God of War PC - [6800XT] AMD claims 57fps at 4K with FSR enabled
- Thread starter Stacey
- Start date
It won't be, but remember this game was built on a completely custom engine made for a single piece of hardware (with Pro features, too, sure) so there will surely be some performance lost in the transition to another platform.
better shadows and ao, nvidia reflx support.
but i mean, their engine is custom built for ps4 so not surprising if it isn't super optimized.
This won't mean much until we know what hardware is needed to match PS4 Pro quality settings at the same resolution. You can make settings as heavy as you want at 'ultra', doesn't mean it should be the target too.
Not trying to be rude here. But are we supposed to be impressed? If anything 57 fps at 4K is kinda meh... specially on PC.
And what CPU they're using here. Can kind of determine a lot in regards to FPS.
why would they advertise their fsr gains with a cpu limited measurement
What a weird advert.
"57FPS" such an odd number
"FSR not enabled in displayed footage"
And FSR 4K is basically, not 4K (reconstructed or otherwise). I wish AMD would stop talking it up as if it's a reconstruction technique cause then people start talking about it as well in that manner and it spreads misinformation.

From my experience fsr is a better performer than dlss, both at ultra preset of course.

The image is a compressed native image, it's the performance that's the issue
It says on the picture that the image does not show FSR in use. So the picture is actually completely irrelevant.
I guess the one concern to take away from this when we don't have any other data or metrics to go on is that this card is the recommended spec for 4k/60fps. If it isn't matching that at a lower resolution (due to FSR enabled), this is a problem. Though even then we don't know the CPU used here.
As is always the case with stuff like this, be considerate of engine optimisation and settings running at "ultra" or whatever and what that actually means in the rendering engine. Superficial numbers and values without context don't give us an accurate read of actual performance.
So, for example, while I think many of us are under the impression that God of War's PC enhancements aren't particularly incredible (at least on paper), and it's a generation old game at this point, and so should be scalable up to 4K pretty easily on cutting edge hardware, we don't know how well the engine handles said PC enhancements or how they're scaled. EG: adding in higher quality ambient occlusions that are scalable up to an "ultra" setting well past reasonable performance vs. image quality returns could very easily mangle the framerate. Hardware and engines are ideally built for optimised image quality and the impression of detail while intelligently scaling down, but sometimes "ultra" settings in games are well past a point of reasonable performance cost, with negligible image enhancements.
We'll have to wait and see.

This tells me nothing, no settings (other than 4k FSR which I personally won't touch) and FSR is not worth it either way.
I understand they want to hype it up but people are now more confused than before and people arguing like this is proof of anything of substance.
I don't even count the release without the day 1 patch (and nvidia driver) honestly, so much can change before you even try the game.
Obviously not day 1 state of Horizon but the game especially with the latest DLSS featuring patch is phenomenal. I have a feeling that Sony will do a good job with GoW, maybe a few first weeks of medium to small trouble but if they learned anything from their releases before it will work out well (and from the looks of it it's very likely they have).

Better SSR reflections as well.
This all scales up with resolution so even with FSR Ultra quality the rendering resolution is significantly higher than PS4/Pro.
from what I've seen, FSR Ultra Quality and DLSS Quality produce comparable framerates. though DLSS Quality is doing it from a lower resolution
it's worth mentioning that the spec sheet says the game was running on DX11. Perhaps on DX12 it can have better results?

and the video if you're interested in seeing it yourself. skip to 1:15 for GoW.

Not that surprising given that the PS5 runs this at 4K CBR 60 fps and while CBR isn't exactly like rendering half of the res I doubt CBR itself is very costly.
Well, those are just presets. I've seen games where "Performance" DLSS looks better than "Ultra" FSR so you can get away with a much lower preset for DLSS.
AMD didn't say this number represents avg framerate.
The game supports DLSS, I don't think you have to worry.
After watching extensive amount of footage comparing both on the same games, the performance seems to be somewhat similar, but DLSS gives better IQ.
I don't understand people's obsession with always using Ultra settings. A number of settings offer almost 0 improvement and tank frame rates. If I decide to replay the game on PC, I'll use DLSS Quality mode plus turn down shadows and volumetric lighting to very high or whatever instead of ultra.
Personally, it's choice paralysis. I find it hard to decide which settings are worth dropping for the performance gains. This is why guides like digital foundry's optimised settings so useful.
