Graphics card performance

The game offers several quality settings and modes. At 1920x1080 even entry-level to mainstream graphics cards achieve very good frame-rates at the best possible settings. Visually there is little difference in-between the normal to the most complex mode settings. Let's start off with Full HD and roughly 20 graphics cards based on the quality settings we've shown you.


We'll be using the Mein leben! quality preset. This is the hardest of them all. However, the is so optimized that at 1920x1080 pretty much any card can achieve good framerates. There is a disadvantage though, the preset likes a lot of memory, and as you will see the 4 GB (graphics memory) cards are being hit hard.  Should you feel uncomfortable with your 4GB card, then just switch towards a lower quality setting modus. I tested four of them with a 4GB Radeon R9 Fury X (see above). But yes, if you want image quality in gaming, then 4GB is something we need to leave behind us as 8GB is becoming the new mainstream,

 

Again, 4GB cards take a big hit. But even then, the game is rather playable with pretty much any card starting at GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 570. All graphics cards are based on reference clock frequencies or clocked at reference frequencies. Nvidia cards often are sold as AIB product with a much faster factory tweak (and extra 100~150 Mhz on the base clock is not unusual) that can result in say 10% additional performance over reference. For AMD card that typically is lower at a ~50 MHz increase. The type of game you play is always relevant though, a first-person shooter game is nice at 50 to 60 fps, an online shooter on a 144Hz monitor feels better at 100+ fps. And totally on the opposing side, for RPG gaming things are different for which we are comfortable with an FPS ranging as low as 30~35 FPS. For race-games I feel a minimum of 40 FPS average would be a good point to start. At all times if your framerate is low, you can opt to change in-game image quality settings. Again, mind you that we test with reference cards or cards that have been clocked at reference frequencies.
