Image Quality and System requirements

Image quality settings and benchmark system

We've been fiddling and playing around with image quality settings, you could enable Ultra High-quality settings, however for all resolutions, Guru3D uses the second highest graphics preset "Very High", because for "Ultra High" the performance is simply too low without any massive image quality improvement other than a 8x AA anti-aliasing level.

We've also looked at DX11 versus DX12. The funny thing is that with the closed beta, DX12 shows increased performance. However, with this close to final public beta, we hardly see any difference. DX11 performed even better, so we'll follow that API. This also has to do with our CPU used, the Core i9 9900K obviously is not quickly bottlenecked.

In the article, we'll also peek at performance with different quality modes, and obviously VSYNC disabled.

The graphics cards tested

In this article, we'll make use of the following cards at a properly good PC experience graphics quality wise, the quality mode as shown above with Vsync disabled (which needs to be done by editing a configuration file). The graphics cards used in this test are:
