Bethesda and MachineGames have listed 4GB as the minimum VRAM requirement, and they were spot on. As such, in single GPU mode, our GTX690 was under-used (something that explains the low performance on the GTX680). And that’s mainly due to VRAM limitations. Unfortunately, our GTX690 was simply unable to offer an acceptable performance on settings higher than Low. On the other hand, NVIDIA’s GPU offered a minimum of 92fps and an average of 104fps. AMD’s GPU offered a minimum of 80fps and an average of 100fps. The AMD Radeon RX580 was able to match the performance of the NVIDIA GTX980Ti. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is one of the few titles in which AMD’s GPUs shine. However, we haven’t experienced any issue at all during our tests (apart from some shadow issues). We’ve seen some reports about crashes, glitches and various issues on NVIDIA’s GPUs.
WOLFENSTEIN 2 PC DRIVER
And even though NVIDIA has not released a Game-Ready driver for it, the game works great on both NVIDIA’s and AMD’s GPUs. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus only uses the Vulkan API, and the results speak for themselves. Without Hyper Threading, there was a 30fps difference between the aforementioned systems. With Hyper Threading enabled, our simulated quad-core system performed similarly to our six-core system. Furthermore, our simulated quad-core system also benefited from Hyper Threading, suggesting that the game can take advantage of more than four CPU threads. When we enabled Hyper Threading, we noticed a noticeable performance increase. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus ran with more than 60fps, even on our simulated dual-core system and without Hyper Threading. We’ve done this in order to avoid any possible GPU limitation.

WOLFENSTEIN 2 PC 720P
For our CPU tests, we lowered our resolution to 720p and set the Resolution Scaler to 50%. While Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus does not require a high-end CPU, it scales incredibly well on more than four CPU cores/threads. In order to find out how the game performs on a variety of CPUs, we simulated a dual-core and a quad-core CPU. MachineGames has also added a FOV slider, options for Film Grain and Sharpening, as well as a Resolution Scaler and Colorblind setting.

PC gamers can also enable/disable Deferred Rendering, GPU Culling, Chromatic Aberration and HDR Bloom. There are also options for Motion Blur, Depth of Field, Image Streaming, Water, Volumetric, Objects Filtering and LOD. PC gamers can adjust the quality of Lights, Shadows, Particles, Directional Occlusion, Reflections and Decals. MachineGames has included one hell of graphics settings to tweak. This basically means that our GTX690 performed similarly to a single GTX680. NVIDIA has not released an optimized driver for this game and as such, there is no SLI profile for it yet.
WOLFENSTEIN 2 PC WINDOWS 10
And we were right. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is one of the most optimized PC games of 2017.įor this PC Performance Analysis, we used an Intel i7 4930K (overclocked at 4.2Ghz) with 8GB RAM, AMD’s Radeon RX580, NVIDIA’s GTX980Ti and GTX690, Windows 10 64-bit and the latest version of the GeForce and Catalyst drivers. As such, when Bethesda revealed that its sequel would be using the new id Tech 6 Engine, we were certain that it would perform better than its predecessor. These issues were mainly due to the id Tech 5 Engine. While Wolfenstein: The New Order was a great first-person shooter, it was plagued by numerous optimization issues.
