticisms are valid too. ND's engine or these two games in particular have poor scalibility (PS5 versions also are barely an upgrade). The higher settings aren't adding much to the experience.
The game's "upgrades" over PS4 are so minimal even Alex can't pin down what settings PS5 is using across the board. There is barely any difference between HIGH or ULTRA. Especially in textures which only changes the amount that is cached, not the quality.
I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.
Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.
Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.
PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.
About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
