Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus PC Performance Review

[WYP]

The first ever Vulkan-only PC game has been released. Does it live up to expectations?

Very impressive CPU performance from this game. It's the polar opposite of AC:Origins lol

Smooth as a baby's bum for me. Wish it would DSR to 4k though.

Is it SLI friendly?

Is it SLI friendly?

Sadly we do not have the hardware for SLI/Crossfire/Multi-GPU testing. Would be something that would be nice to look into, but then there is the cost, time etc to take into account.

I wouldn't expect you guys to test that, especially considering the seeming abandonment of SLI, but I was just curious. I'll find out myself fairly soon.

How are you displaying the FPS Mark please?

How are you displaying the FPS Mark please?

FPS mark should be setting inside the game option menus before actually clicking "new game" or "continue story".

That is where that is TYPICALLY located...but I won't swear to that as I don't own the game and even if I did I'm not home to say exactly where it is.

Unfortunately cant get it to play in 4K without the Zoom Bloom, even with the new drivers, I still have to play in 'Borderless window'

WYP is Mark I was asking him

How are you displaying the FPS Mark please?

In the game's "advanced options" menu at the bottom of the list. Offers quite a few options that range from an FPS counter to the full analytics that I have shown in the game's screenshots.

Appologies that I did not answer earlier, as I thought the other guy's response was enough to go on.

Thanks for the review Mark! It's obvious that a lot of time goes into making these, much appreciated

Also, has anyone noticed frame drops in the resistance base / u-boat? My RX 580 runs the game fine on Mein Leben, getting around 60fps (with some drops to ~55), but as soon as I'm back on the u-boat my FPS tanks to ~40. Changing the settings doesn't seem to change a lot, either.

 

[AlienALX]

No worries guys and thanks. I did look for it because Doom had it but couldn't find it.

Finally downloaded this game. Gotta love cdkeys.com! List price of $79.99CDN, got mine for $45. 4K was a bit of a bitch to get working on this thing though, but it's running. What a dark start to a shooter, holy crap! They really went all in on filling in the back story.

You can also disable the intro stuff by entering the following in your Steam launch options should people be weary of editing files.

Thanks Wraith! :wavey:

Poor Fury.

Poor Fury.

Powerful card with little memory chokes on anything more than medium. Sad story

In what way was it difficult to get running ? You've got quite a rig there.
