Interesting usage of Tomb Raider 2 music, I like it! As a side note: I have noticed in many PC game analyses that there are frametime issues even when using vsync, in my personal experience using Rivatuner fixes most and almost all such issues in just about all games, maybe you guys could consider recommending people to make use of Rivatuner as it would enhance their experience and is not complicated to set up, it even helps with games that have borked vsync caps like many PC games do.
Yeah I've noticed that with many games and it's an easy fix with either Rivatuner or even the drivers locking the frame rate. The Steam Deck also does better on this because frame rates are locked at a system level which does a better job than many games do. But overall, the game looks like a solid port, not as enhanced as a few of the other latest Sony ports but solid enough and as for a few of the small issues, I'm sure they'll get fixed by patches.
Thank you for this video, and for all the work you did with the launch version vs review version. I always wait before buying a game like this for DF's review. To know if it's a good port, but mostly to see what they did right and being able to see stuff like that in my play through. So thank you 🙂
It's just a shame the Nathan Drake Collection isn't on PC. Uncharted 4 is an excellent game, but it serves as fan service.

Hardware Unboxed did their own recommendations (usually known as "HUB settings" on Reddit), but if I recall correctly at some point they stopped doing it because "games look the same at medium, high and ultra" or something like that.
@@ghost085 It’s a shame they stopped because it was better to see exactly how each settings effects the game graphics alongside how some settings can kill FPS while providing little to no graphical improvement.

