We will look at Prey in a PC graphics performance and PC gamer way. We'll test the game on the PC platform relative towards graphics card performance with the latest AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers. Multiple graphics cards are being tested and benchmarked. We have a look at performance with the newest graphics cards and technologies.

That moment when you switch from a 290x to a 1070 and see your old gpu
performing better at 4k. So much tears.

Thanks for taking the time and doing a sterling job as always HH.
Can I be cheeky and ask for one or two more benchmarks that may prove VERY interesting in light of a recent press event. Could you do some crossfire/sli testing - say, maybe a couple of Furies at 4k? Any other Nvidia cards would be a bonus, but I'd find the 2x Fury (x or otherwise) option fascinating!

?????????? 290X is slightly slower than the 390x which is 6fps or ~20% slower than 1070.

Thanks Mr Hilbert.
This game should run well on anything because the gamplay its inside of a bulding/station.
Interiors are not very demanding.
Hope the shadows are enabled on nvidia side,after first days mess.

Looks well optimized. High 1080p frame rate is welcome.

Heh that's one way of putting it. Another way is that it's dated.
But at least it's not a stuttering mess.

After that mess of a Dishonored 2 this looks very well optimized.

Waaait a second, the article changed now. The r9 390x was way above the
1070 in 4k.

Now this is how a well optimized game for pc is made ;-)
Ubisoft for ex. has alot to learn. Yes even if they are using a completely different engine. Their games suffer better optimization for all gpus. Not everyone can afford a 1080ti which even that card suffer @4k on their newest games.

There was one entry with typo that got fixed in the first half hour after publication, the 390x. I think it listed 43 where it is 34 So yeah, you are better off with your 1070 purchase !
Hawaii / Grenada however still is going strong.

Apparently the game has hitching issues when not played from an SSD. The game freezes every couple seconds if you move around, but not if you stay still. Lowering the texture quality setting reduces the issue (the lower the setting, the less problematic the issue becomes, and disappears at the "low" setting.)
FCAT would have caught that, but the benchmark would have needed to be done from a hard disk instead of from an SSD.
So: don't get this game if you don't have an SSD ;-)
(Or: get an SSD, you cheap-asses.)

I have SSD just for OS and was playing Prey from classic spinning disk just fine.

For a moment there i thought i needed a second set of glasses.
1070 does however way better in every title that I've tested so far so I'm satisfied.

Epic gpu's from AMD. Next time HH, throw in there some Kepler gpus to compare.

All Kepler and Tahiti GPU's would run out of VRAM at 1080. A 4GB GK104 would likely be around 30-45 fps in 1080.

Where are you getting that? gtx1060 3gb is beating even 4gb cards and have no problems keeping 60fps.
Kepler having 30-45fps is isssue on its own, not lack of Vram.
Keep in mind these benchmarks are pre-patch so nvidia is pulling the lead here.

They did such a great job with optimization in this game even a 1050/1050TI could run it @1080P. Thank you for the article HH.

Kepler and Tahiti don't have the color compression Maxwell and Pascal have. Also I said GK104 you know 660ti, 670, 680, 760 and 770. On the high end they were about 50% slower than the 980. GK110 would likely be around 55 for 780 and 65 for 780ti as long as they don't run out of VRAM.

Thank you Hilbert for posting this review. As for myself, Prey has been a lot of fun. The final cut scene however, really upset me - you are Morgan Yu until then.

Hawaii / Grenada however still is going strong.
I missed the 8 GB 290X variant and bought 2 290x 4GB Lightnings.
No regrets, the 4 GB Lightning model can OC a lot specially under water.
IMHO the best AMD GPU deal of the last 5 years: 290X 8 GB

Love this game, mechanic, artworks, looks similar to System Shock 2.
Dishonored 2 is a good game also, just have wrong optimisation.
Idtech and cryengine in Prey was a good choice. I can play at 6K@60 lol.
Just one thing. Reactor location seems stuttery, atleast for me ")

They don't. I have finished the game with everything on ultra with a 3GB 7970. It doesn't stutter or do anything weird and it stays at 60fps.
EDIT: Everything on the max setting except the Screen Space reflections which were sitting at half rez. It's not as if they eat a lot of vram.
