Image quality settings and benchmark system

We've been fiddling and playing around with image quality settings, you can simply enable Ultra High-quality settings, for all resolutions. The game is DX12 compatible + ASYNC compute ergo we recommend this API. below an overview of the many settings.

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:

GeForce GTX 1060
GeForce GTX 1070
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti
GeForce GTX 1080
GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
GeForce GTX 1650
GeForce GTX 1660
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
GeForce RTX 2060
GeForce RTX 2060 Super
Geforce RTX 2070
GeForce RTX 2070 Super
GeForce RTX 2080
Geforce RTX 2080 Super
GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
GeForce Titan Xp
Radeon R9 390X
Radeon R9 Fury
Radeon R9 Fury X
Radeon R9 NANO
Radeon RX 470
Radeon RX 480
Radeon RX 570
Radeon RX 5700
Radeon RX 5700 XT
Radeon RX 580
Radeon RX 590
Radeon RX Vega 56
Radeon RX Vega 64
Radeon VII

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. 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.

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 436.15 and 436.30 WHQL drivers (download). We started with the.15 driver and retested 6 cards with the 436.30 drivers - these show no noticeable perf gain despite being the 'optimized' set).
Radeon graphics cards we used the latest AMD Radeon Adrenalin 19.91x driver (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.