This runs beautifully. I'm running a Ryzen 5 5600X and RX6650XT with just 16GB 3200, and I'm able to run 1440p Ultra settings native with minimum 65FPS up to over 110FPS.
Honestly. Have graphics really improvement that much in the last 6 years? Outside of a few games in Sony First Party, most sht from the beginning of last gen still holds up.
Requiem is putting my RX 6700 XT on knees! I run every game at 1440p high-ultra settings and never seen a game reach below 60 FPS mark. Although I'm enjoying the game a lot, its not really ideal when my FPS goes around 40 during some intense rats sections
Nice work again Alex. Besides the Iron Galaxy moderate showdown, I want to add some few things. Don't know how this gonna help but here it goes. I have tested this game on an i5 4590 (I always use this CPU to debunk the non-sense PR system requirements stunts), 1600 MHz D3 16GB, RX 6700XT & 550MB/s SSD. As you can immediately predict, there are a few places (NPC heavy especially) where the i5 4590 becomes the ultimate bottleneck (I am talking about average of 37 fps on those moments). But I played with the 6700XT on its GPU clock & fixed 2000 MHz VRAM frequency. Here is the chart for what I have found: 500 - 600 MHz >> 34 fps 600 - 700 MHz >> 40 fps 700 - 800 MHz >> 45 fps 800 - 900 MHz >> 51 fps 900 - 1000 MHz >> 56 fps 1000 - 1100 MHz >> 61 fps 1100 - 1200 MHz >> 66 fps 1200 - 1300 MHz >> 70 fps 1300 - 1400 MHz >> 75 fps 1400 - 1500 MHz >> 79 fps 1500 - 1600 MHz >> 83 fps 1600 - 1700 MHz >> 87 fps 1700 - 1800 MHz >> 91 fps 1800 - 1900 MHz >> 95 fps 1900 - 2000 MHz >> 98 fps 2000 - 2100 MHz >> 100 fps (as you can see CPU bottleneck is on the horizon) 2100 - 2200 MHz >> 101 fps I tested on the maxed out settings without any FSR mode/DLSS2FSR mod with all the shaders being built in the first place (took around 45 min). I have completed half of the game on 2000 MHz VRAM, 1150 MHz GPU. 90% of the time it was producing more than 70 fps. But the game seems to have some weird issues like you are playing on a specific GPU power setting for an hour, you die, it loads the checkpoint and bam, all on a sudden the power profile resets. I have never seen anything like this before in any other game.
Does i5 4590 have AVX2 instructions? I've heard that the PC version of Uncharted requires AVX2, so some of the old but capable CPUs, like 6/12 or 8/16 xeons cannot run it.
Kudos to DF, so many reviewer should definitly makes the distinction between review copy and actual launch day game, as always, tremendous job. Still i hate day 1 patch, just release your games finish
Its funny seeing Alex still using 2060 super in his PC comparisons against PS5 desperately trying to stand by his original claims they are on par when...he has to rely on 1440P *DLSS* (internal 1080p) comparisons to get the same performance as PS5 running NATIVE 1440p on an unlocked screen which Alex NEVER shows or mentions here lol. NX Gamers PC vs PS5 analysis on IGN actually shows a real comparison which Alex never does when it doesn't line up with his previous arguments that turned out to be wrong.
I'm genuinely shocked at how good this port is. I have a 5900X+6900XT combo and at 4k max settings I'm 70-80fps constantly, and in fsr 2 quality mode I'm never south of 100fps. That's not too much of a shocker though considering how powerful that hardware is. What is shocking is the fact that I haven't gotten a SINGLE frame time stutter or shader compilation stutter in the several hours I've played so far. My frame time graph is a flat line and it feels buttery smooth. Considering Spider-Man is full of stuttering issues like this, I was very pleasantly surprised.
Same, I'm on a 5800X3D/6800 XT build and it feels so much better than Spider-Man did. Also, my load times are way faster than the ones reported here, not sure if you experienced this?
Just finished this game. It runs 120fps at native 4k on an rtx4090 with everything ultra. It looks and plays amazing. Naughty Dog really are one of the all-time great developers.
1:15 Do not talk about anisotropic being cheap. This games Anisotropic filtering may be cheap, however; tell that to Borderlands 3's anisotropic filtering on a GTX 1650 Laptop variant. That does impact framerate in that particular game.
To your point, Spider-Man Remastered also has a big performance impact with anisotropic filtering, especially when VRAM limited. Not all games work the same way but in my experience _most_ games have very little performance impact between 16x and trilinear AF, even if you're VRAM limited. Spider-Man is actually the only game I can think of that performs significantly better with worse AF, among the games I've played. I haven't tried borderlands 3 though.
I'm waiting for A Plague Tale Requiem video. I'm really curious what do you guys think about only 30 fps performance on consoles and pc version of the game.
i dont get the outrage on the 30fps, it would have been nice to have the option for sure, but its a slow pace narrative game made by a small studio, people got to chill. I m sure a 60fps patch will come in the coming months. But its not a deal breaker imho for game like that.
@@Lancelotxxx i don't get it either but Plague Tale have really nice next gen graphics and new "Batman" game looks like game for last gen and it has problems with getting 30 fps. This is sad really. I played first Plague Tale on xbox one x and don't mind 30 fps. Game looks stunning. Latest Plague Tale game i am playing on pc on low graphics 1080p with 70% scalling and for me thats completly playable.
@@Lancelotxxx One thing that i like about it on PC is that it feels smooth at lower framerate when moving the mouse, the first Plague tale was stuttering at anything lower than 120fps, i have the same problem with half of the games, i wonder why some games work great with variable refresh rate monitors, while others are ass on anything lower than 120fps.
The performance is absolutelyy awful and DF needs to call them out for this. At 1080p, the 3060 Ti doesn't run that much above 70fps whereas the PS5 is around 90-120fps. This is a PS4 game that was running on an HD Radeon 7850 at 1080p.
Well then your 3060ti is not performing as it should, or you are not using the same settings as PS5, because the 2060S performed better than that in 1440p.
The best in an Uncharted Review video is the Tomb Raider 2 music!:) Thanks Alex for this review! I think Iron Galaxy is another good quality studio regarding PC ports. They made very good PC versions for Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy and for Spyro Reignited Trilogy.
@1:05, don't you have to select "Full Screen" option to get that control? Currently it's on "Borderless Windowed" and it won't let you have those resolution and refresh rate options. Edit: Just installed it. DF is right. There is no "Full Screen" option and thus, the options are locked.
No content for A Plague Tale : Requiem, even though it's one of the best-looking games ever made? While running on an In-house Engine? I thought these were the kind of things this channel was built on.

