Test System

Benchmark scores in other reviews are only comparable when this exact same configuration is used.

We tested the public release version of The Callisto Protocol, not a press preview version. All testing was performed with the day one patch installed that fixes the stuttering issues (partially). Both AMD and NVIDIA have released game-ready drivers for the game, which we used for our testing.

Graphics Memory Usage

VRAM usage on AMD and NVIDIA is very similar. Total usage is quite reasonable, around 6 GB for up to and including 1440p, and around 7 GB for 4K. When you enable ray tracing, the VRAM consumption increases considerably, but not to a level that's challenging for any graphics card out there (that can achieve solid FPS with ray tracing enabled).

GPU Performance

FPS Analysis

In this section, we're comparing each card's performance to the average FPS measured in our graphics card reviews, which is based on a mix of 25 games and should provide a realistic average covering a wide range of APIs, engines, and genres.
