Even when we decreased our resolution to 3325×1871, we were still unable to get a constant 60fps experience on Ultra settings. As for 4K, our RTX2080Ti was simply unable to offer a smooth gaming experience. The only GPU that was able to run smoothly the game at 2560×1440 on Ultra settings was our NVIDIA RTX2080Ti. Our AMD Radeon RX580 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX980Ti were unable to offer a 60fps experience at 1080p/Ultra and our AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 was almost able to achieve it (there were some drops to 53fps but it was more or less a 60fps experience). If you are one of them… well… now you know why.Īnthem also requires a high-end GPU on Ultra settings in order to be enjoyed.
ANTHEM GAME PC 1080P
You will find in the official forums a lot of gamers with performance issues at 1080p resolutions that cannot improve performance by lowering their settings. Now we don’t consider 60fps/77fps a bad experience (that minimum is when flying and rotating the camera to 180 degrees), however it’s obvious that a lot of players will experience performance issues due to the high RAM frequency requirements and the lack of DX12 or Vulkan. It’s worth pointing out that Anthem is only using DirectX 11 and – like Doom 2016 or Shadow of the Tomb Raider – the game could benefit (and run faster on the same hardware) from a better API like DirectX 12 or Vulkan. In our test machine, we were limited by our RAM frequency, even though our CPU was not pushed to its limits. Furthermore, Anthem is also one of the few games that requires high frequency RAM memories. A quad-core CPU appears to be the sweet spot and we did not experience any performance differences between our simulated quad-core and six-core systems. Unfortunately for dual-core CPU owners, Anthem is far from playable on such systems on Ultra settings (even if you pair them with a high-end GPU). In order to find out how the game scales on multiple CPUs, we’ve simulated a dual-core and a quad-core system. Below you can find some screenshots showcasing this issue. After the aforementioned period, our CPU usage dropped drastically and the game ran without showing a similar behaviour. We could easily replicate this issue on both AMD’s and NVIDIA’s hardware, though it was significantly worse on AMD’s GPUs (the CPU was maxed out for 4-5 minutes on the AMD hardware and for 1-2 minutes on the NVIDIA hardware). We don’t know what it’s going on here, however we suggest monitoring your CPU usage before starting a mission. For unknown reasons, and especially on AMD’s hardware, the game had been hammering all of our 12 threads in the first 4-5 minutes after launching it. Thus, and while our benchmark sequence is more demanding, it better represents the game’s performance.īefore continuing, we should also note a rather strange behaviour while launching the game.
We believe that the performance in Fort Tarsis does not reflect the actual gameplay performance as all missions are more demanding than it.
For our benchmarks we used the first mission and not Fort Tarsis (like most publications do for Anthem).
ANTHEM GAME PC PC
However, and while our PC test system is able to provide a 60fps experience, Anthem is easily one of the most demanding games of 2018. Given the fact that the game is powered by Frostbite Engine, we were expecting solid performance on the PC. Sadly though, there isn’t any resolution scaler (though Bioware has already confirmed that it will add support for DLSS via a post-launch update). There are also options for Camera Shake, Chromatic Aberration, Motion Blur and Depth of Field. PC gamers can adjust the quality of Anti-Aliasing, Ambient Occlusion, Textures, Texture Filtering, Mesh, Lighting, Effects, Post-Processing, Terrain and Vegetation.
Unfortunately, NVIDIA has currently set the game on Single GPU mode in its latest drivers, meaning that our GTX690 behaved similarly to a single GTX680.Īnthem comes with a respectable graphics settings to tweak.
ANTHEM GAME PC DRIVER
Anthem is powered by the Frostbite Engine so it’s time now to benchmark it and see how it performs on the PC platform.įor this PC Performance Analysis, we used an Intel i7 4930K (overclocked at 4.2Ghz) with 16GB of DDR3 RAM at 2133Mhz, AMD’s Radeon RX580 and RX Vega 64, NVIDIA’s RTX 2080Ti, GTX980Ti and GTX690, Windows 10 64-bit, GeForce driver 419.17 and the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.2.2. After an underwhelming demo, Bioware and Electronic Arts have released the final version of their online looter shooter, Anthem.