Apparently, the devs who made Days Gone refused to let someone else do the port of their game and did it all by themselves to ensure a great port... that right there is a company who loves it's fans unlike Naughty Dog who keep dividing and spitting in it's fans faces!
Something these channels get wrong is that they should always target two resolutions, cause for example, at 4k you might notice a difference between ultra and high textures, but it is a completely different thing at 1080p. Same goes with upscalers and shadows
@@sanyammalhan i did played it originally on my PS4 at 1080p on a Full HD panel, but what a pleasure to replay this masterpiece at it full glory on my gaming PC at 4K ultra on man LG 50 inch 4k HDR display , especially when you reach Libertalia , this game is beeeeeutifull !
@@damianabregba7476 Yeah but usually how this works is the low settings are essentially the ps4 settings. At least that's how games like god of war were to my knowledge.
It's amzing that Alex is pretending that 5700 and 2060 super are in the same category, when in reality 5700XT vs 2060 super is apple to apple comparison. Still to his sadness 5700 still beats it.
I agree with Alex. Seems it's not very rich settings wise, but as long as perfomance is solid, which is undeniably the most important factor in a PC port, and seeing that a 2060 almost does 1440p60 Ultra, this is a solid conversion.
Gracias por estos videos son de mucha ayuda, didacticos, entretenidos y divertidos.👍 A Plague Tale: Requiem tambien necesita un buen repaso de ajustes optimizados. Seguid asi.
I don't understand why they released the 4th game in the series first. Why? Why do your PC audience dirty like this? Like even if the port is good, I'm not playing it.. because it's the 4th game in the series.
Here’s a question: what “DLSS Sharpness” setting is everyone using? I’m looking for a decent compromise between preserving (or even enhancing) image quality relative to the native presentation without producing over-sharpening artifacts.
Yes. Its funny seeing Alex still using 2060 super in his PC comparisons against PS5 desperately trying to stand by his original claims they are on par when...he has to rely on 1440P *DLSS* (internal 1080p) comparisons to get the same performance as PS5 running NATIVE 1440p on an unlocked screen which Alex NEVER shows or mentions here lol. NX Gamers PC vs PS5 analysis on IGN actually shows a real comparison which Alex never does when the analysis doesn't line up with his previous arguments that turned out to be wrong.
When it's not fixed hardware like PC, offering people a pre-gameplay shader compilation option is courteous. Get it over with beforehand, to massively reduce comp/cache stutters. I'm happy to wait a few minutes as the shader comp runs. If it reduces/eliminates "comp hitch" when actually playing. Yes.
See what great optimization does? I mean this game looks stunning. Just shows how the RTX 2060 is still a damn decent GPU if the game is optimized properly. Looking at you Gotham Knights and all the other horribly optimized games out there
I have the same DLSS sharpening issue with this title that i had with God of War. When i turn on the sharpening with DLSS quality @1080p i get flickering around fine objects like foliage when i move the camera. The problem goes away completly when i turn off the sharpening but i then get the soft image unsharpened DLSS produces on lower resolutions. I already was wondering why Alex didn't point that problem out with God of War and i'm again confused with this title that he missed it again because for me this problem makes using DLSS absolutely unbarable. At least in this title the sharpening turns off completly when you turn the slider fully down, with God of War we had to wait for a patch for it to do that.
@@1GTX1 Yeah that works but honestly it's pretty much the same as just playing native at that point. No real performance or visual gains anymore. It's honestly just a little technical details with the DLSS implementation that i'd love to see adressed in DF videos.
I will try now, months later to see if the issues are resolved. I love this game so much, and I used to play on the PS4 PRO, now on the PC the visuals are for sure so much better.
It's a little weird to me that the scaling goes in chunks of 20% instead of 10% because I'm missing a sweet spot for my rig in there. I'm either running the game at 80fps or 50-60! I am glad to see more games with internal resolution scaling though, as someone who still has a 1080p monitor and wants to use as little post-processing anti-aliasing as possible (TAA, SMAA, and FXAA are all kind of gross-looking at 1080p especially). I much prefer MSAA or, in this case, SSAA! I've got a 2080ti, may as well use it xD
I'm so glad I gave up the headache of settings and options on PC gaming. Yes console gaming won't touch you gaming gods, but in my family, I just want to drop a disc in or download a game and it play without tweaking for hours.
This was quite interesting. No longer owning a gaming PC this comparison doesn’t make me feel like I’m missing out too much. PS5 suffices quite nicely.
@@jotham97 absolutely. I’ve nothing against PC gaming, and lived in that world for many years. But life gets in the way and a console is ‘good enough’ for me for now.
At 1440p i found the dlss implementation subpar in this game, a lot of ghosting. Fsr 2.0 actually looks sharper this time. Anyone else had this impression?
Try using the 2.4.6 version of DLSS. The latest 2.4.12 version actually looks much worse. Spider-Man had ghosting issues as well which could be fixed by switching out the .dll for the older 2.4.6 version.
On my PS5 I actually turned off the motion blur. It makes for better screen captures during high motion scenes. I’ll be honest, I don’t like the idea of a game that defined 2 generations of console being ported to PC. I felt the same way about Halo, Gears of War, and God of War.
Drake intensely staring at the “Launch version” had me laughing.

2000 - 2100 MHz >> 100 fps (as you can see CPU bottleneck is on the horizon)
2100 - 2200 MHz >> 101 fps
I tested on the maxed out settings without any FSR mode/DLSS2FSR mod with all the shaders being built in the first place (took around 45 min). I have completed half of the game on 2000 MHz VRAM, 1150 MHz GPU. 90% of the time it was producing more than 70 fps. But the game seems to have some weird issues like you are playing on a specific GPU power setting for an hour, you die, it loads the checkpoint and bam, all on a sudden the power profile resets. I have never seen anything like this before in any other game.
Does i5 4590 have AVX2 instructions? I've heard that the PC version of Uncharted requires AVX2, so some of the old but capable CPUs, like 6/12 or 8/16 xeons cannot run it.
@@more7642 yes. It supports AVX2.
Kudos to DF, so many reviewer should definitly makes the distinction between review copy and actual launch day game, as always, tremendous job. Still i hate day 1 patch, just release your games finish
The Ps5 really is proving to be a beast for the price, a complete contrast to the Ps4 release hardware.
Or even compared to a comparable PC
Its funny seeing Alex still using 2060 super in his PC comparisons against PS5 desperately trying to stand by his original claims they are on par when...he has to rely on 1440P *DLSS* (internal 1080p) comparisons to get the same performance as PS5 running NATIVE 1440p on an unlocked screen which Alex NEVER shows or mentions here lol.
NX Gamers PC vs PS5 analysis on IGN actually shows a real comparison which Alex never does when it doesn't line up with his previous arguments that turned out to be wrong.

