Review: Call of Duty: WW2: PC graphics performance benchmarks
We review the PC release of Call of Duty: WW2 for Windows relative towards graphics card performance with the latest AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers. Multiple graphics cards (20) are being tested and benchmarked. We have a look at performance with the newest graphics cards and technologies.
Read the performance analysis here.
Review: GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 2-way FCAT SLI - 11/02/2017 02:04 PM
In this review we'll combine two GeForce GTX 1070 Ti (MSI Gaming editions) graphics cards in a 2-way Multi-GPU setup. We'll obviously focus on Ultra HD performance as well as a micro stuttering anal...

The IW engine and all it's variations (Treyarch has one for their games, think it's named a different thing entirely now since Black Ops 3) tend to under-perform on AMD hardware, not sure why but that's just how it is.
EDIT: Also if this is like Infinite Warfare and Black Ops 3 then Sun Shadow caching really hits VRAM usage so if textures look a bit like oh I don't know, absolute arse maybe. Well disabling that tends to resolve it.
It does improve stuttering and such though, same with the shader cache option though that one can take a long time to load depending on how things are set up, AMD improved their own shader cache a while back for just Infinite Warfare because the cached shaders exceeded the old max limit of the generated cache file.
EDIT: And I see there's a mix of settings this time, guessing that evens out things a bit for certain GPU models and gives a more comparable overall benchmark score without completely tanking some of the cards.
(But still mostly maxed out.)
EDIT: Interesting to see the Fury pull almost 80 FPS in the 2560x1440 test, wonder if that's the shadow quality option being on high rather than extra, well something to play around with I guess.
EDIT: Ah but that VRAM score clears it up a bit, no wonder the game steadily performs worse if VRAM climbs above 5 or even 6 GB usage over time.
(EDIT: But it could be cached plus the shader and shadow options, something else to tinker with whenever I have time for that.)

Great review HH.
I think games should start to bundle the better textures as a separate free download, size is getting out of hand and not everyone has fast unlimited internet.
Also, it's time for a series like this to jump the DX12 train.
On AMD side I hope that's fixable with a driver update, those performance numbers are a bit strange.
Waiting on CPU scaling!
Completely agree with the DX12 part. Although I will say, BO3 is pretty decent looking.

Filmic SMAA in particular introduces some very noticeable smoothing but other post-process effects and such also causes some blurriness, clean that up with downsampling if you have the GPU power for it and the game looks pretty good for it's single player mode, MP probably sacrifices some detail for fluidity though zombies might be a bit more detailed even if it probably won't match the SP campaign.
