Image quality settings and benchmark system

For this game, we use a run with Ultra image quality settings, the highest possible quality mode. We will test several modern age graphics cards in this D3D12 and D3D11 compatible title performance wise. Games typically should be able to run in the 40 FPS range combined with your monitor resolution at the very least. From there onwards you can enable/disable things if you need more performance or demand even better game rendering quality.

The beta is showing plenty PC graphics options like the quality of textures, texture filtering, lighting, effects, post-processing, mesh, terrain and anti-aliasing (TAA) are listed. Ambient occlusion can also be set HBAO. Gamers also have the ability to change the resolution, limit the frame rate, adjust the field-of-view, adjust effects such as vignettes or motion blur, or resolution scale. You can choose DX12, missing, however, are GeForce RTX related options, which makes sense as DirectX RT needs to be released by Microsoft first. Below a couple of screenshots showing the graphics settings.

For our testing we'll disable the video card memory limitations (as we do not want to the card to automatically alter things like texture quality), opt DX12, ultra Quality mode, VSYNC off, and HBAO on.

Graphics cards tested

In this review we'll test the following cards at the best PC experience, a maxed out quality mode (Ultra) with VSYNC OFF. The graphics cards used in this test:

Geforce GTX 1050 Ti (4GB)
GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB)
GeForce GTX 1070
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti
GeForce GTX 1080
GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
GeForce Titan X (Pascal)
GeForce Titan Xp
Radeon R9 Fury
Radeon R9 Nano
Radeon RX 470 (8GB)
Radeon RX 480 (8GB)
Radeon RX 570 (8GB)
Radeon RX 580 (8GB)
Radeon RX Vega 56
Radeon RX Vega 64

System Specifications & recommended drivers

Our test system is based on the eight-core Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Edition with Haswell-E based setup on the X99 chipset platform. This setup is running tweaked at 4.20 GHz. Next, to that, we have energy saving functions disabled for this motherboard and processor (to ensure consistent benchmark results). We use Windows 10 all patched up. Each card runs on the same PC with the same operating system clone.

The drivers are:

GeForce cards use the latest 399.07 WHQL driver (download drivers).
Radeon graphics cards we used the latest AMD Radeon Crimson 18.8.2 Driver (download drivers).

Our test PC was outfitted with this heavy setup to prevent and remove CPU bottlenecks that could influence high-end graphics card GPU scores. Let's head onwards to the next page where we'll look at some screenshots and then start measure several monitor resolutions in terms of relative performance versus quality settings.