I'm genuinely shocked at how good this port is. I have a 5900X+6900XT combo and at 4k max settings I'm 70-80fps constantly, and in fsr 2 quality mode I'm never south of 100fps.
That's not too much of a shocker though considering how powerful that hardware is. What is shocking is the fact that I haven't gotten a SINGLE frame time stutter or shader compilation stutter in the several hours I've played so far. My frame time graph is a flat line and it feels buttery smooth. Considering Spider-Man is full of stuttering issues like this, I was very pleasantly surprised.
Same, I'm on a 5800X3D/6800 XT build and it feels so much better than Spider-Man did. Also, my load times are way faster than the ones reported here, not sure if you experienced this?
@@findlaywilliams6610 Way way faster. I'm not sure what the issue here was.
@@findlaywilliams6610 True. Load times for me are 3-4 secs. and I don't even have the fastest SSD.
Just finished this game. It runs 120fps at native 4k on an rtx4090 with everything ultra. It looks and plays amazing. Naughty Dog really are one of the all-time great developers.
The performance on Steam Deck is incredible
Steam deck is a nice device 👍
1:15 Do not talk about anisotropic being cheap. This games Anisotropic filtering may be cheap, however; tell that to Borderlands 3's anisotropic filtering on a GTX 1650 Laptop variant. That does impact framerate in that particular game.
To your point, Spider-Man Remastered also has a big performance impact with anisotropic filtering, especially when VRAM limited.
Not all games work the same way but in my experience _most_ games have very little performance impact between 16x and trilinear AF, even if you're VRAM limited. Spider-Man is actually the only game I can think of that performs significantly better with worse AF, among the games I've played. I haven't tried borderlands 3 though.
Yeah, people with rtx wouldn't get it xD
I'm waiting for A Plague Tale Requiem video. I'm really curious what do you guys think about only 30 fps performance on consoles and pc version of the game.
i dont get the outrage on the 30fps, it would have been nice to have the option for sure, but its a slow pace narrative game made by a small studio, people got to chill. I m sure a 60fps patch will come in the coming months. But its not a deal breaker imho for game like that.
@@Lancelotxxx i don't get it either but Plague Tale have really nice next gen graphics and new "Batman" game looks like game for last gen and it has problems with getting 30 fps. This is sad really. I played first Plague Tale on xbox one x and don't mind 30 fps. Game looks stunning. Latest Plague Tale game i am playing on pc on low graphics 1080p with 70% scalling and for me thats completly playable.
@@Lancelotxxx Agree, it doesn't need 60fps.
@@Lancelotxxx One thing that i like about it on PC is that it feels smooth at lower framerate when moving the mouse, the first Plague tale was stuttering at anything lower than 120fps, i have the same problem with half of the games, i wonder why some games work great with variable refresh rate monitors, while others are ass on anything lower than 120fps.
shader compilation needs to be praised.
On my 5900X with the 4090 it runs so well. Locked 120fps at 4K …. It looks and runs amazing
Those chills I got when hearing Tomb Raider tunes. Instant nostalgia hit.
The performance is absolutelyy awful and DF needs to call them out for this. At 1080p, the 3060 Ti doesn't run that much above 70fps whereas the PS5 is around 90-120fps. This is a PS4 game that was running on an HD Radeon 7850 at 1080p.
Well then your 3060ti is not performing as it should, or you are not using the same settings as PS5, because the 2060S performed better than that in 1440p.
i have 3060ti with all settings maxed out
120 stable fps
it is your gpu for sure
The best in an Uncharted Review video is the Tomb Raider 2 music!:) Thanks Alex for this review! I think Iron Galaxy is another good quality studio regarding PC ports. They made very good PC versions for Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy and for Spyro Reignited Trilogy.
I thought I was the only one hearing it lol
Iron Galaxy also made the infamous Arkham Knight PC port too
It's a perfectly average port. I just hope it's Nixxes and not Iron Galaxy doing TLOU ports
glad im not the only one who noticed that
@@crestofhonor2349 trust a furry to miss obvious signs.
Ah, Iron Galaxy, the studio that did the Arkham Knight PC port.
Which was a nightmare when it first launched.
@1:05, don't you have to select "Full Screen" option to get that control? Currently it's on "Borderless Windowed" and it won't let you have those resolution and refresh rate options.
Edit: Just installed it. DF is right. There is no "Full Screen" option and thus, the options are locked.
There is no fullscreen option

Nice video. Now I'm hoping for a video on A Plague Tale: Requiem.
Happy that PC players get to experience these great games

@@Battleneter but this way you get to play the movie, and it's longer than some weak, overcut 2hr story. Plus you get to play it out the way you want instead of the director's choice. I'll play an amazing cinematic game over watch a movie any day. Regardless of how hardcore the gameplay is.

