Remnant II Benchmark Test & Performance Analysis

[W1zzard]

Remnant II is one of the first titles to use Unreal Engine 5. UE5 introduces many improvements, like Nanite virtual geometry, Lumen lighting and improvements to the shader compilation process. In our performance review, we're taking a closer look at image quality, VRAM usage, and performance on a selection of modern graphics cards.

not even 90 FPS at 1440p with a 4090... ridiculous.

Thanks for saving me 50 bucks W1zz!

Cant see the 4060 Ti 16GB results!

What nonsense. "We designed this game with upscalers in mind", practically means "we didn't optimize, who cares, you'll buy anyway"

Thanks for saving me 50 bucks, W1zz! (2)

What a let down on the performance, i am still going to buy it since the family wants to play it. Ill have to use DLSS just to get any decent frame rate at 4k

The more disappointing part is it doesn't use the majority of UE5 advanced visual features and still runs this bad. The DLSS uplift is abnormally large though.

Either way reviews have been decent otherwise.

Dont worry brah, daddy Nvidia got ya with that sweet sweet DLSS

 

[MicroUnC]

50 fps with 4090 native. Runs great on DLSS Quality.

 

[outpt]

Didn’t care for the first one no way will I buy this either.

@W1zzard

Still using that classic monitor

How old it that thing now??

 

[bug]

New ground broken, now PC gamers don't have to put up with crappy console ports, they now have crappy UE4->UE5 ports

maybe it's a portable display. they are often 16:10 QHD.

Layers of fear (2023) also showcases what UE5 is capable of. Additionally i would like to see some dlss/fsr/xess benchmarks just for comparison.

 

[MarsM4N]

Wow, the perforamance. Wondering how the game even runs on consoles. 30FPS + upscaling?

 

[Denver]

Without the appropriate driver the 7900XTX is on the tail of the 4090, perhaps due to overkill in polygon count, where RDNA3 gets to flex its muscles.

Yeah pretty much.

 

[mahanddeem]

Yeah 4090 is overkill even for 8k gaming

(4090 scores 126fps For 1440p in this game)

 

[remekra]

Game is poorly optimized by that doesnt change the fact that 7900XTX is on 4090 tail. 7900XT beating 4080 even.

 

[Makaveli]

I still enjoy and play co-op with some friends the first game, I'll wait for a few patches and maybe grab it later this year no rush.

 

[mama]

Tough hardware requirements for 4K.

 

[Frizz]

Id feel a little salty playing this game as a 4090 owner . Jokes aside I played for 15 minutes, its asking alot from the GPU for 2010 era graphics.

 

[EatingDirt]

Unreal Engine games never disappoint with poor performance from any studio save Epic Games themselves. UE4 games don't perform nearly as poorly anymore simply because graphics cards have gotten multiple times better since it's release.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Damn, I'm beginning to think even the latest and greatest cards with lots of VRAM aren't "future proof".

Fools and money.

 

[wolf]

Interesting that the game wants to use ~10gb at 4k, yet 8GB cards 1% lows don't tank even at 4k with clearly unplayable average/min FPS numbers anyway. Looks like a hard pass for me even from a technical standpoint.

I'm really hopeful for Ratchet and Clank to to be the visual stunner and technical showcase.

 

[nguyen]

Well DLSS2 + Frame Generation would be the only way to enjoy this game
