Image quality settings and benchmark system

For this game, we use a run with best image quality settings, the highest possible quality mode (Ultra). Games typically should be able to run in the 60 FPS range combined with your monitor resolution. From there onwards you can enable/disable things if you need more performance or demand even better game rendering quality. There's a lot of features you can configure, we recommend you to stick to High or Ultra High and leave it at that.

This years benchmark scene we use, above you can see the RTX 2080 Ti at work in 4K

And apologies, the game detects your country preference and applies the associated language, yep Dutch! We opt Ultra High settings, TAA, Af16and HBAO+

The graphics cards tested

Test environment (system specification)

Our graphics card test system is based on an eight-core Intel Core i9 9900K processor on the Z390 chipset platform. We have energy-saving functions disabled for this motherboard and processor (to ensure consistent benchmark results). We use Windows 10 all patched up. Each graphics card runs on the same PC with the same operating system clone.

System Spec

Core i9 9900K
Z390 (ASRock Tachi Ultimate)
32 GB DDR4 3200 MHz CL16
NVMe M.2. SSD WD Black

Graphics drivers

GeForce graphics cards use the 451.67 (download), (DLSS update has been performed with GeForce 452.06 WHQL)
Radeon graphics cards we used the latest AMD Radeon Adrenalin 20.7.1 driver (not yet available) (download).

Our test PC was outfitted with this heavy set up 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.