Managed to Keep Vram under 8 gigs as i Don't Use Dlss , etc ... if Game Uses Ray Tracing in Future ...... Mite bee Close , if Possible.
Apparently, the devs who made Days Gone refused to let someone else do the port of their game and did it all by themselves to ensure a great port... that right there is a company who loves it's fans unlike Naughty Dog who keep dividing and spitting in it's fans faces!
Something these channels get wrong is that they should always target two resolutions, cause for example, at 4k you might notice a difference between ultra and high textures, but it is a completely different thing at 1080p. Same goes with upscalers and shadows
This game is very well optimised. I can run it on High Ultra settings on my GTX 1660, Ryzen 5 2600 (with slight overclocking).

I agree.
@@noodleman4555 kind of. But this is beefier ps5 version

finally the truth
$200 rtx 2060 super / rx 5700 is faster than weakstation 5
The musics that you use in the background are always a banger!
It's amzing that Alex is pretending that 5700 and 2060 super are in the same category, when in reality 5700XT vs 2060 super is apple to apple comparison. Still to his sadness 5700 still beats it.
Not according to the user benchmarks, rx5700 is 9% slower than 2060s.
NIce Tomb Raider theme playing in the background.
It's a shame that this game has the usual problems related to mouse acceleration. Perhaps, this time, also related to the framerate.
Kudos for using classic Tomb Raider music in an Uncharted video. Well done 👍!
REALLY surprised you didn't mention how turning on DLSS made the shadow quality drop.
He loves Nvidia and already had a meltdown. You can tell in his speech pattern.
Do i hear the Tomb Raider Main Theme playing in the backround :) ?? .....niiiiice touch video editing guy :D
Stuttering in PC games is the reason il probably end up getting The Callisto Protocol on PS5 as there's a load of PC games plagued with stuttering.
It does not have any stutters. You just need to wait for shader compilation to finish in the menu when you run game first time
Even the original PS4 versions are still gorgeous. The PS5 and now this PC port just cherry on top.
I agree with Alex. Seems it's not very rich settings wise, but as long as perfomance is solid, which is undeniably the most important factor in a PC port, and seeing that a 2060 almost does 1440p60 Ultra, this is a solid conversion.
Using the iconic Tomb Raider II soundtrack for an Uncharted video...The audacity! :D Great video, as always :)
Gracias por estos videos son de mucha ayuda, didacticos, entretenidos y divertidos.👍
A Plague Tale: Requiem tambien necesita un buen repaso de ajustes optimizados.
Seguid asi.
No comparisson with the VRR or 4K modes from PS5? Disappointing video really, it was a good chance to gauge the real power of the PS5 gpu
I know it's more work but including steam deck optimized settings in these videos would be awesome.

4:09 virtual Alex explaining shader compilation to the viewer
The two games do look interesting. Might give them a shot one of these days.
They're highly regarded as one of the greatest of all times of playstation exclusives.
I don't understand why they released the 4th game in the series first. Why? Why do your PC audience dirty like this?
Like even if the port is good, I'm not playing it.. because it's the 4th game in the series.
Here’s a question: what “DLSS Sharpness” setting is everyone using? I’m looking for a decent compromise between preserving (or even enhancing) image quality relative to the native presentation without producing over-sharpening artifacts.
I turned it down to 50% as found the default a little too oversharpened.
Pretty sure the slider is broken because it either looks oversharpened or too blurry
I play everything on its Highest setting getting well over 60FPS .. I get like 120 130 I’m loving it .
12:07 Tomb Raider music could fit in Uncharted. That's is music from Tomb Raider isn't it?
But Uncharted are fun to play.
10:30 Alex's optimised settings

Haha, this look over the "launch version"! Nice one Alex!
When it's not fixed hardware like PC, offering people a pre-gameplay shader compilation option is courteous. Get it over with beforehand, to massively reduce comp/cache stutters.
I'm happy to wait a few minutes as the shader comp runs.
If it reduces/eliminates "comp hitch" when actually playing. Yes.

I have the same DLSS sharpening issue with this title that i had with God of War.
When i turn on the sharpening with DLSS quality @1080p i get flickering around fine objects like foliage when i move the camera.
The problem goes away completly when i turn off the sharpening but i then get the soft image unsharpened DLSS produces on lower resolutions.
I already was wondering why Alex didn't point that problem out with God of War and i'm again confused with this title that he missed it again because for me this problem makes using DLSS absolutely unbarable.
At least in this title the sharpening turns off completly when you turn the slider fully down, with God of War we had to wait for a patch for it to do that.
Have you tried using DLDSR with DLSS and sharpness at 0
@@1GTX1 Yeah that works but honestly it's pretty much the same as just playing native at that point. No real performance or visual gains anymore.
It's honestly just a little technical details with the DLSS implementation that i'd love to see adressed in DF videos.
I will try now, months later to see if the issues are resolved.
I love this game so much, and I used to play on the PS4 PRO, now on the PC the visuals are for sure so much better.
It's a little weird to me that the scaling goes in chunks of 20% instead of 10% because I'm missing a sweet spot for my rig in there. I'm either running the game at 80fps or 50-60! I am glad to see more games with internal resolution scaling though, as someone who still has a 1080p monitor and wants to use as little post-processing anti-aliasing as possible (TAA, SMAA, and FXAA are all kind of gross-looking at 1080p especially). I much prefer MSAA or, in this case, SSAA! I've got a 2080ti, may as well use it xD
I wonder if they'll add DLAA at some point.
Just combine FSR 2.x/DLSS 2 with VSR/DSR. That'll most likely land you with better visuals and performance.
Your "2080ti" is fake
I'm so glad I gave up the headache of settings and options on PC gaming. Yes console gaming won't touch you gaming gods, but in my family, I just want to drop a disc in or download a game and it play without tweaking for hours.
This was quite interesting. No longer owning a gaming PC this comparison doesn’t make me feel like I’m missing out too much. PS5 suffices quite nicely.
Agreed. While I own a gaming PC and PS5, it's a great time to be a console gamer when it comes to value to performance.
@@jotham97 absolutely. I’ve nothing against PC gaming, and lived in that world for many years. But life gets in the way and a console is ‘good enough’ for me for now.
That Tomb Raider 2 music brought back a lot of memories, damn. One of the first games I've ever played on PC, along with Hexen 2.
At 1440p i found the dlss implementation subpar in this game, a lot of ghosting. Fsr 2.0 actually looks sharper this time. Anyone else had this impression?
Random studio at the helm, the games were made for AMD hardware. So Could be Nvidia needs to optimize title in driver.
yes, Ive noticed this too. FSR also gives better performance
Try using the 2.4.6 version of DLSS. The latest 2.4.12 version actually looks much worse. Spider-Man had ghosting issues as well which could be fixed by switching out the .dll for the older 2.4.6 version.
Game run like crap for me with dlss on 3060ti. With FSR everything runs smooth without problems.
On my PS5 I actually turned off the motion blur. It makes for better screen captures during high motion scenes.
I’ll be honest, I don’t like the idea of a game that defined 2 generations of console being ported to PC. I felt the same way about Halo, Gears of War, and God of War.
Man.... What great cajones to send DF underbaked code 🤣
Wow the TR2 skidoo music at the start fits perfectly in so many ways.
